of the attacks, when 21 people were killed and more than 180 others were injured. a year after the bombing, six men were wrongfully convicted, and to date, no one has been brought to justice. now, michael hayes has apologised to the families of those who were killed, but refused to say exactly what role he played. relatives of the victims have described his apology as "insulting". oui’ our ireland correspondent has the full story. the bombs were left in the heart of birmingham on a thursday night. placed inside pubs to cause destruction. explosions that led to 21 deaths. in the same year — 1974 — mick hayes took part in this funeral for a hunger striker in london. he was a well—known republican, an admitted ira bomb—maker who was convicted of paramilitary offences in the republic of ireland. and now, four decades

after the murders in birmingham, mick hayes has emerged again to admit he was part of the group that bombed the city. was a participant in the ira's activities in birmingham — how clear can i make it? did you plant the bombs? i was a participant in the ira's campaign in england. but you're not answering the question — did you plant the bombs? i'm giving you the only answer i can give you. mick hayes has in the past been questioned and named as a suspect in the bombings, but he's never been charged. even now, he won't say what role he played in the ira attack, but he says he takes "collective responsibility" for it. and i apologise, not only for myself. i apologise for all republicans, who had no intention of hurting anybody and sympathise with you. and the relatives, again, the relatives will say that you have blood on your hands.

i know they'll say that, and from their point of view, i can justify that. i don't... i don't shirk my responsibility in that direction. a group of men were charged and found guilty of the bombing, but it was a famous miscarriage of justice. and the convictions of the men who became known as the birmingham six were eventually overturned. for 16.5 years, we have been used as political scapegoats! today, the families of those murdered in the pub bombings watched mick hayes' apology, and were angered by it. he's a coward, short and simple. he reckons that he'd rather die than be an informer. but he's more than happy to take "collective responsibility" for the murder of 21 innocents in birmingham. mick hayes avoided many questions, but he claims mistakes led the ira to give bomb warnings too late,

and that he personally defused a third bomb left in birmingham city centre that night. the explosions, they were horrific. they were terrible. it shocked the ira. when they found out what had happened, we defused the third one. in the hagley road. who defused it? idid. many in modern—day birmingham will question why mick hayes has come forward now, particularly as no—one has ever been held legally responsible for murdering the 21 people who died on a night out in this city. and chrisjoins us now live from belfast. one wonders why has this man come forward now? i think a lot of people will ask about his motivation. it

could be one of the number of different things. first, he wants to make clear what happened that night. new inquests are taking place into the pub bombings in birmingham and he seems to have wanted to clear some of those issues up. he has spoken about the fact that telephone boxes were not working that evening when he went to phone in bomb warnings, mistakes were made in terms of giving those warnings and the ira were shocked by the carnage that resulted from the two explosions. and that is why he says he personally did diffused third bomb. but i think a lot of the relatives will simply be angered by that. first there will be many that think the appropriate place to go and give this information is at the inquest itself and he has made clear he is not going to do that. beyond that, there will also be people asking questions about why he has not been investigated himself. i mentioned that he had been questioned in the past but he has never been charged and there will be some asking now why the police are

not being more proactive in terms of taking him in forfurther questioning. tonight west midlands police said they investigation remains open into all 21 killings and beyond that they said they will ta ke and beyond that they said they will take any new information passed to them very seriously in terms of bringing people to justice. and you can see more on that story tonight in a special programme "who bombed birmingham?" at 11:30 here on the bbc news channel , and viewers in northern ireland can also watch it at 10:a0pm on bbc one. a conservative backbencher has had the party whip suspended after using a racially offensive term during a conversation about brexit. anne—marie morris has apologise. theresa may said the remark was com pletely theresa may said the remark was completely run acceptable but it is not currently clear how long the suspension will last. the prime minister's offer to opposition parties to work with the government on major issues has been rebuffed by labour who said her party "had

completely run out of ideas". the strategy is being seen as an attempt by theresa may to reassert her authority since losing her parliamentary majority in last month's election. but tonight she's having to deal with a new problem brought here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. monday morning at the market. not any old shoppers. how are you? the prime minister and her australian counterpart, here to meet people caught up in the terror attack. but prime minister turnbull happens to be an old friend of theresa may. she does not seem to have many in politics, these days. thank you prime minister, thank you malcolm, for visiting us today and the excellent discussions we've had. it's always a pleasure to welcome our australian friends to london and even more so when we've just beaten them at the cricket. with fears about her authority in her own party, she is making an appeal for others to work with her. you want the opposition to contribute as well as to criticise, you are expected to say tomorrow. what do you say to your own critics, including in your own party, who say it is you that needs to change?

the government has got an ambitious agenda. it is an ambitious agenda which is there to address the big challenges the country faces. of course, one of those is getting the brexit negotiations right but there are other challenges we face as a country, too. i think the public will rightly want us to get the broadest possible consensus in looking at those issues. jeremy corbyn. her offer was mocked by the labour leader. the government is apparently now asking other parties for their policy ideas and so, if the prime minister would like it, i'm very happy to furniture with a copy of our election manifesto. a difficult afternoon got worse. anne marie morris is duly elected... while she was on her feet, a recording emerged of tory mp annemarie morris talking at a private event about brexit, using offensive language. she said the phrase was unintentional and has apologised

unreservedly if offence was caused. the comments emerging on the day the prime minister called for an end to abuse meant mps were quick to seize on it. does she agree that where that where that happens, organisations should take decisive and swift action? offensive behaviour by backbenchers is one thing. asking the opposition for help is another. but with no majority to call her own, the prime minister can barely afford for anything to go wrong. with her authority cracked, there are no easy days for this prime minister. theresa may has now suspended that mp, anne marie morris, condemning her remarks. what is not clear is for how long she is going to be out of the tory party. and while there may be calls for her to quit altogether, to stand down, in this febrile political atmosphere at the moment, the conservatives would be very nervous of any by—election.

even by suspending have some time, though, it means theresa may's narrow current advantage in the commons has slipped down by one and this is an era where every vote will matter. the department for education says pay rises for teachers in england and wales will remain capped at 1%. but the independent body which reviews teachers' pay has warned that it's making it difficult to attract new recruits to the profession. our education editor bra nwen jeffreys reports. can teachers pay stretch any further, or are the days of 1% pay rises numbered ? schools are beginning to feel the impact took — not enough people training as teachers, others leaving afterjust a few years. can schools afford to give them any more? the people coming out of university, they looked at the pay of various differentjobs, and it is producing our ability to recruit.

the review body said last year that if there is not a pay rise of more than 1%, and i think they meant quite a bit more than that, then there will be a problem in teacher recruitment. teachers' pay in england has been held down. first, a two—year pay freeze meant no increase in 2011 and 2012. then, a 1% average pay cap rise has been in place, just like the rest of the public sector. it would cost around £1.6 billion for schools in england to increase pay in line with inflation. teachers' pay isn't what parents talk about in the playground, but school budgets are, and the two are connected, because pay, national insurance and pensions all come out of what schools have to spend. and it is the concern around the budget pressures on schools which can shift the political compass in the debate about public sector spending. ministers have been singing very

different tunes on public pay. but the education secretary has not called for the pay cap to be lifted. justine greening is facing bigger pressures on school budgets. rising costs already mean real terms cuts per—pupil. so today, no promise of more money for teachers but a warning this can't go on forever. the government made it very clear to all the pay review bodies that they should be looking at limiting increases overall to 1%, within the government's paid targets and spending targets. politics may have changed more recently, but the work of this review body will have happened over the last several months, and they're still working within the instructions which were given to them a year ago. schools face growing pressures on their budgets, they need enough teachers, too. it is a problem today's report warns won't go away.

and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 this evening in the papers. the headlines on bbc news: more than 40 years after the birmingham pub bombings and ira bomb maker has confessed to being part of the group responsible for the attacks. the conservative mp anne marie morris, has had the party whip suspended, after using a racially offensive phrase. she has apologised unreservedly for the remark. to its policy of public sector wage restraint. sport now, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. wimbledon is where we will head

straightaway. good evening. there is both a british man and woman through to the quarterfinals of wimbledon through for the first time since 1973. andy murray and johanna konta at both both made the last eight. murray ina at both both made the last eight. murray in a straight wet sets win over the world number 46. it's the tenth time in a row the defending champion has reached the quarterfinals. he will play the american sam querrey next. that was by far the best i'd hit the ball so far in the tournament. i'm pleased with that and he's not an easy guide to play, he has one of the best backhands and he can play every shot. so it is not always easy to see where you should be playing the ball, but i managed to get it done. quite a different story for a rafael nadal, he is still going and as you can see it is 12—11 to his opponent.

it isa can see it is 12—11 to his opponent. it is a marathon five set match in the fourth round. these are live pictures from court one. rafael nadal has been on court for more than four and nadal has been on court for more thanfourand a nadal has been on court for more than four and a half hours. he is attempting to reach the quarterfinals. that is ongoing on bbc two right now. it has been a thriller. roger federer had a few of the same problems straight sets win for him, he is going for an eighth wimbledon title. he will play in his 50th grand slam quarterfinal on wednesday. so tojohanna konta who has become the first british woman to reach the quarterfinals of women wimbledon since 1984. she was pegged back to one set all before closing

out the match 6—4. she will now face the second seed. there are certain situations that i dream of, dreamt of as situations that i dream of, dreamt ofasa situations that i dream of, dreamt of as a little girl and even now to be part of those battles on big stages. i think that is what it is about to be a professional athlete. speaking of dreams is a little girl, your first british woman to quarterfinal since 1984. what does that mean to you? it's pretty special. very excited about that and i'm looking forward to the fact that i get to play again. she remains the bookies favourite in an open women's draw. venus williams has won this title five times before and she made the quarterfinals with a straight sets win over the croatian. it was one of the earlier matches of the day and she booked a place at the last eight comfortably. there will bea last eight comfortably. there will

be a new women's world number one after angelique kerber was beat in the fourth round. her opponent when three sets. she will play in the quarterfinals. elsewhere this evening manchester united have completed the signing of romelu lukaku completed the signing of romelu lu ka ku for completed the signing of romelu lukaku for a fee reported to be an initial £75 million. the fee is inc believed to include 15 million pounds further in add—ons. jerzy mourinho says he will be a natural fit at old trafford. there is some flash photography in these pictures. wayne rooney said he is not moving toa wayne rooney said he is not moving to a retirement home by moving to everton. he says he wants to win trophies at his childhood club and will even try to force his way back to the england squad. will even try to force his way back to the england squadlj will even try to force his way back to the england squad. i was excited this morning to go in and meet the lads and get on the train and pitching. i think it is an exciting

time for myself but it is an exciting time for the football club i think. we are moving forward, signing the right players, we are all hoping this year can be a good yearfor all hoping this year can be a good year for us. they are still two sets all and on serve. 12 games on that court one match of rafael nadal. that is all the sport. more in the next hour. there were heated scenes in the high court this afternoon as the parents of the terminally ill baby, charlie gard, returned with lawyers to present new evidence of an experimental treatment in america — they say — could help him. great ormond street hospital in london, which is treating the boy, says the therapy is unjustified. but charlie's parents both interrupted the hearing shouting out that the hospital was lying. 11—month—old charlie is suffering from a rare genetic condition and has brain damage. our medical correspondent, fergus walsh reports. vocal, passionate and determined.

charlie gard's parents have considerable support, including the pope and donald trump. let us pray. and now this pro—life evangelical preacher who was once jailed for anti—abortion protest in the us and has been praying by charlie's bedside. if a court, if a judge, if a hospital official can come and tell a parent that they don't have the right or the authority to provide the kind of medical care that their child's needs, then parental rights are under attack and around the world, the fabric of our society unravels. it is well established in uk law that where parents and doctors cannot agree, a judge must decide what is appropriate. charlie is so weak, he can't move and has serious brain damage. four different courts have ruled he should be allowed to die with dignity. in court, lawyers for charlie's

parents said there was new information which showed an experimental treatment on offer america might help their son. thejudge said there wasn't a person alive who did not want charlie to get better and he would be delighted the changes ruling but it had to be on the basis of clear evidence. he said he had to consider the hospital's view that every day that passed inflicted did more suffering an charlie. charlie has a rare inherited condition, mitochondrial depletion syndrome. mitochondria are found in nearly every cell and provide energy to the body but charlie's don't function, so his muscles and organs are wasting. nucleoside therapy is a powder given in food which contains some of the building blocks of dna and could help mitochondrial function. animal studies suggest a modest 4% improvement. so far, 18 patients have been treated but crucially, none has charlie's genetic mutation or his severe brain damage. but the high court was

told that unpublished data showing dramatic clinical improvement and claims the therapy could improve brain function. the experimental therapy has never been tried in humans or animals with charlie's exact condition. paediatricians say great ormond street would be concerned it could do him harm. there's a lot of unknowns here and i think the doctors and nurses looking after him, colleagues really will have considered all of these processes because that is what they do, that is their dayjob and they are some of the most expert people in the world in this area. the judge said he would consider the merits of any charlie's parents left court saying they were hopeful of persuading the judge on thursday to allow him to ta ke judge on thursday to allow him to take him to treatment. meanwhile charlie continues to receive round—the—clock care at great ormond street hospital. well the family's spokesman alisdair seton marsden,

gave this statement at the end of today's hearing. baby charlie ba by charlie and baby charlie and his parents are thankfulfor baby charlie and his parents are thankful for the outcome of the hearing in the high court today in front ofjustice hearing in the high court today in front of justice francis. hearing in the high court today in front ofjustice francis. charlie's pa rents front ofjustice francis. charlie's parents look front ofjustice francis. charlie's pa rents look forward front ofjustice francis. charlie's parents look forward to new evidence being heard before the high court this thursday the 13th ofjuly. that will result in charlie's parents taking him to either the united states of america or to italy for ground—breaking treatment. mum and dad say that if charlie is still fighting then they are still fighting. lastly, but not least, charlie's parents wish to thank the continued support of millions of supporters of baby charlie from around the world. thank you, ladies and gentlemen. the metropolitan police now say they believe around 255 people managed to escape the fire at grenfell tower last month.

the official estimate of the dead and missing remains at approximately 80. the truly tragic fire should never have happened. it is ourjob as the police to investigate it. we will go where the evidence takes us. we will look at all available offences within the criminal law. if we identify evidence that an individual 01’ identify evidence that an individual oran identify evidence that an individual or an organisation has committed a criminal offence we will do what we can to bring those people or organisations to justice. our home affairs correspondent is here now. how have they come to this figure? through a month-long investigation, 250 officers involved in the recovery operation, tracing people involved who lived l the people involved who lived in the flat, who may have known people living in the flats. they have spoken to 106 residents of the 106

flats where they found people alive and they believe in the other flats everybody died. contrary to earlier in the days after the fire, the police say they believe about 350 people were living in grenfell tower. earlier people were seeing 500 or 600. the police say they don't get is that many and some of the people were not there on the night. about 13 were not there. they have come to this figure of 255, based on tracing as many people as they can find and following up leads about who has been reported missing. and they still say crucially about 80 is the figure they believe is either the 80 is the figure they believe is eitherthe numberof 80 is the figure they believe is either the number of dead or missing in this fire. that figure has not changed but the new figure which we have not heard before, 255 is the number they believe escaped. but there is such a level of distrust. we have both been there. the local community will not believe it. they will continue to believe for some

time until it is comprehensively disproved in some way, that there we re disproved in some way, that there were a lot more people in that building. that is true. i have reported the story on twitter today andl reported the story on twitter today and i have had a lot of people coming back to me saying i do not believe it. and i think that does start with that figure of five to 600 going around as the number of people living in the block. if you see that many people living in the block and you see the police number slowly increasing for the number of dead, you think there is a big gap, it is quite easy to think something is wrong there. the numbers do not add up. but the police are adamant to 350. and they say for example, perhaps some people do not know that most of the block is to rent a one—bedroom flats, not big family flats. having said that, we think there were some big families living in smaller flats. but they say this is what we think the number of people living in the flats was, and

i think that is crucial. whether people will believe it i do not know, but it is not a final figure either. really that will come once the police have finished their work and the inquests have happened and even when the public enquiry is reported. a long way to go. in what's become britain's longest—running extradition case, a scottish man has lost his legal battle against being sent to the us. philip harkins, who's 38, denies shooting a man dead during a robbery in florida in 1999. he has been fighting extradition since 2003. now the european court of human rights has ruled that his rights would not be breached if he were jailed for life without parole in florida. the high court has ruled that government arms sales to saudi arabia are lawful and shouldn't be halted. it follows a case brought by a pressure group, campaign against the arms trade. it argued that the uk had broken international humanitarian law by selling weapons that had been used to kill civilians in yemen, where the saudis have conducted air strikes against rebels. president trump's team has made it clear he didn't know that his eldest

son and son—in—law had met a russian lawyer who — during last year's presidential election campaign , claimed to have damaging information about hillary clinton. donald trumpjunior insists "no meaningful information" was provided about her. tonight he treated to say he is happy to work with the senate looking into this. our correspondent anthony zurcher is in washington. the problem for donald trump junior is that his story has changed on this in the last few days. it has. originally when the new york times reported about the meeting on friday, he said they'd just discussed sanctions on russia and adoption policy. then the new york times came out with another ex—article on sunday saying that trump junior knew possible

information would be discussed about hillary clinton and he says yes he knew that, but nothing damaging came up knew that, but nothing damaging came up and this was typical opposition research that campaigns do. every campaign does that. now there is a little bit of a difference there that usually opposition research does not involve the candidate's son, his son—in—law, the chair of his campaign and it usually does not involve reaching out to a foreign national who might have information. but that is their defence right now. i think it is still dangerous for donald trump junior and it i think it is still dangerous for donald trumpjunior and it might open him up to criminal investigation. but president trump is making it clear he had no idea his son was meeting this person. and his son was meeting this person. and his personal lawyer released that statement and donald trump junior reiterated this and also said that gerald kershner the son—in—law and the campaign chairdid gerald kershner the son—in—law and the campaign chair did not know what the campaign chair did not know what the meeting was going to be about before they went into it. but the

idea of possible collusion between the trump campaign and russian operatives have been bubbling around and here we have the first tangible evidence that not only was there a meeting with a russian national but members of the trump campaign went into the meeting with the possibility that they could get damaging information on hillary clinton. and then in the subsequent weeks and months we found out that russian backed hackers actually came up russian backed hackers actually came up with damaging information about hillary clinton which was leaked to the press through wiki leaks including hacked e—mails from clinton's campaign which were very embarrassing for her. many thanks. for many it has been a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. there was thunder across east anglia but

there were still some warmth with temperatures up to the 20s. the showers will continue through the evening then fade away and then cloud will gather from the west and showery rain will move inland. it will be another mild night with temperatures of 11—16 degrees. some rain tomorrow morning in wales and south—west england, spreading east, and there's a more persistent rain by the end of the day. the best of the weather in northern scotland, northern ireland and scotland. temperatures 14—20 degrees. it looks like it will stay cooler and fresher with rain at times and also some sun. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines: more than 40 years after the birmingham pub bombings, an ira bomb—maker has confessed

to being part of the group responsible for the attacks. the conservative mp anne marie morris has had the party whip suspended after using a racially offensive phrase. she has apologised unreservedly for the remark. teachers' pay will remain capped at 1%, as the government sticks to its policy of public sector wage restraint. the judge hearing the case of the terminally—ill baby charlie gard, says he'll need "dramatic and new" evidence to change his mind and allow experimental treatment in america. and britain's andy murray and johanna konta are both through to the last eight at wimbledon. and there is a battle on the number one court. rafael nadal is out of wimbledon, beaten by the grass court

specialist giles miller. quite an upset their number one court. rafael nadal is an andy murray's half so that opens up the way for andy murray to get further through the competition. that is news right to you there, rafael nadal has lost at wimbledon. more than 40 years after the birmingham pub bombings, an ira bomb—maker has confessed to being part of the group responsible for the attacks. well, a little earlier i spoke to peter taylor, the bbcjournalist and broadcaster, who reported on the troubles for more than 40 years, during which time he gained the confidence of paramilitaries from all sides. he told me about the significance of what mick hayes has said about the ira birmingham pub bombings in 1974. those words, collective responsibility, i very important, andi responsibility, i very important, and i suspect that means under half

of the ira leadership without saying so of the ira leadership without saying so much. it is important to remember the climate of the time, wilson had just come into downing street in the autumn of 1974, the secret back channel talks were just on the cards in the background in secret. it did not make sense under those circumstances for the ira to set out deliberately to murder 21 people into birmingham pubs. wilson's policy at the time was to secure irish unity by consent. it didn't make any political sense for the eye area to carry out this atrocity. the credible reason for its is that a week before the pub bombings in birmingham, and ira volunteer in the midlands called james mcdaid was about to plant a bomb and the bomb exploded and killed him. he was

going to be buried in birmingham, there was outrage of this and the new home secretary royjenkins banned the funeral and he was buried in the irish republic. there was anger among republicans and the ira unit in birmingham because the funeral was not allowed to go ahead. i credible explanation is that it was the local ira units lashing out and making a revenge attack on the people in the birmingham pubs. the ira has never admitted responsibility? it has not. i interviewed a senior member many yea rs interviewed a senior member many years ago, he was a senior member of the army council, and i has to if you knew anything about birmingham. he said he was shocked by it and unaware of it and as far as he was aware the ira was responsible for the bombing, and i think that is probably true. do you think we're

getting closer to the truth about what happened and how the bombings came about? i think we're getting closer. as this are many of these horrible incidents in the irish conflict we will never get to the bottom of it, but it does shed light on the bombings and it is important to remember the political circumstances in which took place and what had happened just before and what had happened just before and the fact that an ira volunteer was not allowed to be buried by the british government. the ira in birmingham just lashed out. as we've been hearing, a conservative backbencher has had the party whip suspended after using a racially offensive term during a discussion about brexit. anne marie morris — who represents newton abbott in devon — has apologised. theresa may said the remark was "completely unacceptable". here's part of what she had to say. in two years, what happens if there

is no deal? in case you missed it, she used the n—word. this is a problem for the mp and for theresa may. now the snp has been suspended. as soon as those comments emerged there was an apology. —— now that mp has been suspended. what followed was pressure on the conservative party to take some disciplinary action. even conservative mps were saying that apologies were not enough. fairly quickly we had a statement from the prime minister theresa may saying that it was com pletely u na cce pta ble theresa may saying that it was completely unacceptable and she was suspending the member. the reaction you might expect, but that puts her ina you might expect, but that puts her in a difficult position because with

no majority in the house of commons theresa may cannot afford to lose the support of any mps. we do not know how long the suspension will be for or what the outcome will be. the conservative party said they would investigate. there is a reluctance across the house to indulge in a by—election because the numbers are so by—election because the numbers are so slim. theresa may is already relying on ten members of the dup so she cannot afford to lose any of her own. the prime minister's offered to opposition parties to work with the government has been rebuffed by the labour party, who said the conservatives have ran out of ideas. the strategy is being seen as an attempt to assert her authority after losing her parliamentary majority last month. i have been speaking to an acid break and our

staff are thoughts on theresa may reaching out. i think a lot of people will welcome that. people wa nt people will welcome that. people want us to work together. there are issues where we should work more, social care is an example. we have been talking about it for a decade so we been talking about it for a decade so we need to get on and do it. we need to come up with a plan that will work for everybody and one we can agree on. i want to see more of that work when it comes to brexit. i wa nt to that work when it comes to brexit. i want to see the 48% to a completely excluded from this, for then to the pa rt excluded from this, for then to the part of a coming together to work out exactly what we want, to make sure we get the very best deal for ever biddy in our country and for generations to come. you have alluded to your differences, perhaps, with theresa may and away day she was leading the brexit

negotiations. there is also your criticism, or your calls perhaps, for another look at the 1% public sector pay cap. when theresa may reaches out to the opposition party, she is also reaching out to her backbenchers and people like you to stop criticising her. i don't know about the 1% thing, i am clear about that. these things sound very admirable but you have to work out where the money will come from, that is my concern with taking the 1% cap of public sector workers, where will the money come from? we have to see a proper debate and we can explain to people why it is not simple to abolish tuition fees will raise wages for public sector workers, you have to work with that money comes

from and they will be consequences. raising taxes is often not a good thing to do an equally borrowing money is not the right thing to do either. she is talking about some of these other issues like social care andi these other issues like social care and i welcome her and think she is right to toss owned it got late to the labour party and said to the leadership, set aside some of your dogmatic tribal approaches, a feature of the hard left, and see whether they can reach our work with the government on issues like social care. she didn't want to get into the suggestion that theresa may might be talking to people in her own party like her, but that is a fa ct. own party like her, but that is a fact. theresa may has to deal with her backbenchers. there are those who are saying this approach by theresa may is a grown—up and mature approach which is necessary now she

has no majority and is dependent on everyone. but it has been rebuffed by her political opponents. jeremy corbyn was almost mocking of it today and he offered her a copy of the labour party manifesto to read to see she wanted to borrow any policies. analyses that she would welcome a different approach brexit, something that takes into account the booted to remain rather than the 5296 the booted to remain rather than the 52% who booted to leave alone. we understand that theresa may was focused on domestic issues, but today she reference things like the abuse of mps. there remains a different agenda between theresa may and some of her backbenchers and within the conservative party around key issues. now backbenchers are emboldened and i cannot see theresa may's wanting to do anything that

they would see as propping up a conservative government. despite the pleas of theresa may and those who support her, doing it in practice is going to be difficult. it is almost a year since theresa may became prime minister. how would you sum it 7 prime minister. how would you sum it up? whata prime minister. how would you sum it up? what a year. people who used to make predictions and baltic. doing so because so much has changed in a short time. it has only been a year since the referendum that change the political landscape in such a surprise in weight and one of the most significant decisions that theresa may took was to call the general election to try and strengthen her hand. a—year—old she is on about different position, she does not have a majority in the house of commons, and we will see them higher in her speech tomorrow that this is going to have to be a leadership that is about consensus

and winning support as much as anything else. the city of muzzle has been freed from islamic state. the second largest city in iraq was where isis have been and its grip on territory has been gradually reduced in iraq and syria. in the last nine months it has been targeted in mosul by the iraqi army, backed by coalition is —— coalition air strikes. however there are still pockets of resistance. that is a coalition air strike that has gone in. we are at the front line of one of the last pockets of ies resistance. there are snipers up

there, 200 or so. look at the devastation and the heavy fighting there has been. every car and building has been wrecked. even though the iraqi prime minister says that we're now on the verge of victory, his words, there is still a battle ahead and there are still ies fighters out there. the battle for mosul is not over. it is called the gig economy where millions of people are caught working flexibly without the usual workplace detections. they are neither fully employed the usual workplace detections. they are neitherfully employed or self—employed. tomorrow some clarity may be introduced after an employment tribunal has look at this labour market and they are expected to demand an overhaul with

guarantees a minimum wage. this man is one of more than a million people in the uk who do not get paid by the aber but by the task. the flexibility sits him, but if he has a slow day it is him who loses. on a good day, if you work around ten hours you can earn around £150. ona around ten hours you can earn around £150. on a slow day you will learn about £70 in many hours and sometimes you will spend two hours and only get one job. it sometimes you will spend two hours and only get onejob. it is not sometimes you will spend two hours and only get one job. it is not good when it is not busy. if you get sick or has an accident, he will not have an income. but tomorrow workers like him are expected to be classified as dependent contractors, entitled to the minimum wage. the big fear of gig a company —— gig —— the big fear

of companies that use get companies is that they will end up paying more. they need to prove that workers can earn more than minimum wage. the report is expected to say that if companies are going to pay by the tasks they will have to show that employees are in a least one first more than employees on the minimum wage. p shaped approach could be a backwards. that approach was taken for could be a backwards. that approach was ta ken for cleaners could be a backwards. that approach was taken for cleaners in hotels, they could not clean enough rooms to qualify. our concern is thatjibe as could be expected to travel so fast around london and the uk that they never qualify for the national minimum wage. gig economy companies are popular because they are

efficient and cheaper. they avoid paying national insurance. it is unlikely that their conditions can be stepped up about some increase in price for consumers. the headlines on bbc news: more than 40 years after the birmingham pub bombings, an ira bomb—maker has confessed to being part of the group responsible for the attacks. the conservative mp anne marie morris, has had the party whip suspended, after using a racially offensive phrase. she has apologised unreservedly for the remark. teachers' pay will remain capped at 1%, as the government sticks to its policy of public sector wage restraint. an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. rafael nadal has been knocked out

after a five set match against muller. here are the closing stages. after 17 years, it is the win of his life, and the double champion is beating here. rafael nadal is always so sporting, but it is muller's day. arejohn watson is at wimbledon for us now. arejohn watson is at wimbledon for us now. this was totally unexpected, but what are 5 cents. a real thriller. it is fair to see

that even rafael nadal will be astonished by that. a great performance from both players. the match started at quarter to four this afternoon. 28 games in the fifth set. their one stage it looked like a rafael nadal was going to turnit like a rafael nadal was going to turn it around when he pulled it back to 2—2 in sets. then there was that the cider. roger federer wrapped up his match in two hours, but it took more than two hours to finish the fifth set. it was a surprise for rather novell. it is rare for him to come into wimbledon fit and rare for him to come into wimbledon fitand in rare for him to come into wimbledon fit and in foreign having one another title not to win. here he was all in a great run of four. he did not drop a set at the french

open and he had not dropped a set coming into day, so people thought he was going to when his third wimbledon title. he was set to play andy murray m the semifinals. but muller played derry well today. he is seeded 16th and here's never been to the quarterfinals in wimbledon before, his best result was in 2008 when he reached the quarterfinals. this is what wimbledon does. if a player can galvanise themselves and produce a performance like today it is this championship. although at the tennis purists might like to seem the tennis purists might like to seem rafael nadal in the quarterfinals, it is not to be. muller said when it came off court heard tidy was but he has to pick themselves up to go again. the cold est themselves up to go again. the coldest day manic monday because we see the conclusion of eight matches in the women and men job. we have

seen a in the women and men job. we have seen a manic match today. there's another one still to be concluded and novak djokovic will play tomorrow. he will be hoping for an easier match the rafael nadal. you mentioned that the cure is probably wanted rafael nadal to go through, but most british people probably didn't because he is on the simple as andy murray. this might open up the way for andy murray to get to the final. it might. if you are at ascot andy murray who he would rather face, it might. if you are at ascot andy murray who he would ratherface, i'm sure he will say muller. andy murray will say he is taking each match as it comes. he has been struggling with some fitness coming into this championship and he missed several matches in the warm up to wimbledon on the grass. he only played one match on grass all year before

coming into the championships. people were talking about how badly his troublesome hip would affect them. it did not appear to do so through his opening round matches. he gave us a through his opening round matches. he gave us a scare through his opening round matches. he gave us a scare in the third round when he dropped a set but i think the nature of his win today shows that he is on for and he does not seem to be struggling to much. he seems to lumber around a little bit and it is how he carries himself. today the straight set win for andy murray and now there is no rather an adult. the player he faces in the next round has been the defending champion before. i think with the result today it is opening

up with the result today it is opening upfor with the result today it is opening up for andy murray. wouldn't it be great to see a successful defence of this title this year. thank you. it's become the first national park in the world to gain world heritage status. the lake district is now on a par with the taj mahal and stonehenge, after a decision by unesco, the agency that protects historic and significant heritage sites around the world. the move could be a boost to tourism and business, and could be worth as much as £20 million a year to the cumbrian economy. phil chapman reports. it has taken more than 30 years of campaigning with two deferred bids back in the 1980s, but the lake district is finally a world heritage site. the area has already been welcoming more than 18 million people every year, spending more than £1 billion annually, and providing about 18,000 jobs. it is thought the new status will bring even more benefits. people in keswick have been reacting to the news today. i think it's brilliant.

so it should be, yes. we heard it last night on the television, look north, i think it was. yes, yes. i think it's absolutely wonderful, i'm really pleased. have you seen it? it's beautiful. should definitely be one, i agree. might bring in a few more jobs. you know, i think it will be more sustainable region because of it. hopefully, not too many more tourists. as the tourism minister, i will be looking very carefully at the numbers. it is anticipated there will be an increase in tourist numbers and, you know, that should bring more money into the local economy. obviously, the effects on the area will be looked at carefully and that will be something for the local authority in cumbria to examine with the parks authority. i will be taking a close interest in it as well. but overall, where it has happened elsewhere, it has been a positive effect and local people have been pleased with the impact. over the next six months, there will be a series of celebration events across the lakes, including lakes alive in the first weekend in september and an official

ceremony in october. it is beautiful, especially in this weather. what will it be like for the rest of the week? the weather will be changeable this week. tomorrow we will be lucky to see 20—21. there will be rain and some of it will be heavy. this was not lincolnshire this afternoon. we've had some showers, and in the last few hours these of moved into lincolnshire. some of these will continue for the next few hours. overnight tonight there will be more showery outbreaks of rain from the west, a sign of something more

changeable as we go into tomorrow. it will not be cold tonight will stop there will be outbreaks of rain from the word go and then there will be heavier and persistent wet weather in the south and west through the day. we start off with patchy rain across the south—east. it can start for wimbledon and the more wet weather will push into the south—west. the best of the weather is likely to be across scotland. by the afternoon some of that will be heavy across south—west england and said wales. heading towards fw 19. said wales. heading towards fw19. it will be here for the remainder of the day. some welcome rain for the gardens and farmers. how far north the rain goes is open to question but i expect scotland and northern ireland will continue the sunny spells with top temperatures of 14-20 spells with top temperatures of 14—20 degrees. there is potentially going to be some rain delaying play

at wimbledon tomorrow. the wet weather will clear away through the night and it will do so, the low pressure moving to the east. it is going to feel chilly, but a better day in prospect on wednesday, drier with some sunshine and temperatures between 19—22 degrees. perhaps cold on the coast. high pressure stays with us for a time on thursday before a new frontal system pushes on. there will be showery rain but not a bad day on thursday. the showery rain will clear away by the end of the day on friday. there is more from me in half an hour. hello, this is outside source. we start in iraq, where the prime minister has formally declared victory over the islamic state group in the city of mosul. i declare from this place, i declare to the whole world the end, the failure and the collapse

of the so—called caliphate. we'll hear from our reporter in mosul, and get analysis from bbc arabic on what happens next. president trump's son admits he met a russian lawyer who promised to reveal damaging material on hillary clinton. this comes as us officials continue to investigate alleged russian meddling in the presidential election. all this week we'll be looking at the new silk road — the trillion dollar rail project linking china and europe.
