bbc news. the prime minister has warned her cabinet she'll no longer tolerate public dissent over brexit following itscollective agreement to back her plan for britain's future relationship with the eu. at a marathon 12 hour meeting of the cabinet at chequers yesterday, theresa may told ministers it was their ‘duty‘ to agree a blueprint for brexit. the eu has said it will "assess proposals to see if they are workable and realistic." here's our political correspondentjessica parker. a grand setting to try and come up with a grand plan. yesterday theresa

may wine cabinet‘s approval. some leeds supporters will scorn it, cabinet brexiteers must sell it. the bit that has not been highlighted was that we would step up no deal planning. we do not want that, we do not want no deal. the deal they do wa nt not want no deal. the deal they do want has not been fully published by proposals include... harmonisation with eu rules with goods to allow frictional most trade but parliament would have oversight. free trade would have oversight. free trade would come to an end, mobility framework takes its place and there would be an independent trade policy for the uk. tory mps may be getting a brexit briefing from the chief work today but it is monday when they are due to meet direct with the prime minister. the likely demand, detail. but a backbench brexiteers feel deeply unhappy, the cabinet‘s approval of the plan asks the question who will the sceptics no

rally around. maybe this man? we need to know the details. like eggs, an egg that is softly boiled is not wild at all. a soft brexit means we have not left. that is not something the country voted for that is not what the prime minister promised. the country voted for that is not what the prime minister promisedm the heat the mood could cool. but crucially the eu would need to warm to the proposals as well. it is a fudge, it is trying to placate the conservative party. it will go into trouble with negotiations with eu european union. the hardliners will blame you for any mess that results. yesterday's marathon meeting did bring a look of unity and a plan. now will it stay the distance? this was a challenge for the prime

minister to keep all her cabinet aboard. i would not under a state how do triumphant theresa may may be feeling this morning having got her cabinet on board and she sent a letter to tory mps last night basically saying that there had been a certain allowance of cabinet members being allowed to have their own views in public but no collective responsibility was being restored. she is really trying to lay down the law, but yes she seems to have got cabinet on board but she now needs to persuade some of mps, some who are deeply sceptical and she has to persuade the european union as well. we spoke to a conservative mp and wriggle and he was saying that from his point of view it sounded that it was not what was promised. yes, i think a lot of mps are saying at the moment i need to see the detail. we have had three pages are meeting what these 120

pages are meeting what these 120 page document from what we understand. a lot of it will potentially be open to interpretation, there is a lot of jargon in europe. we hear about this alleged bid —— facilitated customs arrangements. that will sound too much like being in a customs union. 0thers much like being in a customs union. others will say that we are not in a customs union, we have an agreement. there is a lot to be unpicked. in terms of the negotiations, they are backin terms of the negotiations, they are back ina terms of the negotiations, they are back in a monday week? yes, there will be calls things to be stepped up. we heard the transport secretary saying they want to step up reputations for a no deal brexit. michel barnier, the chief negotiator for eu did tweet last night saying they would read the proposals seek as they are realistic. theresa may might take some reassurance that he has not treated, we know that the negotiation can be verbose on these

subjects, he has not dismissed these proposals out of hand. thank you very much. england is expected to come to standstill this afternoon as its footballers take on sweden for a place in the world cup semifinals. the match, which is being played in the russian city of samara, gets underway at three o'clock. the winner will face either russia or croatia. our sports correspondent natalie pirks reports. it is not perhaps the anthem you would expect to hear that buckingham palace. but even the army band are not immune to football fever. 0ther than down the country on fictional streets... and even on celebrity's doorsteps. it's coming home. come on england. fans are riding a wave of

cave in the hope that they can bring the boys out without having to use fills you big year. many of the boys cannot swim. this operation has a lwa ys cannot swim. this operation has always been a race against the clock by now timing is more critical than ever. they say they want to get the boys over for the health deteriorates and before the heavy rain that is for scat thumbs. this view is that more water will rush into the cave making conditions worse than they were to begin with. the only way out of the cave remains the way they came in but it is a dangerous passage. the tragic death ofa dangerous passage. the tragic death of a former thai navy seal delivering air tanks to the cave yesterday underlines how difficult this evacuation will be. translation: every five —— volume —— cave volunteer reaches the limit in cave three. it requires knowledge and skills of the cave diver. messages we re skills of the cave diver. messages were brought out by divers overnight. 0ne were brought out by divers overnight. one of them from the

swim. they have to get used to the equipment, if that is the favoured way out, they are best informed of how to use it. they are drilling around the hills here. it is mountainous terrain, it is difficult to find a flat piece of mind to start digging. the official in charge of the operation yesterday told us that they they were within 200 metres of the cab where the boys are. that is still 600 metres they have to dig down. —— have earned. it will take more time. if they will scuba diver, they want to give the boys were trying to be comfortable with that. if the water level starts rising again, they will try to get them out as quickly as possible. they think the weather is looking all right for the next few days. 0fficials all right for the next few days. officials have described this as a good window of opportunity. we might see some progress over the next few
