steve bannon has now returned to right—wing website breitbart news, which he ran before leaving tojoin the trump campaign a year ago. he has said that he intends to keep fighting on the president's behalf, but in an interview with the conservative magazine the weekly standard, he has said that the trump presidency that they fought for and won is now over. he is not a racist. i can tell you that. he is a good person. he actually gets a very unfair press in that regard. but we'll see what happens with mr bannon. by the time donald trump had made that less than ringing endorsement of his special adviser earlier this week the die was cast. steve bannon‘s clashes with more moderate forces in the west wing coupled with renewed accusations following the violence in charlottesville that he harboured white nationalist sympathies helped seal his fate. all of which leaves the president an increasingly lonely and isolated figure.

while steve bannon‘s departure is a victory for those who wanted to see an end to the more extreme elements in the west wing, whether it will lead to a better functioning white house remains to be seen. david willis, bbc news. now, with news of all the day's sport, here's jess creighton at the bbc sport centre. this weekend's premier league football matches are under way, with swansea hosting manchester united in the early kick—off. both teams have had chances at the liberty stadium, withjordan ayew hitting the crossbar for swansea in the first three minutes. not long after, manchester struck back, defender philjones rose to head this free kick against the woodwork. after 36 minutes the score is 0—0. champions celtic are also playing in the scottish premiership — they're playing at kilmarnock. celtic have conceded one goal in

more now on our top story — and the spanish government has announced that it will take steps to boost security at tourist resorts, following the van attack in barcelona, which killed 13 people. police are still searching for three men, alleged to have been involved in the attacks in barcelona and cambrils. at a news conference in the last hour, the spanish interior minister said the threat level would stay at one notch below the maximum, meaning that police will remain in charge of security on the streets, rather than the military. is is attending a special meeting to do with terrorism, which deals with all this spanish expert on the subject of terrorism, and those who bears no the risks and a threats to which we have been confronted. this

meeting... all the relevant forces we re meeting... all the relevant forces were present, the police, the civic guard, the national police, the centre against organised crime, the intelligence agency and the tom and is for police forces. it is of capital importance at the moment for oui’ capital importance at the moment for our citizens that these experts carry out evaluation of the consequences and short and medium—term and put on the table the different results of the analysis to do with this. this meeting of experts analysed in detail what has taken place, experts analysed in detail what has ta ken place, what experts analysed in detail what has taken place, what the consequences are far the spanish people with information that we have at present,

and we have also re—evaluated the level of maximum alert in relation to the terrorist threat and the experts unanimously propose, and they have followed their advice to maintain heightened risk of terrorist attempt number four out of five. thus reinforcing the actual level, the present level, with additional measures the headlines on bbc news: spanish police say they believe the driver of the van which ploughed into pedestrians in barcelona is still at large. an international manhunt is now underway for cheese but —— chief suspect younes abouyaaqoub. steve bannon has tried to fight the

president's opponents despite being fired from herjob at the white house. he was seen as the architect buster trump ‘s right—wing agenda. more now on the news that officials say more than 16 million people have been affected by severe flooding in parts of nepal, india and bangladesh. 500 people are thought to have been killed, with conditions are expected to deteriorate further over the weekend. the red cross and red crescent say it is becoming one of the worst regional humanitarian crises in years. our correspondent sanjoy majumder is in bangladesh. i am in the worst affected region as far as the floods are concerned. the reason for that is, this is where some of the rivers that flow from neighbouring india enter bangladesh, and the last few days, because of heavy rains on that side of the border, the levels of the rivers have been rising alarmingly. houses have been submerged, farmland, hundreds of thousands of people have been moved into temporary relief camps.

in this area alone, 3000 schools have been shut down either because they are under water or they're badly damaged. the focus of the government and the international relief agencies is to try and get supplies of food, water and medicine as quickly to these affected people as is possible. many people are complaining that supplies simply aren't getting through, and one of the reasons for that is that in much of this area, road and rail links have been affected, so the only way to get supplies across to them is by boat or from the air. the other big worry now is that even though this is the worst affected area, the focus is shifting to central bangladesh, where river levels are also rising. and the fear is, that is the place that could be affected next. the physicist professor stephen hawking has accused the health secretary, jeremy hunt, of "cherry—picking" evidence to support his policies. he has praised the nhs, but attacked the provision

of private health care in england. mr hunt has described the scientist's claims as wrong. here's our health correspondent, jane dreaper. he is one of the world's best—known scientists. professor stephen hawking was diagnosed with motoneuron disease at the age of 21. he turned 75 at the start of this year. a milestone celebrated at a scientific conference last month. # happy birthday to you...# a scientific conference last month. professor hawking says he wouldn't a scientific conference last month. be alive without the large amount of high—quality nhs treatment he has received. but he is concerned about the future of the health service in england, defending it as the most efficient and cost—effective system. in a speech which describes his medical history and how he sometimes had to challenge doctors, professor hawking said: quoting the use of private agency staff as an example. he also accusesjeremy hunt

of "cherry picking" research papers to support his case for changing weekend services. professor hawking says that while he wants more weekend services, he believes there has been no due diligence done in the case of the so—called seven—day nhs. the government says it makes no apology for being the first to tackle what it describes as "unacceptable variation in care" across the week. and ministers believe patients in england should be able to access the best treatments based on the quality of care, rather than who's providing them. with the average person taking on 11 jobs during their career, it seems the idea of a "job for life" is increasingly becoming a thing of the past. but with different employers come different pension pots — and that can make keeping track of your finances rather confusing. so — as moneybox presenter, louise cooper, has been finding out — the government is looking to simplify things. we have in front of us, your

pensions papers. 55-year-old john from newbury has had a job since you started work at the age of 20. he knows he has paid into a variety of pensions, but keeping hold of all the paperwork has been a problem.- i was reaching 55, i decided to review my pension situation, and it was then i realise i know very little about my pensions, except the fa ct little about my pensions, except the fact that i have one big pension when i worked in a company for quite a long period of time. the department for work and pensions estimate there is currently £400 million in an claim pension savings, and john worries he might be adding to the part. definitely, when i worked as a nurse, i don't know what happened to that pension, no idea. and later on when i worked in another company, i have no idea... i

have no paperwork, and it was over 20 years ago, so no paperwork for that at all. john is not alone. the government have recognised that this isa government have recognised that this is a big problem, so they have asked the association of british insurers to work with the industry to create an online dashboard, a place where people can log on and see their in one place. so this is a pensions dashboard? absolutely right. for this hypothetical test passing, we found eight pensions. they are all listed. you can see that this person has a state pension from the department for work and pensions, and you can get additional information if you want. we also find he has two final salary schemes, and he has anotherfive jobs, and yes five contribution pension schemes, and all of that

together. so it adds it all up? it says you have just over £4000 a month to look forward to. lucky had excellent esrd latte. he is doing just fine. this is the last than half of all pensions. ultimately, there is always a national, and people have other priorities. we just believe there has to be that clear signalfrom government. just believe there has to be that clear signal from government. this has to be done. if you don't do it, you will be breaking the law, and then we will actually have that sort of servers for people. there dashboard should be available in 2018, and it is a type of service that people likejohn will find invaluable when it comes to working out their income and environment. within the past half hour, president trump has given his first

reaction since the departure of his chief strategist, steve bannon, from the white house. in a tweet, the president said "i want to thank steve bannon for his service. he came to the campaign during my run against crooked hillary clinton — it was great! thanks". mr bannon was seen as the architect of mr trump's right wing agenda, but had come underfire recently for disagreeing with the president. he'll return to a role at the ultra—conservative website, breitbart news. chris roebuck is a visiting professor of transformational leadership at cass business school. he also has taking senior roles in various businesses. this is fascinating. is this a good move by president trump? well, you could say, as president trump a businessman? and many people would say that he isn't in the sense that rex tillerson as, and president trump has essentially run an empire

of fees down —— fivesome around property. it is not the same. describing your boss as someone on the same level as the leader of north korea is not subtle. it was expected that there would be a response, but also the problem is that no ban on is outside the tent. president trump loves to have teams that are competing, the problem is that are competing, the problem is that the team that president trump 110w that the team that president trump now has competing and not competing, they are actually trying to pull in different directions, and that is a fundamentally flawed leadership can't set —— concept. fundamentally flawed leadership can't set -- concept. the suggestion that the desert flight set up in the white house, you would agree? you just have to look at the evidence! i don't have to make a judgment on that, we can all see it. then reality, the problem is that president trump is working on a

leadership strategy that is fundamentally flawed. he is working ona fundamentally flawed. he is working on a principle of appealing to a small core base, both in terms of the white house and in terms of has voters, and not bringing consensus. the core principle about leadership being effective is if you can bring everybody together, then the output is going to be one that is much more productive than if you only pander toa productive than if you only pander to a small minority. the problem that president trump has is that he is effectively breaking all the rules of good leadership to advance himself, not realising, in the end, it is self—defeating. himself, not realising, in the end, it is self-defeating. so now when he thinks how he he is going to reject things, and we see how easy is haemorrhaging staff. what would be your advice? has he transformed things, or is he beyond advice? there are two matic is there. clearly, he has a ability to create

a team and a tramp, kelly. by president trump thinks that these things will be sexist will in a different situation. president trump boggle off the rails. —— robbie effective in a different situation. when he does go off the rails, tried to recover the damage as quickly as possible. also, try and keep competing interests under president trump at least vaguely going in the same direction. so that is you advertise. on the other hand, looking outside the white house, there is a corner of top voters who expect a certain message, but if he is going to get content is he needs to change that. how does he balance out? it is interesting. 6696 to change that. how does he balance out? it is interesting. 66% of those public and supporters that support president trump, effectively say

they will support him whatever he died. it is a cult of character, basically. exactly. what is going on the is that buy me ate at an emotional concept to a leader or person of what we want to achieve, it has the ability to push out of rational thinking. and i am not thing that all president trump autos and irrational, but the evidence as that if they say they will support him ina that if they say they will support him in a matter what, there is an emotional element there. president trump needs to make a decision. as he prepared to lose some of his base to get more people on site. and has based his career, has caught driver has never been one of consensus, but i must when all the time. hence, not apologising, hence getting rid of

steve bannon, hence, like humility. interestingly, all of those things, if you flip over, and the debt leaders who have been successful and the look at nelson mandela, you could say that president trump has not been successful. you think president trump is not enjoying his job any more? do you think he may say he has had enough?” job any more? do you think he may say he has had enough? i think, if has departure from washington to be really energised by hasbro is, clearly he is not enjoying all the aspect of it. but don't forget that tom has to be the winner. he will never surrender. tom has to be the winner. he will never surrender. the problem with thatis never surrender. the problem with that is that therefore he is going to stick it to whatever the consequences are for ham, has team, the country. very interesting stuff. hanky very much. another afternoon of dodging

shadows. they have been piling in from the west. the line share over the coming hours will remain across parts of wales, northern england, northern ireland and wales. some gusty westerly winds, will make it feel quite still. 2021 for eastern and south—eastern england with more sunshine and showers. the showers to lose energy to this evening and tonight. they will continue across parts of scotland and north—west. temperatures typically between ten and 15 celsius, but they could debt down in the countryside. it bhl is that. more cloud in the south—west of england to bringing an patchy rain. northern ireland and wales will cds in the afternoon. it doesn't get across to much of england and scotland in a day. spells sunshine, and in lighter ones, it should start to feel a little bit warmer. cooler by the
