bbc news. a crotch has been taking place all day, the bbc understands that theresa may has presented a 120 page plan that would keep the uk's trade rule in line with those of the eu on goods. things like food and appliances but not on services like it or the financial sector. the proposal would end the free movement of people, one of the key issues for brexit supporters. with the ministers split on how best to move forward, the prime minister has said it's their duty to finally come to an agreement. our political editor reports. look close and closer.

those are the cabinets deciding their future and more those are the cabinets deciding theirfuture and more importantly, all of ours. the prime minister gesturing to boris johnson, all of ours. the prime minister gesturing to borisjohnson, what you think his body language is saying back? theresa may's allied desperate to get him and the other brexiteers on board. to deliver on the outcome of the referendum, and the united kingdom but it also offers a deep and enduring partnership on matters of trade with our european neighbours that's what they want if it was easy, theresa may would not have rushed to her retreat they have not yet pursued at the mall. they —— dinner some time ago. theresa may is

your third cabinet to try and get them to sign off on but she may call brexit with caveats and it would be an end with unlimited european immigration, but to protectjobs and a hard border in ireland, she would sign up legally, to much of the european rule book. for many of her colleagues, it might not be perfect, but if a vital step forward. but for some brexiteers, it is hardly leaving at all. so they are determined to push back hard. the animals here have been better behaved than the political creatures in the tory party. the prime minister has been stuck between sparring eurosceptics and former remainders. what she has to do, is listened to the 17.4 million people who turned out two years ago to vote for the united kingdom to leave the european union. everyone, on both

sides of the argument, needs to stop fighting about the referendum. the seems a touch more ready to listen. the uk has started to engage with us for peace. it is welcomed and i look forward to further clarity from the uk. but is still if and not win cabinet ministers can agree today, the decision to find common cause or clash. and that will shape if this government is one that will stay the course, 01’ government is one that will stay the course, or simply be passing through. our chief political correspondent is following those they had had the funds taken away, but no one is locked out. and if they are going to be suggested timetable, they have seen the different aspects

of what they might do, and have completed the part of a talk about their position and what is going to be, and discussing the no deal planning. in that area. so things have gone according to plan, they should've reached agreement by now. there was some in the cabinet who are very unhappy with the proposal is being put to them, because they just feel that it is not proper brexit. it is not totally having a clean break is still very much aligned with the rules and regulations of the eu, and a few other that would hamper the the eu, and a few other that would hamperthe uk in the eu, and a few other that would hamper the uk in the future, that would not take advantage of the other countries, so the question is how much those brexiteers are willing to push back, not may well be going back on this weekend, watch a bit of football, speak to their constituents and spend time with family, and got to assess on back benches, but there are still many

people saying that it is time for compromise and pragmatic approaches. because time is running out and they've been arguing amongst themselves for a very long time in it does feel that this is the moment that they can't agree now, what is going to change, to mean that they cana time going to change, to mean that they can a time of the future? this is as you say, and the duty is interesting, isn't it? it is our duty, she would argue to get something sorted out here. because the promised god is brussels saying, come on, shows that you got. shows what you want. we need clarity, we need businesses, and then past few weeks, speaking out about the way they have been put off long—term investment. our body to jeopardise britishjobs. so the pressure is really on and theresa may could look at it and say, look, i was not on the brexit said the argument, but we're going to honour that we're going to leave the customs union, we're not to be under that. we are

leaving in delivering on that. reporting from that, we'll find out more on that story on tomorrow's front pages, that's at 1045 this evening in the papers and the guest joining me tonight are for the daily mirror, and the brexit editorfor the telegraph. investigators wearing protective suits as they search for the item contaminated with the nerve agent that poison the couple. they we re agent that poison the couple. they were exposed to nerve shock after handling the unknown object. the pair remained in a critical condition in hospital. these sites have been sealed off and this afternoon the decontamination process began. 18 and special protective suits arrived at the hospital, where he had been living in salisbury. these suits are

resista nt to in salisbury. these suits are resistant to nerve agent. in amesbury, emergency vehicles removed and unmasked to the state where he lived. ahead of the decontamination operation here, residents saw seems like this and other parts of the four months ago. this time last week, she was out shopping at a local convenience store. within 24 hours, she was the first to collapse. now she and charlie remained in critical condition as doctors are once again fighting to save the victims. using the couples movements, death. the number of sites. in salisbury, there believed to have visited a queen elizabeth gardens. in amesbury, and a local church. as well as charlie's house. it is not known where they came across an handle of the abandoned

nerve agent. and there is still u na nswered nerve agent. and there is still unanswered questions about nerve agent and its properties. we previously thought that even in a container, it will remain highly toxic for name the four to six months, outside a container it could be less. we want answers for this, they obviously know all the details, they obviously know all the details, they made the stop. all the community that the poison episode was over. meanwhile, the family of the couple that collapsed here have to endure the torment of the weight for the news. earlier i spoke with oui’ for the news. earlier i spoke with our correspondent who has been watching the operation at the hospital where one of the victims was staying. behind those metal barriers we have seen forensics officer is and people in suits and gas masks going inside the building, 110w gas masks going inside the building, now what they are searching for is any trace of nerve shock some ibm

there. officials are pretty confident that they were poisoned when, so what they're searching for is that object is it going to be a big investigation and a big operation? we are told this point that they have not even taken any objects are testing so could be weeks or months before people can salisbury house were rightly quite anxious get any answers. now you heard as well but queen elizabeth which is this huge part in salisbury, that's been cordoned off, a huge area throbs as the search, use are really to that they've sent offa use are really to that they've sent off a drone to look for any objects not park. speaking to people in salisbury, they are very, very anxious. they were told after sergei we re anxious. they were told after sergei were poisoned that there was no risk to the great public, notjust a few

months on, they are in the hospital after being poisoned by a deadly nerve agent. businesses, they suffered after the first attack and they were starting to get back on their feet and preparation for a busy summer, the weather has been lovely here, they're hoping to get people into the town and the tourist attractions, and again in salisbury is in the headlines for the wrong reasons. it is associated with nerve shocks, which anyone would not want. reporting just a couple of new lines, because the metropolitan issued a statement basically summing up issued a statement basically summing upa lot issued a statement basically summing up a lot of what you do seen, but a couple of new lines, there's no evidence they're saying that the man and woman visited any of the sites that were decontaminated following the attempted murders in march this year. they say they are not in a position to say whether the nerve agent was from the same batch that

they were exposed to, and one other line dolls mentioned, the possibility that the two investigation was linked, clearly, a key line of inquiry, with the assista nt key line of inquiry, with the assistant commissioner has been stressing that the importance of the investigation of the information available and the fax loan. —— facts alone. now a diver in thailand has died taking supplies to the 12 boys and the football coach the been stuck in a cave. the former navy diver had been delivering oxygen to the group and ran out of air on the way back. there limited time to carry out the rescue, as reports. this is what it takes just to keep the trap boys alive. this is the easy part. the last part of the route ta kes easy part. the last part of the

route takes six hours and six heavy airtanks for route takes six hours and six heavy air tanks for each diver to get there and back. it was while returning from laying down to those extra ta n ks returning from laying down to those extra tanks at the 38—year—old former navy diver became unconscious and died. this is him just a week ago as he boarded the plane to come here and help. today, he was flown back to his hometown to a hero's funeral. his commander promised that the difficult mission would continue in that time was running out. we had thought that children could survive there from a long time but everything has changed. we have quite limited time. the death of this diver has brought home just how difficult it will be to try and pull beast 12 weekend boys and their coach, which one diver described as being ina

coach, which one diver described as being in a dark water tavern in being in a dark water tavern in being battered by water. but the agonising truth is that leaving them where they are for the rainy season, that they melt cut off their supply line and be much riskier. they're still scanning the jungle slopes for possible cracks in the rock that might lead to the case. they are bringing in drills to drain the water and now to try and make a new exit. more ominously, they brought in five km of hiking, to try and get more oxygen into the depleted air of the cave. the impending rainy season threatens to complicate this rescue with a great deal more water. earlier i spoke to our correspondent at the scene about what options are being considered to rescue the boys. he's just been explaining what has

actually been going on over the past couple of days, he has made clear that an airline has been successfully put through the cave, to where the boys are stuck. he says that's been successful in improving the oxygen level there, which was a concern this morning that the level had gotten to 15% whereas the normal air you would breathe is 21% oxygen. so the number of people who are trying to keep the boys supplied in healthy was actually draining the oxygen level, but now they have the air piped in and can bring fresh air and and then improve the situation. he is also spoken about the different options for rescuing them now, it is on the line for that former navy diver, there are complications even with experienced divers actually making the journey through this cave, threw the flooded parts of the cave. so one option

that was being talked about was drilling down instead to try to get the boys and lift them out. this is really mountainous terrain and cover didn't really pick jungle vegetation, so it's very difficult to find the right point even started, and then it's a long way down, but the governor here is that the drilled more 100 boreholes of the drilled more 100 boreholes of the past few days in 18 of those can be described as promising, they dug as far as be described as promising, they dug as faras faras be described as promising, they dug as far as far as 400 metres and that is help them work out the right angle that they need to dig down to reach the point where the boys are, but they said they also need to work out to 600 metres, so that made some progress on that but it was either going to do a lot more digging in the art to reach the point where the boys are and that is just about the threat of the rain that is forecast year and that, if that heavy rain does come in the next few days, the possibility of the water levels rising, if that happens there is an emergency plan to get the boys out as soon as possible, probably using

scuba diving accredited and that had —— equipment, and scuba diving technique and some of the met had learned to swim, they do not feel confident enough that a made enough progress to bring to out now by that method, considering the risk cells outlined last night, but i was clearly a back—up plan. chlorine gas was used on the city, on the organisation of the prohibition of chemical weapons said that various organic chemicals have been found. dozens of civilians were killed in the attack, near to damascus, and following the attack, the warplanes launched shipwrecks against the government military targets, the government denies using chemical weapons. temper the headlines now here on the bbc news.

uruguay‘s main threat came from set pieces, but they found an inspired you go in their way. french didn't really hit top gear, but he didn't need to. stop by the goalkeeper! he has played for your the world way over 100 times, but unfortunately this is what he's most likely to be remembered for. both sides could hardly believe their luck. a cruel end to uruguay‘s tournament. a team looking hard to stop. big names of tumbled, at wimbledon today. the number nine, the five—time champion venus williams was knocked out by kiki and three grueling sets in three hours. this took, the battle back to square the match going to lose eight —— six.

trade war between the world's two biggest economies now appears to be under way. american tariffs on billions of dollars worth of chinese imports have come into force. china is retaliating, and has accused president trump of starting the biggest trade war in history. jon stewart reports from beijing. here is just stewart reports from beijing. here isjust one of stewart reports from beijing. here is just one of the products on the us tariffs list. 12,000 of these chinese build machines have been shipped to america this year, a trade that is about to be flattened. an extra 25% tax of cost affects us very much. it will reduce our potential profits. is cf moto stealing american jobs? if we take a look at our factory, you realise we

have gotten where we are on our own strength, and by respecting international rules. but such individual protest are now in pain. china's incredible economic success donald trump argues has been built on bending the rules. in particular, the large—scale theft of us intellectual property. tariffs he hopes will force china to change its behaviour. china holds its matching ta riffs behaviour. china holds its matching tariffs on us imports will force america to back off. if it is not yet a fully fledged trade war, then it is the beginning of one. mr trump is threatening a massive escalation, moving beyond the relatively obscure products on the current list to almost everything china produces. for decades, successive us presidents have whatever the difficulties and differences, seen trade with china as a good thing. not anymore. donald trump is doing

precisely what he said he would on the campaign trail, taking the fight to the factories like this one where falling orders may very quickly translate into lost jobs. falling orders may very quickly translate into lostjobs. the world's two largest economies are careering into the unknown. there is little sign of meaningful dialogue, and no one seems ready to put on the brakes. john budworth, bbc beijing. when 12—year—old billy caldwell had his medicinal cannabis oil complex located at heathrow airport it led mps to call for a change in drugs laws. the home office is reviewing the use of medicinal cannabis and looking at individual cases. radio 1's dan connolly has been to meet one man who says he would benefit from the drug being prescribed. one man who says he would benefit from the drug being prescribedlj from the drug being prescribed.” have had crippling pain, unable to work at times. alex was diagnosed

postcard perfect coastline presented an irresistible investment opportunity to the billionaire who became president. four years ago he bought this resort when it was facing financial failure. it has been turned into the trump international golf links and hotel and attracted thousands of visitors here to the village of doing back. we spent a lot of money on making it perfect out. button at -- now the company was to spend more money on its resort. it says the golf course and the whole area needs to be protected from the wild waves of the atla ntic protected from the wild waves of the atlantic ocean. the sea sets the scene, but local people say it is eating away at the landscape. what happens is the sequence and on a strong wind and takes away the sand it creates... they believe that the barrier not build storm surges could sweep onshore, that would be disastrous not only for the golf course, but also for those who live nearby. lin everyone with any

properties, houses, when we are on our own. we are about to be washed away and we had someone to protect us and we don't care. of the idea that we are backing him. don't care who it is, we will back them. there is nobody who will stay and keep that open if they cannot protect us. and if you want to walk away, if he we re and if you want to walk away, if he were to walk away from that business tomorrow morning i cannot see anybody and you are coming and buying it. nobody. so campaigners fear that the scores of dogs of the resort could be at risk if the erosion continues. but some environmentalists say it is ironic that the original planning application preferred to the effects of global warning, given the us president's skepticism about climate change. several groups are appealing —— several groups are appealing against the decision to give permission for the trump firm's proposal. the irish national trust among them. dunes move every so often during the winter a storm will come in and take part of a sand dune away. then and ask him or it comes

back again, the summer after that. soap to protect the doing the best and easiest thing is to do nothing. so, will this wall stop coastal erosion? we believe there is no need to do it. that the best way of protecting the area is actually the doing itself. the resort says it is hopeful it will be able to go ahead with the work as soon as possible. it isa with the work as soon as possible. it is a different sort of trump wall, but the story is still making waves. more now 011 wall, but the story is still making waves. more now on tomorrow's world cup showdown between england and sweden. swedish fans have been gathering in samarra ahead of that world cup quarterfinal, many of them feeling optimistic that they can win. a little earlier my colleague ben brown spoke to the swedish ambassador to the uk, and asked him how he was feeling ahead of the big game. is going to be an exciting match. obviously for us playing against england is always a big thing in now it is a quarterfinal in the world cup. so, people are very

excited about it. i understand people are excited here as well so it will be a good thing. sweden have a great track record against england. i think you have only lost once in the last eight meetings.” saw that statistic. i think we see ourselves as still the underdog and that england is still the favourite in this and it suits best to have it that way. sweden is a team without great respect, not many superstars or household names. you had a ibrahimovic but here —— retired from international football. what do you think are strengths of the team because i've heard a lot of analysts say, in fact the coach has said the tea m say, in fact the coach has said the team is easy to analyse, but difficult to beat. i think it is the collective, the togetherness of the team and discipline the team has showing the key to the success. perhaps also the fact that they have been playing without real pressure, perhaps a bit similar to the england
