it began with him warning a post—brexit trade deal could be off the table. but he then said a deal will absolutely be possible, and revealed he'd shared his own strategy with the pm. i gave her a suggestion, not advice. i wouldn't want to give her advice. i gave her a suggestion. i can fully understand why she thought it was a little bit tough. and, today, we found out what that suggestion was. he told me i should sue the eu! sue the eu?! sue the eu! not go into negotiations, sue them, actually... no, you know, we're going into negotiations with them. the pm is getting advice at home, too. some believe we should stay close to the eu. others, that we need a clean break. and ahead of key votes in parliament this week, she had this warning. some people are saying that they want to vote in the trade bill to keep us in the customs union. i say, that's not acceptable, that's not what the british people voted for.

others are saying, well, perhaps we cannot have the bill at all. that would be damaging to our no deal preparations. so, let'sjust keep our eyes on the prize here. the prize is delivering leaving the european union in a way that is in our national interest. at chequers, the prime minister's country retreat, the idea was to reach a plan the government could rally around. but it's left some conservatives very unhappy. they don't want to kill key brexit legislation this week, but... the government unfortunately believes that brexit is not a good thing in itself. it seems to think it has to be tempered with non—brexit. brexit is enormously positive, a huge opportunity for the country, and i'm afraid the prime minister doesn't see that, and it's why i think she is a remainer who has remained a remainer. labour is warning it may not support the plan. the bottom line is, brexit‘s in a complete mess. and here we are just months away, weeks away, from trying to get some sort of deal, and it doesn't seem to be coalescing around

anything whatsoever of any significance. the uk's brexit plan has often been hazy, at best. but as it becomes clearer, many questions remain. nick eardley, bbc news. a government minister has resigned for sending sexual texts to two female constituents. it's reported that andrew griffiths —— who was minister for small businesses — sent more than two—thousand messages to the women. the married father of one has he is deeply ashamed and is seeking professional help. president trump heads to helsinki later today where he's due to meet the russian president vladimir putin on monday. mr trump spent a second night at his turnberry resort in ayrshire, and has been out out on the golf course. but today — unlike yesterday — there are no protests. i last james cook what we can expect. consternation, confusion and chaos from president trump's visit both to

brussels and the united kingdom are truly for the white house that was toa truly for the white house that was to a certain extent the warm up act before the main event, this meeting with the russian leader. the questions that are being asked in the united states are how tough world mrgrumpy on the united states are how tough world mr grumpy on mr putin? particularly because we have seen more russians indicted in connection with alleged meddling in the us presidential election. the president himself is given an interview to cbs news in which you trying to lower expectations for this trip, for the summit, trying to play down what you might be able to achieve. of course, for the united kingdom is one of the key questions as the nerve agent poisoning in wiltshire which has been blamed on russia. will he raise that? indeed, mr trump been blamed on russia. will he raise that? indeed, mrtrump in been blamed on russia. will he raise that? indeed, mr trump in the interview was also asked whether he could raise the possibility of asking for the russians to be sent, extradited to the united states. he said that hadn't even occurred to them that worry some people. one of the biggest car—buying groups

in britain says more than half of its vehicles will be electric by 2025. the british vehicle rental and leasing association wants to increase its fleet of electric cars to three—quarters of a million, as our business correspondentjoe lynam reports. one of the biggest buyer says it is switching to lower a zero emissions vehicles within seven years. the british vehicle leasing association is responsible for one of every five bands as well as one in every eight ca i’s bands as well as one in every eight cars on our bands as well as one in every eight cars on oui’ roads bands as well as one in every eight cars on our roads and its members have pledged to turn most of their fleets into plug—in vehicles by 2025. a 15 fold increase in only seven 2025. a 15 fold increase in only seve n years 2025. a 15 fold increase in only seven years from 50 to 720,000 vehicles. but it still needs government action. this isjust not about business investing, it's not the government having these businesses

to invest. we need support for infrastructure for electric vehicles and need support in terms of tax regime. the government says it's its road to zero strategy would help ensure the uk remained a world leaderfor investment in the uptake of zero emission technologies. at the moment there are just under 200,000 plug—in vehicles on uk roads. but as the taxes and charges mount and diesel vehicles a number of thug in cars is going to multiply rapidly in the coming years. the troubled train operator govia thameslink is introducing its third major timetable change in two months. passengers on the company's lines — which include thameslink and great northern — have suffered severe disruption after an overhaul of the schedule in may. a british teenager who fell 70ft from a balcony in magaluf has died. thomas channon, who was 18 and from rhoose near barry in glamorgan, is the third holidaymaker from the uk to die at the eden roc apartment complex this year. he was celebrating the end of his a—levels at the spanish party resort. the foreign office are supporting the family. a 28—year—old man has died

building here in paris in front of the eiffel tower where the fans zone is stretching out thunder and people are beginning to arrive by their thousands. we went down at the entrance of the boulevard of this area and there are hundreds and thousands of people waiting in a veryjubilant thousands of people waiting in a very jubilant mood, letting thousands of people waiting in a veryjubilant mood, letting off firecrackers, waving flags and so on. there are beginning to filter into this area where the match will begin. looking back over the preparations for this final one house to say that the country has taken its time coming behind this team. the qualifying period, the tea m team. the qualifying period, the team disappointed a bit in the group stages. they were backed. since that amazing match against argentina everything is changed and really you can feel the country swinging behind the team. this young team, so many players from the immigrant stock. you really feel the country uniting

behind the mad with every victory leading up to today that excitement has grown. and one player's chance to become only the third man in history to both play on and train a winning side if they win. if they winning side if they win. if they win the celebrations here in france are going to be absolutely enormous. across the country. residents of a village in greenland have left their homes after an iceberg, weighing 11 million tonnes, drifted inland prompting fears of a tsunami. local officials warned the iceberg could split in two, forcing a huge wave onshore. 260 billion tonnes of greenland's ice is lost to the ocean each year. theresa may made an appeal to her

backbenchers to support her in key votes tomorrow and tuesday. our correspondent is in our newsroom now. possibly the most damning criticism of all made by brexiteer this lunchtime. jacob rees mogg who leads the european research group, by far the most influential group of backbenchers at the moment. basically saying that theresa may's into the —— reveals she is still remain at heart. the brexiteers and theresa may's party are very unhappy with what is on the table and very unhappy with the way the prime minister is pursuing it. what was clear about that jacob rees mogg to be was two things. firstly, that they don't appear to want to bring down the legislation that will be voted on on monday and tuesday. that's the most imminent threat to the prime minister face. imminent threat to the prime ministerface. he was imminent threat to the prime minister face. he was suggesting that actually would need that

legislation on the statute book to see through brexit. it also second the saying, we are highly critical of what is going on here. we are highly unhappy with the direction the government is taking and not going away. that line that the prime minister remains a remainder was essentially negotiating with that view in mind is one that i think will be highly damaging for the prime minister in the sense that the true brexiteers if you like, those who fought for it all along i believe passionately in it, who have campaigned for years are clearly not persuaded that the prime minister is on their side. the approach she seemed to be adopting, channelling her inner margret thatcher. there is no alternative. and it seemed to be that she's saying the brexiteers, what we call the hardline brexiteers, people who are single got to break free of the european union and minimise the dependence on

this common rule book, she phrases it. those people she says have not offered an alternative or she thinks is workable so this is her best or the least worst option. if i can put about that. she's going to be some awkward moments, isn't she? not these possible statement of speech by david davies setting out why he resigned. yes, absolutely. look, the prime minister was urged before checkers by some of her allies in the cabinet to face down her brexit critics. that is essentially what she has done. because downing street firmly believe there is only one workable plan on the table. the eu came up with suggestions, the uk rejected them. it went back and said he was a plan, this will work. the prime minister has made it clear it is not the start of the negotiation as far as she's concerned. this is a plan that will work in its entirety. as

you say, that does not cut the mustard with lot of people. she was lost to cabinet ministers. she has a decent chunk of our party extremely unhappy. she's going to infuse the is going to take the advice of those cabinet allies were talking about she's going to have to continue to face them down because not everybody is happy. donald trump has provided a certain amount of enlightenment, disputation, entertainment in the course of his visit to the uk. and caused her some awkward moments. but that advice to sue the eu at least here for a bit of light relief in here for a bit of light relief in her interview today. did you get the impression that she is determined to come out fighting on this? yes. firstly, i don't think she's going to sue the eu. think she was quite clear that was not the part that she would be pursuing. but, yes, look, the prime minster doesn't really have a choice. other than to come out fighting. she has made it clear this is our plan. she has picked a

side. she is sticking with it. she has nailed her colours to the mast and she needs to, she needs to stick with it. that won't mean that there is not a lot of criticism, domestically. shall get that criticism, as we have been discussing, from her own party, from opposition parties, too. clearly, labour are not opposition parties, too. clearly, labourare not in opposition parties, too. clearly, labour are not in a position where they think this deal goes far enough yet. the snp certainly our rent. it is worth remembering that we have not heard in a substantive way back from the european union on this deal oi’ from the european union on this deal or this proposal either yet. there will be more talks in brussels this week and we expect the new brexit minister to meet its european counterpart and maybe then we will get more of an idea about whether this is something the eu will entertain. whether they will entertain. whether they will entertain some of the ideas theresa may has come of it. if it is not the case could be a gloomy problematic for the prime minister foot of the second two years to get to a position where she has this white

paper. it was published on thursday she has this proposal that the remainder of her cabinet seem to be supportive of. but whether or not it manages to get past the many hurdles it will have two negotiate remains to be seen. the non—binding road. thank you. the prime minister has revealed that us president donald trump advised her to ‘sue the eu' in order to achieve brexit. the us president, donald trump, will leave scotland later today and fly to helsinki for a summit with the russian president vladimir putin. the ministerfor small business — and theresa may's former chief of staff — andrew griffiths, resigns from the government after sending texts of a sexual nature to two female constituents. wimbledon, world cup and the tour de france.

here is ben. as big as it gets for you this afternoon. a big couple of hours coming up in the sporting world. we will start at wimbledon. 3—person panel survey. it is novak djokovic against kevin anderson in the men's singles final. players ta ke to the men's singles final. players take to court in under an hour by john watson is already the build—up and john, both had to slog their way to get this far. yes, they have indeed. two titanic battles in both those men's semifinals. novak djokovic needing a full five hours against rafael down. that much travelled over two days, of course. but novak djokovic and what is a fifth wimbledon final for him. we we re fifth wimbledon final for him. we were not expecting to see him at the stage of the tournament, he was actually won a title in over a year following problems with form and fitness. but the way he came through against rafael nadal prep showing signs in the championships of the type of form that he considers to be wimbledon titles and of course those 12 grand slam titles that he has two

his name. if anyone is going to be feeling tired, though, surely it is kevin anderson who require six and a half hours out on court in his semifinal. the first of those men's semifinals before coming out on top against his opponent. it was 26—24 it finished in that fifth and decisive set. the second longest in wimbledon history. noted as well when he was warming up for that much she was fetching quite considerably. it is going to be a real test of endurance for both players when they get out on centre court with the final due to get under way at 2pm. we saw yesterday kerber winning her first wimbledon title. beating serena williams. in what is her third grand slam win. we're talking about serena williams potentially going on to equal margaret court was a record of 2a grand slam singles titles but not this year as kerber came through in straight sets and was a really comfortable performance in the end from her, falling to the

centre court before getting our hands on that famous dish. we were hoping to have been able to tell you about british success in the women's wheelchair doubles. involved a british german team. they could not get past their opponents. you might remember one of them one the start of last year. she is of the start of last year. she is of the composed player. a step too far. were talking about british success and because see further later with jamie murray and action in the mixed doubles alongside victoria. it could bea doubles alongside victoria. it could be a third title for him. and whether looking out forjack draper who is in action. the boys singles. we could become the first british winner in the boys singles and 56 yea rs. thank you. the final might still be going on by the time the fans and

croatia take the field in moscow for the world cup final with over three billion people expected to tune in and around the globe. it is the third time that the french had been in the final in the last 20 years. having beaten belgium in the semis. this player was at the heart of the 1998 winners and is optimistic about repeat. i have confidence in france because i think it was a big team, it was a big tournament for us. step by step. the team grow up together. it is very important and a big respect for the team. after 2010 the french football, it was very, very bad. eight years after, you can win the world cup. it is a very important for the football, for the french football. very important. he was sent off in 98. he was a

painful reminder of how croatia went one better and beat england in extra time. the coach said his last words to his players will be to simply have a good time. we thought football might be coming today but think about other players have left their training base a couple of hours ago. the dues find birmingham shortly. though they missed out on major runners, beaten by belgium yesterday. does represent the best finish since 1990. how does gareth southgate reflect on the tournament as a whole? ten years since we had a knock at winning. that was becoming a huge barrierfor everybody. the penalty shoot out, a barrier. but i think the biggest thing for me is the ethos of the players have now in terms of how they work every day and their desire to get better. their understanding that we've done well but there are still a bit to do to be considered a really top team. and i think that's important that we recognise that. closer to home it has been suggested

that the chelsea forward who scored to know when against england yesterday could pay for real madrid one day. the 27—year—old says it might be time to discover something different after six years at sta mford different after six years at stamford bridge. west ham have confirmed the signing ofa west ham have confirmed the signing of a new player in the snazzy video. the brazilian midfielder joins of a new player in the snazzy video. the brazilian midfielderjoins for a clu b the brazilian midfielderjoins for a club record fee that could be worth £415 million. everton enjoyed a co mforta ble £415 million. everton enjoyed a comfortable preseason win. they thrashed the austrian side 22—0. by the time they got to scoring, the opposing keeper well, he wasn't making much of an effort. the simplest goal of his whole career. a good start for the new boss. much sterner tests you suspect to come there. it has already been a

dramatic stage nine of the tour de france so far. it is the big stage. one rider has questioned us out of the race. many thanks. police in wiltshire are continuing their search for evidence after the poisoning of a couple with the nerve agent novichok. dawn sturgess died after she and her partner charlie rowley were exposed to the chemical last month. detectives say more than 400 items have been recovered so far. earlier our correspondent keith doyle gave us this update from outside salisbury district hospital. the hospital said there was no significant change in his condition was described as serious but stable. i have spoken to member of his family this morning who said that they have spoken to charlie. he is able to talk he's obviously coming to terms with the death of his partner, dawn sturgess and all that

entails. now, the police had been giving us details about the investigation of the scale of this investigation, which of course is 110w investigation, which of course is now a murder investigation. they have described the search process in their words as one of the most complex and difficult that uk policing has ever faced. complex and difficult that uk policing has everfaced. now, we do know that they found and recovered a bottle in amesbury at the home of charlie rowley on friday. they do believe that is the source of the nerve agent and that is obviously a huge boost to their investigation. but the searches are continuing. they've said that they have collected around 400 items. now, those items include swabs and sample some babe said that a significant number of these may be contaminated. that is obviously quite worrying. and they are saying that the searches that are going on at various locations could go on for weeks and months, even. and these are very meticulous searches. the volunteer police and scientists that are taking part in the searches,

they have to wear protective equipment that takes 40 minutes to put this equipment on. they're working with limited visibility. limited movement. in the searing heat it can get up to 40 degrees inside these sterile tens that they are working in and of course they have to make sure there is no cross contamination and they have to make sure that they are protected as well. seven takes another 40 minutes to ta ke well. seven takes another 40 minutes to take this protective equipment. so it is a huge, complex investigation. it is going to cover a wide area, it is covering a wide area, it is going to go on for some time and it is, as i say, a very, very complex investigation. keith doyle in salisbury. a group of six southern koalas are being brought from australia to live at longleat safari park in wiltshire, making them the only ones of their kind in europe. the southern koalas are known for their thickerfur — handy for a british winter. laura foster reports. they are abandoning australia and moving to wiltshire. and when the five females and single male arrive, it will be the only place you can find southern koalas in the whole

of europe and it's hoped, once this group settles into their new home in longleat, they will start to breed. it will be a very strict monitoring process of each individual koala and the koala as a group, so we can actually identify different behaviours and individualities and how it affects them. they are also brought being brought to the uk because wildlife experts want to raise awareness about the problems koalas are facing. although not classed as endangered, koalas are recognised as vulnerable. since the middle of the 19th century, millions have been killed for theirfur, and more recently, large portions of their habitat have been destroyed to build houses and roads. wombats have been chosen to keep them company on theirjourney and they will end up here, at a new indoor and outdoor australia—inspired enclosure at longleat safari park. so, the koalas' new home isn't finished just yet. there are some eucalyptus trees here, perfect for the koalas

to snack on between mealtimes, but they are still going to plant more trees. now, these have been picked especially from the longleat estate because they are perfect for koalas to really sink their claws into and scale all the way up. but they can eat up to 500 kilograms of eucalyptus leaves in a single day. that's one of the reasons the team here have been growing their own supply. we have faced some challenges. we had, obviously, the heavy snow back in march which has kind of set us back a little bit, but since this nice sunshine has happened, they have sprouted right up, so definitely become more positive. his but when these six furry friends arrive in the autumn, it is hoped we will be able to learn more about how to help protect these iconic creatures. laura foster, bbc news, at longleat. wonder if they might need a bit of a shade over the weather we're having at the moment. let's look at weather

it is going to last. good afternoon, sarah. perfect weather for the good afternoon, sarah. perfect weatherfor the moment good afternoon, sarah. perfect weather for the moment out there. they will feel right at home. things will be changing to this week. today, not a hot sunny day. these are keeping cool with a dip in the water there in suffolk. not the same everywhere. more crowd pleasing into north—west of the country so more cloud and out of that cloud some rain as well. that is all courtesy of this weather front here. so, over the next 48 hours or so, this weather front is going to ramble its way across the uk. rings and spells of rain to parts of ireland and scotla nd of rain to parts of ireland and scotland and it will continue to do so. scotland and it will continue to do so. east of scotland say mainly dry. aberdeenshire towards five. all of england and wales staying dry, too. quite warm and humid with temperatures up to 30 degrees. very hot for the minimum work final at wimbledon and humid oakwell. through this evening that weather front

continues its progression is only further east. we will see some spells of an working at northern england and wales in the night. to the north—west of that some slightly fresher conditions and further south and east another muggy, uncomfortable and humid night ahead. through the day on monday the front stays with us pushing its way slowly south—eastwards across england and wales, it will bring some pretend to be heavily showery rain. the showers will be hit and mist as they track the way eastwards. many central and eastern parts of england having a largely dry, settled, sunny, warm and humid day. 29 degrees yet again in london tomorrow but things will turn cooler behind that weather front for the north and west. subatomic yet tuesday looks like that front for the past across all of the british isles. that means we're all under the influence of the cooler, westerly airflow. could still be the odd shower across the eastern england on tuesday. clearing away and then mostly dry. one of two showers just away and then mostly dry. one of two showersjust cropping away and then mostly dry. one of two showers just cropping up away and then mostly dry. one of two showersjust cropping up here away and then mostly dry. one of two showers just cropping up here and there but most places avoiding altogether. temperatures around

18-25d. but altogether. temperatures around 18—25d. but some did delete mac. there will be some afternoon showers just bubbling up with the daytime heat and so temperatures 20—26dc for most of us in the middle part of the week so fairly average in fact the time of year but through the week, gradually things will start to turn that bit cooler and fresher. there will be a chance of showers and by the time you get friday and into the weekend it could be turning a little bit wetter. certainly our gardens will be pleased to see some rain. some of us it has been very little rain in the past six weeks.
