the headlines at ten... the sacked defence secretary gavin williamson warns the prime minister it would be a "grave mistake" to compromise with labour over brexit. us—iran tensions, president rouhani issues a stark warning that his country is facing difficult times ahead because of renewed american sanctions. the national crime agency says organised criminals are killing more people a year than terrorism, war and natural disasters combined. it wants more money to tackle the problem. two bbc dramas go head to head tonight at the bafta tv awards. the biggest prize in domestic football goes to the wire this afternoon. will it be title glory for liverpool or manchester city?

we are now coming to the big date. hold tight. and simon mccoy takes a ride on coastal britain and asks which towns are thriving or just surviving. that's in half an hour, here on bbc news. good morning. the former defence secretary gavin williamson has strongly criticised theresa may's cross—party brexit talks with labour calling them a "grave mistake". writing in the mail on sunday, mr williamson, who was sacked over a leak from the national security council, described the discussions as "politically naive". a downing street source said mr williamson had been supportive of the brexit strategy while he was in cabinet.

earlier i spoke to our political correspondent jessica parker, who told me more about mr williamson's remarks. it seems from this mail on sunday article this morning that he certainly has a few things to say about the prime minister's brexit strategy. on the cross—party talks he says attempts to do a deal withjeremy corbyn the labour leader are futile, destined to fail. he also says the talks are politically naive. so not great sunday reading for theresa may because cross—party talks are set to resume tomorrow. those talks have been going on for quite a while now. nobody in westminster seems to hold out great hopes they will achieve a breakthrough, but they do keep going. they do keep going. it seems like both sides haven't yet had the willingness to walk away. in terms of the mood music around those talks we have seen some ups and some downs, sometimes described as going better, sometimes described as being rather difficult. jeremy corbyn was saying this week it is hard to negotiate with a government that he described as basically one that was disintegrating.

yes, they are set to resume tomorrow but what gavin williamson is giving voice to is something that is shared by some other conservative mps, a deep scepticism that these talks can really work because there are some quite fundamental differences. so it is well trodden territory now, we know the labour party won a permanent customs union with the eu, whereas the conservative party don't want that to happen because they think it could limit the uk's ability to do trade deals. and it is known as well that even if they could forge some kind of compromise it could potentially be very difficult to sell to either the conservative party more widely or the labour party more widely. a lot of scepticism over whether these talks can really work but set to resume tomorrow they seem to keep on trying. jessica parker, our political correspondent. jessica parker, our political correspondent. president rouhani of iran has warned his country that it is facing difficult times ahead because of renewed us sanctions. addressing a meeting of political actvists, he said iran could be facing even

greater economic problems than in the 19805 when it was subject to international trade restrictions during the war with iraq. andy beatt reports. american military might en route to the gulf. warships, bombers and missiles intended to send a clear message to tehran. but it's notjust about fire power. tough new us sanctions are raising temperatures further. iran's president is feeling the heat. the pressures by our enemies, he said, is a war unprecedented in the history of our islamic revolution. during the war we did not have a problem with our banks, oil sales, imports or exports. but i don't despair. i have great hope for the future provided we are united. his rallying cry comes amid growing anger at a slump in the economy caused by sanctions and sustained pressure from washington over the country's nuclear programme.

translation: we are here today to defend our right to nuclear technology. this is a right of all nations and the islamic republic has used this right, but they have intensified sanctions and made life very hard for the iranian people. protesters here back president rouhani's recent threat to restart nuclear activities, but that risks killing the landmark nuclear deal that america pulled out of a year ago, a decision robustly defended on saturday by the us secretary of state. we struck a terrible agreement with the islamic republic of iran to put the regime's campaigns of terrorism and proxy wars on steroids. as its military build—up continues, the pentagon claims iran was preparing to stage attacks against us forces or interests. that is dismissed as a fake intelligence by tehran.

it says whatever the pressure it will not be intimidated by psychological warfare. organised crime is a "chronic and corrosive" threat to the uk and more money is needed to tackle it. that's according to the national crime agency, which says organised criminals are killing more british people a year than terrorism, war and natural disasters. it comes ahead of an annual assessment on tuesday which will look at how gangs are exploiting advances in technology. our reporterjames waterhouse is here with me with more. what is the national crime agency saying. this is a tone of urgency from the director—general. she is saying against the backdrop of globalisation, extremism and technological advances, serious and organised crime is changing fast and they need significant new investment to deal with it. the nca is saying

dangerous criminal gangs are dominating local communities and evolving, so for example inner—city gangs, county gangs, set up drug networks to supply and are using violent methods and are combining it with being tech savvy, using the dark web, only accessible with certain software. the nca are saying they can detect people doing it but they can detect people doing it but they need future funding. they want more funding, has there been any response to that plea? there has. the securities minister says, as the nca setup, serious and organised crime is a fast evolving and highly complex threat to our national security. it is estimated to cost the uk £37 billion a year. our strategy published in november last year set out how we will mobilise the full force of the state to target and disrupt serious and organised crime as the use of

technology evolves and so must our response. no direct response to the funding but we can expect more detailfrom funding but we can expect more detail from both funding but we can expect more detailfrom both sides funding but we can expect more detail from both sides as the week goes on. james waterhouse, thank you. james waterhouse, thank you. more than a0 states in the us have filed a lawsuit against 20 pharmaceutical companies. they are accusing them of price—fixing and conspiring to reduce competition. this follows a five—year investigation into why prices have sometimes suddenly increased and in some cases by over a thousand percent. our washington correspondent chris buckler explained why those states are filing these lawsuits. according to that investigation, at times they seem to be doubling, tripling or rising by more than iooo%, sometimes with no explanation whatsoever. that is why the states have been looking into this and have brought the lawsuit. they are suggesting 20 of these companies, along with 15 individuals, have been involved in some kind of conspiracy, essentially to try and manipulate and inflate prices and also to try and restrict competition.

these are extremely serious charges. they say they want to bring this suit to try to force change, but also to claim damages and ensure drug prices remain lower. there are 20 companies and 15 individuals and there has not been a response from all of them, but it seems that the majority of them, if not all, will fight this suit. if you listen to any politicians here, including president trump, they say time and time again americans are paying more than people in other parts of the world for their medications and they cannot understand the reason for that. it is one of the rare issues in the us at the moment that unites republicans and democrats and they both want something done about it although they can't agree what that should be. so far we have not had any proposals for legislation that would address this issue properly. i suspect it will be talked about a lot leading up to the 2020 presidential campaign.

chris buckler reporting from washington. chris buckler reporting from washington. the stars of the small screen will gather this evening for the bafta tv awards in london. the bbc‘s killing eve is leading the way with six nominations. the ceremony, hosted by graham norton, will be shown tonight on bbc one. here's our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. are you ok? killing eve was one of the most talked about shows of 2018. it leads the way with six nominations including one for best drama and two in the best actress category for its two leads, sandra oh, an mi5 officer, and jodie comer, who plays a charismatic assassin. pleasure to meet you, ma'am. there are three nominations for the year's most watched show, bodyguard, including best drama and best actress. it is time for me to say hello. ant mcpartlin did not take part in the final episode of saturday night takeaway,

following his drink—driving arrest and subsequent conviction. he and his co—star dec are nominated for best entertainment performance, however, and the itv show for best entertainment programme where it will be up against the bbc‘s strictly come dancing. do you love him? oh, god. there are also four nominations for a very english scandal, the miniseries about the jeremy thorpe scandal including a best actor nomination for hugh grant and best actress for ruth wilson who played her own grandmother in the drama mrs wilson. and this year, the highest accolade, the bafta fellowship, goes to the journalist and broadcaster joan ba kewell, recognising her huge contribution to tv. i'm joined now by entertainmentjournalist and tv critic emma bullimore. who do you think will be the big

winner? it is difficult to bet against killing eve, critics and audiences love it. it would be lovely to see jody comber taking audiences love it. it would be lovely to seejody comber taking an award, a home—grown talent, it would be great for it to be her knight. what is the secret of that show?m has fantastic characters, amazing writing and it is original. so often we see the same thing repackaged again and no one has seen anything like this and it is a mystery and comedy and funny, but it is also a thriller, everything you could want. that is why audiences have responded to it. it does not dumbed down either which is refreshing. but after have bent the rules to include it because normally the show has to be broadcast first in the uk, but in this case it was broadcast first in the united states on bbc america.

this case it was broadcast first in the united states on bbc americalj am assured that all the rules are adhered to and are absolutely legitimate. olderaudiences adhered to and are absolutely legitimate. older audiences care about is seeing big show is recognised. if it was not in, it would be a travesty. bodyguard was massive in terms of audience and ratings were through the roof. do you think that will win?|j ratings were through the roof. do you think that will win? i think keeley hawes has a decent chance but she is up against the girls in killing eve. she is up for two and i hope she goes away with at least one. everybody loved her and it would be nice to see her win. benedict cumberbatch, you say he must have won a bafta. he has never won one. it could possibly be his night. remind people about patrick melrose because i thought it was a fabulous show and very different. melrose because i thought it was a fabulous show and very differentm is very dark in places but it has black humour as well. it is on sky,

so some people would have missed it. they have got more nominations and patrick melrose is out with a stupendous performance from benedict cumberbatch. and i also must say that ross could win a bafta and that would be a popular decision. that ross could win a bafta and that would be a popular decisionm that ross could win a bafta and that would be a popular decision. is this a golden age for tv? the crop of entra nts a golden age for tv? the crop of entrants seems very strong, really strong competition. amazing performances will stop people like hugh grant at the tv awards rather than the film awards. when i started thisjob people than the film awards. when i started this job people rolled than the film awards. when i started thisjob people rolled their than the film awards. when i started this job people rolled their eyes a bit at telly as a poor relation to film and now it is the other way round. there are amazing projects going on and everyone wants to be on the tv. there are projects that have

not been recognised tonight, so it shows just how much there is. not been recognised tonight, so it showsjust how much there is. thank you. the headlines on bbc news... the sacked defence secretary gavin williamson warns the prime minister it would be a ‘grave mistake' to compromise with labour over brexit. as america flexes its military might and renews sanctions against iran its president issues a stark warning about difficult times ahead. the national crime agency says organised criminals are killing more people a year than terrorism, war and natural disasters combined. it wants more money to tackle the problem. sport and a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. i think it is a big day in the premier league title race. yes, it has all come down to the final day

of the premier league season. after an exhilarating campaign just of the premier league season. after an exhilarating campaignjust one point separates manchester city and liverpool and both clubs have pushed each other all the way. and then there were two. ok, we have known that for a while. we might not have expected to reach the final day and have both still in it. but having landed blow after blow since august, come five o'clock, just one, liverpool or manchester city will still be standing. the odds for liverpool are longer. they need to defeat wolves and they are relying on city slipping up in brighton. but don't write them off. and in one of those i was there for it moments, they defeated barcelona. they reached the champions league final. they reached the champions league final. it is a challenge because you have messages and nobody speaks about the weekend. unbelievable how you have played and stuff like that and all the best and now you do it but we play wolves and we know that. for whoever misses out this afternoon, unwanted history awaits.

no team has ever scored as many points as these two, yet not won the league. it's in city's hands for now. vincent kompany‘s bolt from the blue to defeat leicester could come to define the season but it won't mean much if they do not defeat brighton. we are in this position because we have won most of 30 games in a row, we have to win one more tomorrow in the premier league and that is what we have to do. you have to rewind seven years to find the last final day decider. city won it in the final minute. it seemed unthinkable, unrepeatable. until this week. there is coverage of all of yesterday's play—off matches as well as previews of today's games on the sport website. in scotland we have the old firm derby at noon and with celtic and rangers already filling the top two sports focus has shifted to the chase for third place.

determined leeds fight to narrowly win by 24—22. you can watch warrington against wigan on bbc one later and kick—off is at 2:15pm. england cricketers clung on to beat pakistan in the second one—day international. jos buttler powered them to 373 for three. the visitors came close but england edged it, winning by 12 runs. mercedes continued to dominate formula 1 this season with another first and second in qualifying for the spanish grand prix. valterri bottas will start on pole position for third time in a row. he has a one—point lead over lewis hamilton in the championship. i enjoy the adrenaline rush you get from those laps and i am pleased. practice was difficult with the spin. i moved on. idid practice was difficult with the spin. i moved on. i did not put the laps together and the last couple of

laps together and the last couple of laps in 03 particularly was strong. i had to go out early because i came into early and i had to go at first ahead of everyone. it was not a good enoughjob. ahead of everyone. it was not a good enough job. great britain were beaten by germany in their opening game of the ice hockey world championship in slovakia. this goal to level the match at 1—1 in the final period, but germany scored two late goals to win it 3—1. great britain are appearing at the world championships for the first time in 25 years. they play canada later. ahead of the world athletics championships later this year the world relay championships are under way in germany. great britain qualified for the four by 100 metres final running the fastest time this year. the women are also through. britain's simon yates is a 19 seconds behind going into the second stage of thejeer at

missed the chance to go back to the top of the world rankings when he she lost to kiki bertens in straight sets. it is her biggest win and it ta kes sets. it is her biggest win and it takes her up to fourth in the world, making her the highest ranking —— women in history. three major football clubs have moved to distance themselves from the use of their club crest by supporters who belong to a street protest organisation called the democratic football lads alliance. earlier, adrian goldberg from 5 live investigates explained why. the dfla started life originally as being the football lads' alliance and they emerged after the terrorist attacks in manchester and london in 2017. there was then a split in the organisation. the fla still exists, but the larger group is the dfla, the democratic football lads alliance. what is interesting is that they are made up primarily of people who used to be involved in football hooliganism.

so if they have a street protest, and they have attracted thousands of people, they can present a pretty intimidating sight. they say they are not racist, they are not far right, but there is evidence on some of their facebook pages for example, and indeed from some of the comments that have been made by people on their protests, that a good number of their supporters are to say the least islamaphobic. so we have some clubs trying to distance themselves from the dfla. what has emerged as a result of our investigation is a number of dfla supporter groups have associated the dfla with the official club crest of a number of teams. three clubs, arsenal, crystal palace and manchester city, have told us they all have concerns about the association of their club crests with the dfla and are taking various measures, either to investigate or to specifically distance themselves from the dfla. i stress the dfla insist they are not racist,

they are not islamaphobic. there are people on the other side of the organisation, groups like football lads and lasses against fascism who say they are far right and that, i guess, is why the football clubs are seeking to put that distance between themselves and the dfla. adrian goldberg. at least three gay rights campaigners have been detained at a march in the cuban capital havana. it's after the island's annual gay pride event was cancelled without a clear explanation by the authorities. the governmentstate announced the usual march would not be held, citing "foreign interference". it prompted a number of activists organise another of activists to organise another one via social media, in direct conflict with the government. from havana, our cuba correspondent, will grant, reports. havana's gay pride is normally much bigger than this, an annual celebration of the island's gay and lesbian community, and their decades—long struggle to be recognised. but this was an improvised event,

with word spread by social media, after the cuban government cancelled this year's march at the last minute. this particular gay pride march might not look very big, but what it represents is really quite significant in cuba. after being told they weren't allowed to hold the march, many have simply turned up anyway. the organisers said they had always wanted to hold their normal event, and only decided to put this one together instead as they were never given a coherent reason for the cancellation. translation: they obliged us to hold this event. we had every intention of participating in the government—organised event, the usual gay pride march. but what we still don't understand is why the march was cancelled. we know the excuses they have given us are not the reasons, because they lack any real foundation. in essence, the decision to go ahead with a smaller march, in defiance of the authorities, put the participants in conflict with the government—approved gay

rights body, cenesex, and its head, mariela castro, seen here at a gay pride march a few years ago, the daughter of the former president raul castro and the niece of fidel. once the improvised march began, the event was held in a festival atmosphere, walking down one of the main boulevards of old havana. however, at their destination, the marchers came up against a large number of police and state security. at least three people were arrested, some of them violently detained. the image of peaceful gay and lesbian marchers being dragged away was exactly the kind of scene in which the island's lgbto community hoped was finally behind them. gay pride has been held in havana peacefully in previous years, and the fact that this one ended in some confrontation is a reflection of the fact that the authorities aim to control anything that hasn't been government sanctioned. however, the organisers say

the entire situation could have been avoided if they had been allowed to hold their original march in the first place. the annual list of the richest people in britain is out this morning, and it reveals that there's now a record 151 billionaires in the country. together they hold a combined wealth of £525 billion and london is home to more billionaires than any other city in the world. that's according to the sunday times. john mcmanus reports. if you woke up this morning to find that once again you haven't made it onto the sunday times rich list, well, don't be too envious. the very well—heeled can afford large yachts but life is not all plain sailing for the captains of industry. one of the most famous names, philip green who fell out with the british establishment over the collapse of his high street

chain bhs and harassment claims that he strongly denies. it is notjust his reputation that plummeted. the sunday times says he lost over £1 billion and is now merely a multimillionaire. the top dogs of the list for the third time are the hinduja brothers who made their 22 billion pound fortune in energy, property and finance. we would be much richer and better off as we would be much richer and better offasa we would be much richer and better off as a nation. we would be much richer and better off as a nation. at numberfive is sirjames dyson, under some flak for deciding to move his head office from the uk to singapore. he hoovered up an extra £3 billion bringing him a tidy sum of 12.6 billion. 25—year—old grime artist stormzy is a new entrant to the list. worth 16 million. he uses some of his money to support two scholarships for black students at cambridge. fellow musician ed sheeran has doubled his net worth which is now £180 million. and if you do find some spare gold bars down the back of the sofa, the equality trust says it is asking

the rich list members to support higher taxes on their wealth to solve inequality. now it's time for a look at the weather. we can cross the newsroom to helen. you cannot buy whether u nfortu nately, you cannot buy whether unfortunately, but it is looking fairly good if you like dry and sunny weather, but no sign of rain over the next few days which will disappoint some. the high pressure is putting a lid on the atmosphere, stopping those downpours we have had recently. it will feel lovely and warm. we have got some high cloud coming into northern ireland and western scotland, so the sunshine will be hazy. still showers in the northern isles, but elsewhere it is virtually dry for all of us and you will be lucky if you catch a shower. it will feel warmer than yesterday.

that is because we have got this high cloud in the north and west and it will not be as cold overnight. there will be patchy ground frost in central and eastern parts of england. a bit of mist and fog in the morning commute, but it is essentially fine and dry tomorrow and it will feel warm again. it will feel warmer than today, nudging 20 degrees. fine weather on the way this week. hello. this is bbc news with ben brown. the headlines... the sacked defence secretary gavin williamson warns the prime minister it would be a ‘grave mistake' to compromise with labour over brexit as america flexes its military might and renews sanctions against iran, its president issues a stark warning about difficult times ahead to his country.
