mail has claims conservative mps were targets of hate campaign to the election. and — ‘wade to gojo‘ is the sun's back page headline — as virginia wade celebrates johanna konta making it through to the semi finals of wimbledon. we will discuss that later. we will start with the disturbing story about the pm ordering an enquiry into nhs deaths after years of campaigning and finally the relatives of some of those who died from contaminated blood products in the 70s and 80s will get the enquiry they have been after. it has been widely welcomed and there is cross— party widely welcomed and there is cross—party pressure for this enquiry, including the dup supporting theresa may. i do not know how significant that was in it. blood products given by the nhs to british haemophiliacs and other patients and it turned out a lot of it to be infected with hepatitis c
10:46 pm
and hiv. police 2&00 have died and thousands more infected and families put at risk and claims the authorities knew and covered it up. and it took years before they stop the use of these products. we will have a public inquiry and the victims will be consulted on what sort of enquiry. it is very sad of course, that this goes on so long and it takes so long to get a inquiry. almost what theresa may does best. another statesman—like statement issued today about it. and references back the week of the anniversary walking into downing street and promising to write injustices and it is significant in her statement about the need for the enquiry. she makes the point of saying, and i will seek to root out injustice wherever i find it. she has been trying to restate her

mission. does that mean we will get a inquiry into what happened at orgreave? it could be because she is ina orgreave? it could be because she is in a position where she has to do the things she can achieve and there is not much that she can achieve. there was not much of a legislative programme in the queen's speech. brexit moving slowly. she can do this, it is within her power. we have the gre nfell tower enquiry. this, it is within her power. we have the grenfell tower enquiry. we will have this inquiry and you may be right, there will be an orgreave inquiry. these things are complicated because once you decide to have a inquiry you have to decide what kind of inquiry and how technical and in this case to what extent will they look at how specifically what happened as regarding the screening of these blood products and how much would it be about what happened to people?
10:48 pm
and about their experiences. there isa and about their experiences. there is a tension between finding out what happened and giving people a chance to tell their stories and a chance to tell their stories and a chance to tell their stories and a chance to have some element of catharsis. it seems bizarre that in those days, the blood was not screened, it was sold by people to hospitals and so one, some of those selling products were criminals. american prisoners paid for their donations. it seems bizarre it was not screened. it is about whether you accept other people'sstandards because they were obtained from elsewhere and we did not know the extent to which they screamed and we would not screening. the telegraph newspaper talking about inquiries —— which they screamed. and a federal

prosecutor is looking into the possibility of collusion between the donald trump campaign and russian officials. all of those enquiries have been given another bit of evidence. exhibit 700 92. an e—mail between donald trump junior and evidence. exhibit 700 92. an e—mail between donald trumpjunior and a p0p between donald trumpjunior and a pop impresario from britain. only in america! very weird. the pop impresario is allegedly in touch with donald trump's sun and says the russians have interesting information and might help you win the election and so what do the job team do? do they say we are not interested because you cannot influence an election. you russian people, we are not having that. from what we are told they had a meeting with someone acting as a go—between. it is their case they did not get
10:50 pm
any significant information from that meeting but i am not sure it will matter. here you have senior people from donald trump's team who it is said went to the meeting in expectation they would get information to help them win the election and influence their selection. i think there is deep trouble. whether it stretches to the president, i am trouble. whether it stretches to the president, lam not trouble. whether it stretches to the president, i am not sure, trouble. whether it stretches to the president, lam not sure, but certainly another piece of evidence against him. i don't know if you have put your money on the bookies. have not, but it is more of a bad smell with this fish, this rush of fish, concerning the troubled family. the front page of the daily telegraph says trump junior facing russian treason investigation. apparently, technically, you have to be at warfor
10:51 pm
apparently, technically, you have to be at war for it to be treason in america. last i looked, russia is not at war with america, not on the face of it, maybe there is a cyber war going face of it, maybe there is a cyber wargoing on, face of it, maybe there is a cyber war going on, but it is about collusion and the possibility we should not be axed setting information potentially to a rival in an election campaign, particularly from a foreign power. they shouldn't. a damning quote from trump junior pictures from they shouldn't. a damning quote from trumpjunior pictures from the inauguration. he got the e—mail saying he got the information and he said, i love it. spare a thought for the journalist on the new york times who tweeted poignantly, we have been chasing this for a year. the greatest spoiler of all time. as a journalist, i applaud and feel for him. it is a very warm family because donald trump said my son is
10:52 pm
a high—quality person and i applaud his transparency. what we would all say about our children. if you have a federal prosecutor like robert muller breathing down your neck at this stage you say very little, which is precisely why his tweets have stopped for the last, i don't know, few hours. this don't get comfortable. all rights. the express , comfortable. all rights. the express, the eu can whistle for its money. a tory backbencher supported by borisjohnson money. a tory backbencher supported by boris johnson and money. a tory backbencher supported by borisjohnson and the backbencher said the eu should go whistle if it wa nts a said the eu should go whistle if it wants a divorce bill that is huge. this £85 billion. typical performance from boris, to cheer the troops about brexit. the tory mp said tell them to go whistle and boris obliged. and he went further and said we'd do not have a plan for
10:53 pm
no deal. emily thornberry said have you privately got a plan, so if you are being kind to boris he is taking that literally and whether personally he has a plan, well no. we love it in the express because thatis we love it in the express because that is how we feel but probably compromise is going to have to be made and later david davis the brexit secretary was giving evidence. he is seen as the calm voice. allison, you love it at the express but you do not love it at the guardian! david davis probably did not love it much either because he is conducting the negotiations. probably had his head in his hands. he will go into the meeting and say, what boris said... you conduct your negotiations like this. insult the
10:54 pm
person you negotiate with as much as you can. there is the public side. and behind... it is high—stakes poker, negotiating tactics.|j and behind... it is high—stakes poker, negotiating tactics. i look at my cards and looked impassive, i do not chuck things at the person across the table. stay calm. it will be brilliant. you assume boris has a plan b, what if he is true to his word, taken at face value, on the express, you would be panicking? we are not panicking. downing street, david davis saying we plan for every contingency. a deal always gets done. on everything. you are comforted because boris said so? you heard it, a deal always gets done.
10:55 pm
comforted because boris said so? you heard it, a deal always gets donelj think they have contingencies. they didn't for the vote, with brexit. no rerunning of the eu referendum, please. johanna konta. tipping the star to knockout venus williams in the semifinal. that is a big mountain to climb but what a win. absolutely. centre court, when they close the roof and there are british players on, it is absolutely a brilliant atmosphere. worth a few games in itself to the player because they gets so much support. she benefited today and played extraordinarily well. i think the second time she has come back to being set down and that doesn't seem to worry her now. she showed such grit. i watched bits of it and the
