it this is a minority governmentm ta kes a this is a minority governmentm takes a few tory rebels for them to lose the vote. they wanted tonight bya lose the vote. they wanted tonight by a majority of 16, but it underlines the drama. also, the incredible strife that this is causing. dominic grieve today gave a very impassioned speech today about the abuse that is coming from both sides. death threats are now totally routine, , sides. death threats are now totally routine,, some are even nervous about speaking up about the subject because it is arousing such visceral passions. the rockers he is good that people get engaged, but sometimes people can go too far. that people get engaged, but sometimes people can go too fanm is very sometimes people can go too fanm is very venomous, sometimes people can go too fanm is very venomous, ijust come from the lords, and there were some statements about this appointment. but i think the cause of theresa may at this first blades —— blitz has resolved itself. i'm very proud to ta ke resolved itself. i'm very proud to take part in the house of lords, we work so hard, i think we get back to the comments in 230 minutes. what about those mps we heard of, in
10:46 pm
particular some who are a bit uncharitable in what they had to say about the house of lords? they said you've been overstepping the mark, you've been overstepping the mark, you should have given way much sooner? i disagree, because we aren't saying we are to have power, we are doing what's in the constitution, holding the government to account. it's uncomfortable, people don't like it, but if your passion is about something, i didn't understand some of the language myself, but there were some speeches where i got it. that's what democracy is all about, having that option to have your voice heard. we have many divisions, and we go back to the government and the commons to sort this out. tonight we saw a lot of mps come back into the lords when the bill was handed back. so it's a bit different, but it's him —— the amount of time was spent there, for me. that's not in here, it's not what's not gone on and house of lords. what you think... what do you
10:47 pm
think about the prospect of this now being able to smooth over? our political correspondent at the beginning said the bill has become an act of parliament, but said this was the easy bit. yes, this is the beginning of the beginning, it's not even the end of the beginning. dominc grieve said today the massive thing to come up his trade and customs, and those will be absolutely seismic. the ructions in the lords and commons are going to be massive, people are so passionate about this. we were saying earlier, families have fallen out, it's like trump in america. people are so engaged with this that it's causing a lot of conflict. and it's only starting now, it will get much worse, i'm afraid. this is step one. take a deep breath, everybody! i feel quite theresa may is the focus on their
10:48 pm
front page. james, this is interesting, it's about our future military posture. given there is a big nato summit coming up, it's thought that donald trump might be in the mood for a bit of a bust up? when is he not? foster is a good word, because i would use that for kevin williamson, someone people had not heard of until quite recently when it's alleged he was asked as chief whip who should be defence secretary, and he allegedly said he should be. like when george w bush asked dick cheney who should be vice president, and he said he should be. williamson seems to me to be making a very unsubtle bid for power himself. all that nonsense he said the russia, for them to shut up and go away, it's the best moment i've
10:49 pm
ever seen from richard made it on tv. he cut them off on good morning britain. he said he has gotten more praise for that than anything he's donein praise for that than anything he's done ina praise for that than anything he's done in a 30 years. he was frustrated because kevin williamson wasn't giving an answer. anyway, to get back to the actual story, williamson is pushing for a greater increase in the mod's budget. theresa may and philip hammond have said waita theresa may and philip hammond have said wait a minute, the nature of wa rfa re said wait a minute, the nature of warfare has changed, and the chief of staff is now saying that the biggest threat is the cyber threat, particularly from russia, and we should be pouring more money into that, not conventional... there's a problem here, because five years ago, within recent years we were talking about changing our defence strategy to fund the development of home—grown terrorism. now we're saying it's cyber terrorism. 15—20
10:50 pm
yea rs saying it's cyber terrorism. 15—20 years ago, we nearly 30 years ago, the class of the soviet union changed everything, but now we're seeing a cold may be starting. williamson is stuck in this very difficult position, being asked to predict and cover for every candidate she. i would say i agree, be careful what you wish for, because if you put yourself forward, there you go! that's all i have to say. suggestions at the top of a hat. he does have ingredients of leadership in a power struggle, but cyber is a huge problem on different levels. we have to invest in the criteria, and cyber is a huge problem globally. so i think she has a point, but it's a showdown. i'm wondering if you might suggest that he could train up... an army of
10:51 pm
ta ra ntulas he could train up... an army of tarantulas deployed. it would certainly be cheaper than ballistic missiles. their ego. the meeting of violence... let's move up to the man we've mentioned already, donald trump. what you make of this? is the mecca of these are straighter pictures. he has the same pose for everything, he just trots along. families in america, it's very volatile, but this is about children. you have this thing about putting animals in cages, why would you put children who have no idea where they are, theyjust want their parents. i think it is absolutely shambolic in the stand aged to do that. that does not resolve the issues that go around, we put them ina cage. issues that go around, we put them
10:52 pm
in a cage. i think it's wonderful news to hear he's given him, but it's taken a lot of people to do that. he did in his own characteristic trump style. he was responsible for this, and then said it was a terrible thing and fix it. his own family were vehemently against it, his wife and daughter. you're absolutely right, it is rightly aroused a storm of protest. i saw that footage of the american news anchor breaking down in tears. i'm not saying journalists to become party free, but i understand her human reaction to hear stories... the audio of these children crying for their parents when they're locked in a cage, three years old. some of these families are turned into the country legally, but it's as the showcase of the sins of the
10:53 pm
fathers and mothers... a lot of them are asylum—seekers fleeing from drugs. they should not be subjected to this barbaric form of deterrence. it's right that he's rejected it, but terrible that he did in the first place. let's move onto the guardian, because you are the victims commissioner, you would have particular professional and personal interest in this terrible story. everyone has an interest, just looking at the photographs. for me, i thought that when we are covering this, for 20 years these families have fought and fought. there are lots of people in this report that knew about it. this will be passed to the cps, and jeremy hunt said we will get the police force on it. but the length of time it has gone, we saw was from hillsboro, the family suffered... these complaints are
10:54 pm
from 25—27 years ago. suffered... these complaints are from 25-27 years ago. as the bishop said in his forward, we put our faith in these establishments, our loved ones who are poorly, but these people were dying, they went in with simple things and lost their lives. we can bring them back, so i would like a quick action. i want a process to be correct, but at the same time, how do we ever recover from something like this? we have got to help these families, and that's what i would like to do once this goes through. we will talk more about your role at 11:30pm. james, what's your immediate impression of the story? eyewash that excellent bbc drama about the alleged cover—up surrounding jeremy thorpe's activity, and i thought thank god that times have changed. the 70s establishment did the most amazing cover—up to hide the multitude of sins he committed. but this smells like that, the way in which agencies
10:55 pm
close ra n ks like that, the way in which agencies close ranks and covered up for lots and lots of terrible mistakes. a nurse first blew the whistle in 1991, and 450 nurse first blew the whistle in 1991, and a50 people at least have died through a disregard for human life. that is shocking, and people must be held accountable for that. very powerful pictures on the front of the guardian. let's finally end on something a little more quirky from the back page of the guardians sports pages. a nice picture of iran — spain match, but at the bottom is poor old dear sf gate.|j — spain match, but at the bottom is poor old dear sf gate. i have my fit that, i've been saying, i'll take it off. never the heels. you don't run in your heels, do you? don't be silly! global steps now, the whole point is he is now sharing with dele
10:56 pm
alli. it is a family day, day off what is you want to do? unfortunately his shoulder had other things to do, so my fit that is off tomorrow. you will be doing anything dangerous? no, no. we can't have you injured. unsurprised to hear that i that fitness training is very dangerous, that's why i've never done it. i'm very pleased with dear sf gate's position, he made a joke about it, like the doctor asking them not to do any fist pumping celebrations. he said that he was just a big gutted because he was on his record for 10k. he made a joke there, and he set a really good tone and the camp, and he has this family atmosphere, all a very young squad, but they seem to be on his side, and that's helping the way they play.|j really like out — — that's helping the way they play.|j really like out —— helen southgate. we like you both so much, we want you to come back safely in a5
10:57 pm
minutes. no running! iwill not you to come back safely in a5 minutes. no running! i will not run myself. i will be back with the news at the top of the hour. that's it for the papers this hour. you'll both be back at 11:30pm. if you've been out there this evening, i'm sure some of you are already feeling a change compared to this time of last year. we saw temperatures drop below 70 degrees in parts of yorkshire. the same areas coming down to around 7 degrees. it's been pushing southwards throughout the day, sweeping off the humid air of the next hour or two from the southeast corner. temperatures will start to drop here, we will eventually feel fresher later on tonight. but for most of the neck, he will be clear skies, a few showers across scotland, most of those will be out
10:58 pm
of the north sea by the morning, but not all. temperatures in the southeast will be down to the single it -- southeast will be down to the single it —— single digits to start the day. a fresher morning commute for many, and the summer solstice, were you can see up to 19 hours of sunshine, had not been one of the cloudier areas. quiet breeze, few showers in the north and east of scotland. just about the rest of the country staying dry, long and sunny spells in the morning and evening. the breeze will make it feel a little cooler than recent days, certainly coming in from a northwesterly direction. the vast majority only just squeaking northwesterly direction. the vast majority onlyjust squeaking above 20 celsius towards the southeast corner, representing a big change on recent days. it's the highest on thursday, so you will feel the benefit from that regardless. when we lose that sunshine, it turns cool into the nights with northwest wind slowly easing down, temperatures dropping down widely to the single
10:59 pm
digits. but friday will be blue skies to start the data of the most discussed majority. one or two showers towards shetland, but the shelves temperatures creeping a couple of degrees. from there, the high pressure building up is here to stay for a while. this weekend, centred over us, simmering as far north of scotland, bringing dry and light winds, and temperatures will start to rise. if you have any outdoor plants as we can, it is looking fine. if you extend the weekend and next week, most places will be dried with temperatures on the rise, some places to get above 30 degrees. this is bbc news.
11:00 pm
a report finds more than a50 patients died after being given powerful painkillers inappropriately at gosport war memorial hospital. these horrifying, shameful, criminal actions need to be disclosed in the criminal court for a jury to decide and only then can we put our loved ones to rest. president trump has signed an executive order to change his immigration policy — designed to prevent children being separated from their parents at the mexican border. we are going to keep families together. i didn't like the site or the feeling of families being separated. the eu withdrawal bill can now become law, after the house of lords accepted the house of commons' decision not to give parliament the power to reject the final brexit deal.
