the most unlikely of brexit pairings, but could to receive may and jeremy corbyn unite in the coming days? the prime minister hope so. coming days? the prime minister hope so. recovering after her party was stumped at the local elections, she believes that the public now want politicians to deliver. writing in the mail on sunday, theresa may appeal directly to labour leader jeremy corbyn saying... her party scottish leaders make thinks agreement is within reach. we need to start walking ourselves back to an agreement where we can get the majority of the people in the house of commons on board. i think there isa of commons on board. i think there is a deal to be done. of commons on board. i think there is a dealto be done. it of commons on board. i think there is a deal to be done. it takes two to tango. talks but labour will return on tuesday, and what of the key negotiators is less than impressed. do you trust the prime minister? no, sorry. not after this
1:02 pm
weekend. i think she hasjeopardised the negotiation. labour has real concerns and even if it can't secure demands, whoever replaces theresa may... trying to enter into a contract with a company who is going into administration and the people who are going to take over are not willing to fulfil that contract. but it is not just labour that willing to fulfil that contract. but it is notjust labour that theresa may has to convince. the chairman of the tory mps warned that accepting the tory mps warned that accepting the labour‘s demand for a customs union could split the conservative party. and they are worried about losing ground to other parties. party. and they are worried about losing ground to other partiesm will be seen as a coalition of politicians against the people and i think that millions of people would give up on both of those party. labour also has a tough sound. does
1:03 pm
it of its mps will not back the deal that does not include a referendum and they fear losing votes to anti—brexit parties. and they fear losing votes to anti-brexit parties. even that should be put back to the people. and that is the problem. i think particularly the labour party is facing because on their side, a lot of their supporters are deeply angry. differences remain between these two and many other rows away in the wings. brexit solutions don't come easy in a fractured westminster. so nick, what if the prospect? well, clearly both sides have looked at the election results and thought we need to get brexit sorted and went away or the other. it seems like the government is prepared to move and the labour pa rty‘s prepared to move and the labour party's direction. it is not clear if that will be enough. there is a real fear on if that will be enough. there is a realfear on the if that will be enough. there is a real fear on the labour side of it
1:04 pm
isa real fear on the labour side of it is a permanent move. because if theresa may is no longer that prime minister, they could come in and change it. success is not guaranteed when they get back around the table on monday or tuesday. i cannot emphasise enough just how important keeping their own parties on side with this is going to be. because of theresa may loses dozens and dozens of theirmps, theresa may loses dozens and dozens of their mps, they might not have the numbers to get any compromise through parliament and in that case, a compromise seems worth very little. nick, thank you very much. israel and palestine militants have stepped up their attacks on each other. is just as stepped up their attacks on each other. isjust as hundreds stepped up their attacks on each other. is just as hundreds of rockets have been fired into its territory while waves of air strikes

have targeted the gaza strip. the israeli prime minister has told the military to continue with strikes. it comes despite a truce agreed last month a 13—year—old boy has died after getting into difficulties in the sea in north wales. the coast guard pulled the child from the water. he was airlifted to hospital, but died later. police are not treating the death of suspicious. police are being called on to scrap a new form to hand over their new mobile phone or risk prosecution is not going through. the association of policing crime commissioners say the new policy could undermined the new group make the system. how likely is it that the police commissioners will be listened to? they will always be listened to. they will always be listened to.
1:06 pm
they are the people responsible for overseeing the police forces. but i don't think they have won the argument yet. and this has turned into quite a big argument for the remake between different people. these forms are introduced to get victims of crime including rape victims of crime including rape victims to consent to police going through their phone looking for any evidence that might be relevant. but people have complained that they feel doubly violated as kind of a digital strip search and they are worried that their private information will be shared. it is being asked that these are scrapped oi’ being asked that these are scrapped or there could be a loss of confidence. this is a real dilemma. how do you balance the right of a victim to feel like they've not violated again against the right to the defendant to actually have a full defence in court.

hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. a 17—year—old girl who was murdered in wiltshire on friday has been named. ellie gould was pronounced dead after emergency services were called to an address in calne near chippenham. wiltshire police are continuing to question at 17—year—old boy who has been arrested on suspicion of her murder. our correspondent gave us this update. for most of the thai people, this is a once—in—a—lifetime experience. there has not been one for 69 years. the crowd, you can see behind me. they are all sitting down, they are expecting the king's younger sister to go by. but what did he really waited for was what we saw just about half an hour ago. the king coming past and very slow procession in a very long procession too. soldiers marching in perfect order, wearing uniforms that look strikingly similar to those of the guards of buckingham palace. big, tall, bearskin hats.
1:12 pm

1:13 pm
diminished toa unstable country. the monarchy had diminished to a point where people weren't sure it was going to survive. he was much loved by people, very moderate person. he was brought up in switzerland. this king is very different. he is a stickler for ritual that he is quite severe. almost intimidating. there were times in the past where people wondered if he had the qualities to do thejob, but he has been doing it for two and a half years and he has a good understanding of royal power. it is unlikely, no one expects that he would enjoy the same affection as his father, but at this stage we don't know what he is going to do. although the monarchy is constitutional, it has enormous power and wealth and he could wield those to striking a fact. well, let's ta ke those to striking a fact. well, let's take a look at the live pictures of that procession. as you can say they are still making their way through this four mile routes to the thai capital with the king born on that golden pallet claim. —— the

soldiers have had to take it in turn because it is so hot. as to not wear them out, they've been taking in shifts. the king will visit three of the royal temples to pay homage to the royal temples to pay homage to the different images of buddha held inside. according to thai cultural beliefs, the king is a living deity himself. so this is why they make such an effort with this procession. and they has been... the first coronation the thai people have seen in 69 years. that translates to about 31 million us dollars. so no

expense has been spared. quite a beautiful spectacle. dog breeders selling puppies on the black market have been forced to pay back more than five million pounds in tax as part of a clamp—down on illegal puppy farming. customs officers found fraudsters making huge profits by breeding puppies on a mass scale — with little regard for their welfare. simonjones reports. distressed dogs kept in appalling conditions by breeders not paying their taxes, treating animals as a commodity rather than with humanity, selling them on in huge numbers. the impact of the illegal puppy trade on dogs is one of absolute misery and animal welfare problems, from disease to over—breeding, it really does cause suffering, and some of these people are moving dogs around, travelling great distances when they are sick and injured, and it really is a miserable trade. a task force from hm revenue
