this is part remaining colleagues. this is part of the difficulty that we are facing at the moment. all of us, and have said this before, have to be willing to compromise the undoubted divisions that exist, notjust in my own party but also in the labour party which heavily divide us on this controversial and risky and challenging issue which goes to the heart of our economic stability and u nfortu nately, heart of our economic stability and unfortunately, it's not a matter on which people are agreed. the prime minister, having discussed with her cabinet and resolve their differences, and i'm the first to say, it's not perfect but nevertheless, they seem to be to be a constructive basis on which we could make progress and in the course of the week that has followed, it has been attacked and undermined by some of my colleagues and in order to survive, the prime minister has had to bend with the wind. do you accept this is tearing the

conservative party apart? it is putting the party under a great deal of strain. it would be an exaggeration to say it is torn apart. the political system in the country is being torn apart notjust by the conservative party. and is the agreement made in chequers map which you spoke in favour of, isn't it effectively dead in the water? can it possibly be resuscitated? the prime minister i think believes that despite the concessions she has made to some of my colleagues in these amendments that they don't make a big difference to her negotiating strategy at i think she is right about that. the risk i can see is that as a result of the message which they clearly got across all sought to get across and her willingness to accept it, i wonder and a quarry about the extent to which her negotiating position will be taken seriously by our eu

partners and if they think she can't deliver on a deal then that is going to place her in a position of disadvantage. so these are not easy matters. the decision is one takes over them are frankly not easy about the best thing to do in the circumstances. i am the first to acknowledge that and i am sure it applies to many of my other collea g u es applies to many of my other colleagues as well, including those with whom i may disagree. but at the end of the day, if we cannot achieve parliamentary consensus about what sort of brexit we can deliver, which is the best in all the circumstances, then the paralysis which has taken over our political system is going to continue and the outcome can only then be resolved either by further general election, although i am not sure whether that would actually contribute to resolving it, or we will have to find some other way about consulting the public about what it is they want. and could that be a second referendum, as justine greening suggested today? that is undoubtedly a possibility because if we cannot

deal with it ourselves and i think the only option would be to put to people the options and asked them to choose. and of course in doing that they might choose something with which i would disagree but at least it would bring the issue to and end, whereas the reality is we run the real risk of damaging our country in the process. i am afraid brexit has a lwa ys the process. i am afraid brexit has always been full of risk and it was ms sold in the 2016 referendum. —— missold. the idea that it would be an easy task, it is absolutely obvious that it wasn't going to be. this is where we are and we are all wrestling with this and i recognise people have strongly held views are my own views are probably quite strong and i try to moderate them as much as possible. at the end of the day we can only try to do what is best for our country and i am afraid that the answer that was given by the public in the referendum is one which is in practice very difficult to implement without high levels of risk and that this is making it hard to bring brexit about. what would

have happened if the government had been defeated tonight? my understanding is not all the liberal democrat mps were there. if they had been the government really could have been defeated. and that would have been defeated. and that would have been defeated. and that would have been the pro— remain wing of the party that would have inflicted the party that would have inflicted the defeat. i think if the government had been defeated tonight, you would find that the prime minister's position would have been immeasurably enhanced. it was quite noticeable, notwithstanding the fact some of us voted against the fact some of us voted against the government, there were a large number of colleagues who hoped we would be successful. and reports we are hearing that you might all be sent off on holiday a little bit earlier. thursday, rather than next week. do you think that this... that their prime minister is trying to head off potential leadership plots? i haven't heard the rumour that we will be sent off early. ultimately

the government runs the business of parliament and so it can and our work early. at the moment i am programmed to do things they an early into next week. i expect to come back then. if the government decides there is no business for us then we might finish on thursday. final thought, theresa may must be sitting there thinking, where are my friends? she has an extremely difficult task, and i can well appreciate that she may find the behaviour of her colleagues, including me, at times, difficult. but, at the same time, we have to do what is best for our country. and i have to say that what was being done to us this evening and during the course of today by some of my conservative colleagues didn't seem to be in the national interest at all. we are very grateful for you taking the time to talk to us. thanks very much. now, it is time to look at the weather. hello there. we are all used to this

hot, dry, sunny weather, but today there was a change in the story because of this weather front, introducing cloud and at times some rain as well. behind that front, it is introducing a change, a fresher feel. so for all of us tomorrow you will notice the difference. still some decent sunny spells around and mostly dry. now today, though, it has been a hot and humid affair. we saw 32 degrees recorded in kent. hardly a cloud in the sky at times. a different story though underneath the weather front. yes, a different story though underneath the weatherfront. yes, we a different story though underneath the weather front. yes, we did see some rain and even thundery downpours at times as you can see from the threatening skies across north yorkshire. 50 in the last few hours of the weather front here been drifting off, heavier bursts across the scottish borders. so if you are out on the roads i suspect any showers will be pretty isolated as you can see across england and were, chiefly east anglia. there will be some heavier bursts across the pennines stretching up into the

south—east scotland. but more importantly it is all going to be about the feel of things. the good news is it will be a more co mforta ble news is it will be a more comfortable night for sleeping. as the weather front here kin used to push south and east it will continue to bring fresh air with it. so although we have clear skies and a quiet night to come it will certainly be a little more co mforta ble. certainly be a little more comfortable. overnight lows are expected to sit at around 12— 13 degrees in the north, maybe 15 or 16, soa degrees in the north, maybe 15 or 16, so a little bit warm in the south—eastern corner. but different story tomorrow. a fresher feel for all of us, a dry story for all of us, there will be fair cloud and we run the risk of scattered showers, chiefly across eastern scotland and north—eastern england. in the sunshine we will see highest values of 25 degrees, 77 farah —— fahrenheit, a bit cooler in scotland and northern ireland. high pressure will build and quieten things down. so tuesday night into wednesday,

expect a quieter story before we see this weather front threatening on thursday. but again it is not going to bring that much in the way of significant rain. so it looks likely that it will be a little bit cooler and then temperatures will build in the south again. hello. this is bbc news with rebecca jones. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines at 11:30pm: donald trump and vladimir putin hail their first face—to—face summit as a success and "a good start" to improving relations. but mr trump is being widely criticised by policialfigures in the us, with former republican presdiential —— presidential candidate senatorjohn mccain describing his conciliatory attitude toward russia as "one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in memory." the government narrowly avoids a defeat on its customs bill after agreeing to conservative pro—brexit mps' demands to change its wording. the number of eu citizens leaving the uk last year

was the highest on record, according to new figures. shares in online film streaming service netflix have plummeted, with the company reporting a low number of new subscribers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lucy fisher, the senior political correspondent for the times, and author and journalist rachel shabi. welcome to you both. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily telegraph says eurosceptics claim theresa may will have to rethink her brexit blueprint after caving in to their demands. the times says the compromise deal on brexit is on the brink of collapse. the metro also leads

with the prime minister being accused of caving in to hardline brexiteers and putting her chequers plan at risk of collapse after a series of u—turns. according to the i, the parliamentary recess will be brought forward in attempt to thwart leadership plot to oust the prime minister. the financial times leads with president trump refusing to condemn russian state interference in the 2016 election identified by us intelligence services. the guardian carries the same story, with donald trump being condemned as "treasonous" in some quarters, for siding with the kremlin over his own government agencies. the daily mirror says donald trump was branded a traitor after siding with vladimir putin over claims he influenced the us election. and the daily mail says around seven million households in the uk are about to be hit by the first hosepipe ban in six years. so, lots for us to discuss, and

let's start with your paper, lucy, the times, and theresa may's brexit plan in turmoil — prime minister's concessions to tory brexiteers anger remainers, and it seems she is caught between a rock and a high place in trying to drive her plan for brexit through. that's absolutely right, 16 months after article 50 is triggered and we finally saw some flesh on the bones of her brexit planning in recent weeks with the chequers statement, carefully crafted position allowing her to carefully crafted position allowing herto maintain carefully crafted position allowing her to maintain that she was keeping to her own red lines and a plan she insisted was workable with brussels' deadlines. her brexiteers thought that it was a 1—way street to a softer brexit and they made clear their intention to rebel against the government today with four amendments to the key brexit legislation in the customs bill that

came to the house tonight and today fascinating to see downing street so concerned about these amendments that it ended up accepting all four of them and therefore it provoked v ire of remainers on the conservative benches, many of whom came within a whisker of defeat, just three votes in it. can it get any worse for theresa may, not according to the headline writers, anyway? yes, we keep saying that and then it does, right? i mean, it's a horrendous situation for her. she has lost seven ministers or ministerial aides in the last nine days and, you know, she has, as lucy was saying, she has invoked the ire of the remain a side of her government by backing down. you know, it looked like she was going to face off the hard

brexiteers, who essentially taught at the chequers agreement over the last week. it looks like she was going to stand firm —— tore up. in the end, she didn't. perhaps she calculated that she couldn't. now all that has done is, you know, made the fire come from a different part of her own government. 50 it does look increasingly chaotic. but what is also worrying is that parliament didn't have the numbers either. and it was, as lucy says, it was very, very close. it was 305 votes to 302 votes. there were 14 tory rebels, which is a lot. but that wasn't enough. and it looked like there we re enough. and it looked like there were some 14 labour mps and also some lib dems who were not there to vote. now, some of them would have had, well, let's hope they all had good reasons not to, but it would be interesting to see who wasn't there

and break that down in more detail. and, lucy, am i right, there has also been another ministerial resignation, you mention how many. yes, i think this is the seventh. interesting, this is the defence minister. it shows the matters we are in. he has quit the government in order to vote against the government because theresa may backed down. he supported the original chequers plan. he thought thatis original chequers plan. he thought that is something i can get on board with and support. when she backed down today and backed herself into a corner to a harder brexit he thought, no. so you are having people quit on both sides, the brexiteers and remainers sides of the party. if we move the telegraph, the party. if we move the telegraph, the rebels here say the chequers deal is dead. this deal was only drawn up nine days ago, is it dead? that's the trouble and people have been saying it was dead on arrival. it was dead because there wouldn't

have been enough of a constituency in parliament to support it, it wouldn't meet criteria for labour mps or the wouldn't meet criteria for labour mps orthe lib wouldn't meet criteria for labour mps or the lib dems or the snp. there were still question marks around what was agreed at chequers from that side and that's even before it comes into contact with oui’ before it comes into contact with our negotiators, the eu, would it not been satisfied with some of those issues, particularly around the northern ireland border. a lot of people did think that it was dead, pretty much from the get go but of course, now, i think a lot of remain mps on the conservative side are remain mps on the conservative side a re really remain mps on the conservative side are really just remain mps on the conservative side are reallyjust throwing their hands of the air now, and saying, what is the point? you couldn't even do this. we've been going along with oui’ this. we've been going along with our leader and prime minister, theresa may. we've been supporting her in supporting her, she couldn't even get this very diverted version

ofa even get this very diverted version of a proposal through the hardliners on the right of the party so what evenis on the right of the party so what even is the point of a supporting that going forward and that's a very dangerous place than the prime minister to be. i think that's right and it can't be overstated the significance of today really does seem as significance of today really does seem as though the prime minister has run out of the parliamentary road. there's always been this problem when the parliamentary numbers are not there. but yet even though there is a parliamentary majority, as i understand it, for a softer brexit, staying within the customs union, possibly even a single market, there is a minority thatis single market, there is a minority that is large enough to oust her from the position of party leader we re from the position of party leader were she to try and do that so it's very, very difficult now to see how she goes forward. you mentioned party leadership, we still haven't heard from borisjohnson of course.

you think that there are potential leadership challenges in the wings? i would imagine this is why she wants parliament to go into recess a few days earlier. she doesn't want any more challenges or disruption from inside her own party the feeling is, and lucy will know more, they are only going to get one shot ata they are only going to get one shot at a leadership challenge so if and when they do go through it, they wa nt when they do go through it, they want to make sure it's the best possible permutation. it is not clear at all to me that they have enough letters that would trigger a leadership bid, much less enough support across the party to actually win the bid. what are you hearing? i'm certainly aware of manoeuvres around a number of cabinet ministers who would like to be in a shot —— in with a shotgun contest comes.

whether they would trigger that is unclear. you'd also be aware of where the stigma is attached. donors lining up on a potential leadership. ina sense, lining up on a potential leadership. in a sense, that never really goes away, particularly in as volatile government. there are enough people to trigger the notion. a week and fragile authority already further. but with 150 odd mps, would they be willing to vote her down in a no—confidence vote? i'm not sure. it's extraordinarily self—indulgent of the conservatives to do this. it isa of the conservatives to do this. it is a crisis point the brexit. but they would say they care so deeply that it's not something they would be willing to roll over on. blue markets about their own party rather

than the interests of the country. these leadership challenges are about how to maintain the survival of the party. i don't think that there are many ways in which many politicians can be factional interested but on both the remain in brexit side, you have mps who think this is the biggest challenge the country faces, a great chance to crash out and get rid of the red tape. remain is very concerned about the prospect. i feel this is a substantive arguments they are having a... if they could find a way to unite over it because that would be putting the interests of the country above their own personal ambitions and interests. the problem is, i certainly can't see any plan that you would get both those things behind. that's probably why we had a referendum on the first place. let's move on to the guardian, some slight respite for mrs may because of this

summit yesterday, today, between president putin and president trump. cry to extraordinary scenes. nothing short of treasonous. this is republicans, members of his own party. criticising what he said. it's been shopping across parties in the us. democrats and republicans are horrified. us president who is also constitutionally chief defender, standing next to putin and saving, well, i don't think he interfered. this is in the presidential election. it's all a witch—hunt, is putting more faith in putin and his own investigators.

that is an extraordinarily shocking thing to witness. as you say, he's come underfire thing to witness. as you say, he's come under fire as thing to witness. as you say, he's come underfire as much thing to witness. as you say, he's come under fire as much as democrats, john mccain said no prior president has based himself more a bjectly president has based himself more abjectly in front of a tyrant. paul ryan said, the president must appreciate that russia is not our ally. shopping across the board to watch that press conference between trump and putin today. it wasjust jawdropping at times. president trump seems to speak off the cuff and going into the meeting, he and his administration asked, what does the president and the white house hope to achieve? that's not the way we are hope to achieve? that's not the way we are looking at it. we are not going in there with any strategic goals. you sort of wonder at there is any strategic thinking going on behind the scenes and to my mind,

vladimir putin looks like the to got the cream as he stood there with a slight smile playing on his lips. when he was asked whether it was true, amid rumours and reports that the russian had collected compromising material during a previous visit to moscow, he didn't pull it out. he didn't deny it. the press should disregard this but in a very playful, provocative way. it's very playful, provocative way. it's very much the russians have the upper hand here. it makes the headline in the financial times, trump defends putin over us election maddening accusations, what makes this all the more incredible is that this all the more incredible is that this comesjust this all the more incredible is that this comes just days after the us charged 12 russian spies with potentially hacking the 2016 election yet he still says there was no russian meddling. that's exactly it and it comes days after the investigation into these allegations

of hacking in the 2016 us election and more specifically into the democrats emails and servers. they did charge 12 russian spies with running these sorts of elaborate hacking operations, some of those hackers were in contact with people who were close to the campaign, the trump campaign. whether those trump campaigners did that knowingly, that is not what is being claimed but is still incredibly strong and outcomes over repeatedly, the us intelligence chiefs being united and unanimous in saying that, it was interference, they're absolutely was, we try to find out the scope and extent of who was culpable but there was interference. but to watch trump

say, it wasn't why would he do it, what reason would he have, it's very odd and shocking to see that happen. it's not back just odd and shocking to see that happen. it's not backjust backwards looking but fascinating and hugely important, his own hand—picked chief warned of threat from russian cyber attacks is colossal. he said it was one click away from national disaster that the us. you haven't got much time but i want to finish with the daily mail because hosepipe ban hits millions. the first hosepipe ban of the year? apparently the first of six or seven years and millions of families in the uk and it's the price we paid for indian summer. it's the price we paid for indian summer. i went down to sussex over the weekend and was really surprised getting out of london to see how scorched beer looked. it was astonishing. the dash more curbs

could go. it is striking. according to the mail, 7 million households will be covered. a lot of people up and down the country will be affected. it's amazing how parched and was looking around london parks. they are brown and dry and it was extraordinary. i am they are brown and dry and it was extraordinary. iam blue they are brown and dry and it was extraordinary. i am blue skinned sony to soak up a bit of sunshine. it's been delightful chatting to you, that's it in the papers. it's all there for you seven days a week. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you. hello there.

it's been a day of contrast today and we had a searing dane kent. our warmest wimbledon to nearly 35 yea rs. we have warmest wimbledon to nearly 35 years. we have had some significant contrast today. some intense rain we are seeing contrast today. some intense rain we are seeing across contrast today. some intense rain we are seeing across the north of england. we could see an inch of rain falling across the north—east of england heading towards north—east scotland and behind this front tomorrow, it's fresher hour. it should dawn a little bit cooler for most of us, a bit more co mforta ble. for most of us, a bit more comfortable. we can see not too far

away from north—east scotland heading up towards shetland of the most of us, the morning mist comes quickly, the cloud will tempted double—lock and to many of us, that will introduce one or two showers that they will be fairly hit and miss but much welcome rain and cooler and fresher the most of us. we have lost humidity, temperatures will be five or six degrees down. i'm sure there will be a bit of relief if like me you are suppling bash suffering with the heat and humidity. that high pressure it into wednesday and thursday so very few showers around in the heat is starting to build again. this time of the year, you get more heat than you lose which means temperatures will gradually keep after we keep those clear skies but by friday, and the appointment, many schools

breaking up by the end of friday but it looks as if we will see some rain, showery rain crossing scotland and northern ireland but the bulk of the southern part of the uk, it is hotting up, dry and sunny. 28, pushing towards 30 degrees again. and what about the weekend? at the moment, it looks like a weather front will start to meander its way out. and away from the north and west, it looks mainly dry and i hasten to say, notjust warm, and there is more on the website. this is newsday on the bbc.

i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: donald trump sides with vladimir putin over claims russia meddled in american elections, implying his own intelligence services got it wrong. president putin, hejust president putin, he just said president putin, hejust said it's not russia. i will say this, i don't see any reason why it would be. mr trump says the summit marks a change in the relationship, but there's been a scathing reaction in washington. we'll have the latest, live. i'm babita sharma in london. also in the programme: one of the team who saved the thailand cave boys says he might sue the billionaire, elon musk, after a row about the rescue gets personal.
