the 1922 committee, the executive which represents the back benches in she wrote the letter on behalf of the conservative party, many of whom her sister harriet. who is four, she are very unhappy about her leadership. but, because she was has cystic fibrosis. her family want her to access the drug orkambi. it challenged in december, under the current rules of the conservative party she is safe, she cannot be challenged until a year later. so costs £100,000 a year per patient. thatis challenged until a year later. so that is december. now the question it is not available on the nhs. is whether they are going to change the rules to make any kind of importantly, it is not available on the nhs. importa ntly, theresa it is not available on the nhs. challenge happen, and the meeting importantly, theresa may went on for about an hour and a it is not available on the nhs. importa ntly, theresa may last it is not available on the nhs. importantly, theresa may last year, promised to speed up negotiations half, theresa may speaking to that executive. they have gone off and speed do what she could. so somewhere else to have a meeting, we don't know where, they may be nancy wrote this letter which was delivered to number ten. deer mrs somewhere in this building, we are not sure, and we will have to try to find out when they come out whether they've decided to take any action to force this issue or whether the may, one year ago i wrote to you fa ct to force this issue or whether the fact that she has said she is going to bring in the withdrawal agreement bell in the first week ofjune, asking for you to help my sister. if whether that will be enough just to buy her a little more time and you get this medicine, orkambi, we whether they will give her another will all be very happy. please can chance to get her deal through. the you have it now? nancy's was not the sense of a dead prime minister walking in many ways, and that is only letter and i think there was

presumably what they will be fitting also a bunch of 65 roses. what was to her. yes, and obviously the fact the significance of that? that comes from very young children, when young we have the european parliamentary elections coming up, elections they did not want to hold but are going to have to because brexit has been delayed. and all the predictions children to cystic fibrosis they often say 65 roses. but there are are, amongst conservative mps, they many are, amongst conservative mps, they often say 65 roses. but there are ma ny letters often say 65 roses. but there are many letters from all across the are expecting a very torrid night country, with him was the chief come a week on sunday when those results come out. and that could be executive of the cystic fibrosis trust. we are here to mark a year another moment where people think since the payments recalled for the this is time to move, they are under speedy resolution of the negotiations the government and the pharmaceutical companies to make a massive pressure from nigel farage's brexit party, he has a very positive life changing drug available for people with cystic fibrosis. and message, he feels parliament has let this marks three and a half years down people who voted for brexit, since the drug has been available the politicians have failed by not but not paid for by the nhs. delivering, and it seems to be therefore, people with cystic harming the conservatives in a bad way but also the labour party as fibrosis, a condition where people deteriorate over time, have not able well. and alongside this the talks to get access to this drug orkambi. going on with labour as both parties try to find a through this. now, the state of those, they are not dead now what would orkambi mean for but not many people around here think they are going to come to much harriet? it would mean everything. because the politics of it is so it would certainly mean everything to her mother, who is campaigning

difficult for both sides. having and has been for three years to get said that, people here are looking for a way through, and at the moment this drug. she has seen her daughter there doesn't seem to be one. i'm and out possible, get very with sure that's what theresa may was being asked by her colleagues. infection and take huge amounts of should i ask you anything else?” medication. she is eligible for the drug, about 5000 of 10,000 patients should i ask you anything else?|j think should i ask you anything else?” think that's it. brilliant. with cystic fibrosis would be president trump has declared a national emergency to protect us eligible if it was available on the communication networks from what he calls nhs. but crucially, what she would "foreign adversaries". hope is that it would mean her it's believed he's targetting the chinese telecoms giant huawei. daughter could live longer. she is several countries, led by the us, fear huawei poses a risk only four and has already been in to their national security countless times. the reality is, we because it's too close to the chinese government. here sir richard dearlove, know that is only going to increase. the former head of m16, we feel so lucky that harriet has has said that involving huawei in britain's 56 network been born in a time when these drugs would be a "potential security risk" to the uk. have been invented, how amazing a peter bowes reports from washington. science? have been invented, how amazing a science ? but have been invented, how amazing a science? but then we have this site is nowhere for the last four years another fight with china, we have not had access to that. so a foreign adversary whose telecom giant could pose a national security what is the latest on the drugs threat to the us. availability? the nhs had offered in a statement from the white house, there is no mention of specific the pharmaceutical company who own countries or companies, but it is clear the trump the pharmaceutical company who own the drug £500 million overfive administration has yea rs huawei in its sights. the drug £500 million overfive years as the drug £500 million overfive yea rs as a the drug £500 million overfive years as a deal. that was rejected.

the us will ban transactions posing i have just had a statement from the company saying they sell really hope an unacceptable risk, to find a resolution and the talks with the president pledging to do what it takes to keep america are ongoing. but the hope today the safe and prosperous. letter going to the prime minister this executive order is that she is busy, but it mayjust was a long time coming. it's well known that huawei acts nurture to check herself on how those talks are going. is a perhaps in many ways as an agent of the chinese communist party, an understatement. thank you very much. now to salford and roger. we and so banning the type of activity that they do within our networks are talking about a bottle of red really makes a lot of sense. bordeaux, what has happened here?” as the us and other countries develop sg networks, had a feeling your interest make the this is a battle over new technology peat by the story today. four and a and security on top of the trade war half thousand pounds bottle of red which has escalated in recent days. wine, served last night to a couple chinese companies can be pressured of diners to a restaurant in by the chinese government and the communist party. manchester called hawksmoor. it was the question is — can customers of those companies around the world build their systems in a way that served to them in error. it was not mitigate those risks or is it meant to be. they had ordered a £260 just too much of a risk? bottle of wine, still beyond the and that is really a technical pocket of most of us. but were question that will vary from one application to the next. served a four and half thousand pounds bottle of wine. this came to

the us commerce department has said light last night when hawksmoor put american companies will be restricted from selling their technology to huawei, which is engaged in activities that a tweet. it are contrary to us national security or foreign policy interest. translation: we urge the united states to stop such erroneous practices and create conditions for normal trade cooperation between enterprises a p pa re ntly apparently the member of staff who of the two countries, give away the bottle of wine in and avoid further impact error was a visiting manager from one of the other branches it was on the economic and trade relations between china and the united states. there to help out, didn‘t know the layout of the wine cellar and pulled in a statement, the chinese company at the wrong one. when they were hoping for was £260 2001. only a said: with donald trump describing certain number of cases were made of the £4000 bottle. the manager is with donald trump describing putting on a brave face. we have a the impasse over trade talks as a little squabble, memberof this latest clash over technology putting on a brave face. we have a member of staff training with us at the moment someone ordered a bottle and security will further test of wine and it was considerably less deteriorating us chinese relations. than the wine they were given. it was a combination of them going into

peter bowes, bbc news. the wine room in the dark, it's been our security correspondent very busy with a conference in town frank gardner is here. at the minute. instead of picking up i'm a bit confused because one at the minute. instead of picking up a certain bottle, they picked up the minute number ten is saying we are more expensive one. £4500 they took 0k minute number ten is saying we are ok with this, theresa may seems relaxed, now you have the former boss of m16 saying there's a the wind to the table and served as problem. if he says there is a normal. no one noticed until the problem, isn't there one? the us and wine was finished, the customer australia have been very robust about this and basically the us has seemed happy. the waiter cleared the warned britain that if it goes ahead bottle and to everyone's surprise, with using huawei then there could be limits and restrictions on what it was before thousand— pounds bottle of wine. the customer seemed intelligence it shares with britain. the government has made very clear that they still reviewing this, they happy? understatement of the day. does this happen a lot? this is your we re that they still reviewing this, they were not announce a decision until the end of spring, which can't frankly be very far away. but a patch. your mac finally enough, decision has not yet been taken. a people don‘t often pay that much. report came out today which the introduction was made by sir richard you will be familiar with the dea rlove, introduction was made by sir richard dearlove, the former chief of m16, description, the tasting notes. it and in that report they list a isa description, the tasting notes. it

number of reasons why they say is a deep ruby plum colour, a huawei is not to be trusted and that accompanied by an extraordinary the assurances that are given are scent of caramel and sweet toast. it not actually valid. things like, for example, when we are told don't is considered an almost mythical worry about peripheral vintage. pearson morgan joined is considered an almost mythical vintage. pearson morganjoined in on infrastructure technology, that is not going to be part of the really twitter. he said table for tonight, cool sensitive stuff, according to the report there are bugs that can be put into that that can migrate waiter. my favourite response was across into sensitive technology. from steve who tweeted back to them. now, this is way above my technological pay grade. but there are other things which are deeply the bottle of wine was fine but it was even nicer when added lemonade disturbing such as, australian research has shown that according to and ice cubes. thank you both very the report 2.5 million uighurs were spied on in a province of china much. using huawei technology, that when their technology was installed in their technology was installed in the african union headquarters for five years every night between one and two in the morning it basically transmitted the data to servers in

shanghai. on the other side of the coin, it is cheap and it's big, it's tonight sees the second semifinal of eurovision — massive, so for the consumer it will probably be quite cheap and to confirm the final line—up for saturday‘s final in tel aviv, in israel. intelligence chiefs have said they this year‘s song contest is notable think they can mitigate the risk. for a number of reasons — one is iceland‘s entry — a band called hatari but the assumption is that anything china can do to find out what's who style themselves as an anti—capitalist, techno bdsm group. going on they will do. well, that is speaking to the bbc‘s newsbeat, the fear. isn't that a fact? huawei hatari said the competition was founded in the spirit of "peace and unity", and they‘re "conflicted" about performing in israel due have said they don't spy, they are to the israeli—palestinian conflict. not going to spy. i'm talking about steve holden reports. the chinese government, though. they are the most talked about band well, it is a police state and they at this year‘s eurovision. have different values to what we do we are icelandic award—winning in britain because it's not a democracy and they don't believe in anti—capitalist techno human rights in the same way that people do in the west, so that is a performance bdsm band, concern. but they have said they are hatari. prepared to sign a no spying hatari made it through the first agreement. the report out today says semi final to qualify for saturday‘s grand final. that doesn't hold water because there is a national intelligence law eurovision has not seen a band in china that came out in 2017 which like hatari in years. they are getting loads of attention

obliges companies to share here in tel aviv and notjust because of their outfits. information, data and intelligence with the gaza strip just over with state security if asked. the an hour down the road, bottom line that if the securities the band are fully aware of the political situation playing out in the background here. agencies in this country are worried about losing support from the us, how do you guys feel about participating in israel? and we've seen what donald trump is we are conflicted of course, done today, that should be a priority, shouldn't it? that is our stance is a contradictory one, certainly what sir richard dearlove but obviously we feel that a contest and others are saying. the authors of the report are saying this is a like eurovision, founded risk that does not need to be taken. in the spirit of peace and unity, but of course trade is hugely important and so ultimately it is a we find it absurd to host it in a country that is marred question somebody is going to have to decide on government about by conflict and disunity. whether they go down the route of friendly relations with china or the ebu which produces eurovision says the contest is strictly they do this. the two, according to nonpolitical and acts are banned they do this. the two, according to the reports authors, don't need to from making any political be mutually exclusive. in other statement on stage. words, you can still have frayed in a lot has been said any trade relations with china and not use huawei. our intelligence about whether you will or will you not protest on stage? we have considered many options. service, you think of gchq, best in the result is we have decided the world, there are those who say

whatever highway think they can do we can match it, we know what is to comply with the rules. they're up to, we have the same sort we cannot be political of... oh, you are looking very... on stage so we will do our and giving you the narrowed eyes. i don't thing it is quite as simple as performance as planned, that. there have been numerous as it has been rehearsed. reports in the last two or three yea rs of reports in the last two or three years of chinese cyber hacking, of an audience of nearly 200 million people will now get to see hatari government departments, of notjust on the grand final on saturday. spy government departments, of notjust spy stuff but ordinary everyday business of government, the russians have been up to it as well, and of the headlines on afternoon live penetration of companies by chinese hackers. and there is a realfear theresa may agrees to set a timetable for her departure that if chinese technology is used from office after the vote on her brexit deal in in sensitive areas that if there is the first week ofjune this lunchtime the former foreign a spat, a diplomatic spat with secretary borisjohnson says ‘of course‘ he will run for the conservative leadership china, for example over the size of when she steps down. china's c, over rite of passage, a nurse has been giving dramatic that state security could interfere or listening or in the worst case evidence at the inquests into the london bridge attacks. simply close it down. when you helen kennett tried to save the life of this man — and was stabbed herself. narrow you our eyes when i ask a question i know i'm in trouble!

you're watching afternoon live — here‘s your business these are our headlines: dramatic evidence headlines on afternoon live from a nurse at the inquests five banks have been fined just into the london bridge attacks. over1 billion euros helen kennett tried by the european commission after traders clubbed together to save the life of this man — to rig the foreign exchange market. and was stabbed herself. the commission‘s investigation, president trump declares which began in september 2013, a national emergency — banning american companies revealed that some individual using telecoms from what he calls foreign exchange traders, ‘foreign adversaries.‘ using online chatrooms, exchanged trading plans and occasionally co—ordinated theresa may faces senior conservative mps, as pressure mounts their trading strategies. for the prime minister to agree a timetable for her departure staff at bt are to get a pay—out from downing street — as borisjohnson says he would run of £500 a year in company shares. for the tory leadership. the awards are meant to improve motivation as the firm continues with a difficult turnaround plan. britain‘s largest telecoms company is in the midst of laying off 13,000 workers as its seeks to cut costs. and in sport manchester city say they are disappointed but not the shares will go to bt surprised as financial investigators staff around the world, refer them to uefa's adjudicatory but will need to be held for three years before they can be cashed in. chamber. they could face a champions hs2 will short change the north. league ban x season over breaches of financialfair league ban x season over breaches of financial fair play rules. tiger that‘s the verdict from a group of peers today — as they publish a report woods has got his us pga campaign into the handling over under way as he looks for the controversial rail project. back—to—back major titles after out of control costs, winning the masters last month. rory poor planning and flawed design backed roy starts his bid for a were just some of the criticisms

outlined — all of which third us pga title later this evening. and you had a contest ruthless next the government says it round of the open. she knocked out fundamentally disagrees with. seventh seed in three sets in rome. i will have more on those stories just after half past. markets have closed — maryam is here. stock markets labour has announced plans to re—nationalise the national grid for electricity and gas, to provide what the party have had a busy day..initially says will be a better the london market fell on worries dealfor the public. national grid says the idea over continuing tensions would delay investment. labour also says it would install solar panels on nearly two million between the us and china — homes to generate electricity, as part of a new energy policy. simon gompertz has more. after president trump issued executive order that effectively blacklisted huawei. labour's big increase in solar thomas cook slumped to its lowest panels would build on community in more than six years projects like this in south london, after another profit warning. and brexit uncertainty continues powering the lifts and communal lights in a block of flats to affect investors. and promising lower bills. it means some kind of its share price heavily. there is energy, and clean one... local backers like fay say the savings are winning over other residents. some people — full stop — "i just want to pay less," —— the london market has recovered.

and if they can also see that joining us now is chrisjustham, in their bill with the solar energy, an investment manager at seven investment management markets how could they complain after that? thomas cook what exactly these traders were doing and then maybe what impact this will have on the banks in question? labour says one million council yell or trade quite rightly has and housing association homes dominated again. when you look at would get the panels, the tail end, it can be quite saving £117 a year each to psy—tu rvy. the tail end, it can be quite topsy—turvy. quite often in the on electricity bills, and there'd be interest—free loans markets, this is the case. they are and grants to help 750,000 other weighing up things like donald trump households install them. and his administration in so this is what labour washington, deciding to ban huawei wants its green energy policy to look like, in the us. against things like and it says that, to get this done quickly across the country, that's one of the reasons it wants to renationalise the national grid applications for tariffs, european automate is being delayed which and the local electricity would be a positive group or global distribution companies, trade. so you‘re trying to with the current owners assimilate all this information and investors probably getting back which can mean things go up and down a lot less than they think those businesses are worth. quite rapidly. broadly today, sovereign debt markets have been labour would borrow to buy the grid quite calm computer yesterday. as back, but cut the amount paid by adjusting for what it calls asset you said, brexit is dominating stripping, despite warnings that it again. the pound reflecting that as

to reverse the part privatisation of the probation service, introduced five years ago by the thenjustice entities market. lets talk about the secretary chris grayling. the chief inspector of probation recently described the system currency traders accused of rigging as "irredeemably flawed". the currency market using online chat rooms. a big fines from the here's our home affairs correspondent danny shaw. he promised it would transform european commission. what were they accused of doing? you mention the rehabilitation for offenders. chris grayling was the architect chat room, they are sharing private of the biggest probation information, insidertrading. shake—up in decades, sharing information which if you‘re allowing private firms to supervise going to trade on it, the whole former prisoners and people serving market should know. if you are privy community sentences who pose a low to things that could move share or medium risk, but now prices or in this case currency, you can then benefit from it. it is not the reforms are being scrapped. fairand is against can then benefit from it. it is not fair and is against the rules, hence there was a mistake the fine, over1 billion euros, and chris grayling has to share responsibility for that. he thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, we pleaded with him not to do it following a fine from the us. it is or at least pilot some of the schemes is first. things like frontrunning, if you know there will be a big transaction he flatly refused, pushed it by one of your clients that might through to satisfy his own political agenda and has cost the taxpayer affect currency, one of your friends millions, hundreds or one of these other individuals of millions of pounds. share this information and could benefit from that. hence the fine. inspectors said chris grayling's model of part privatisation thank you very much indeed. that is

was irredeemably flawed and people would be safer with the public sector in charge. all from me i will be back soon. they were concerned offenders were not being properly supervised and were unable to access courses to help them turn their lives around. very chaotic, to say the least. i would turn up to appointments and the worker wouldn't be there or it would be a different worker or they wouldn't even be an online survey has found out that expecting me in some cases. under the new system, offenders will be monitored only 20% of people have savings by the national probation service under 20. it has also been found in 11 regions. that half of those asked have less the private and voluntary sectors than £50 in the bank. will provide unpaid work and drug misuse programmes for offenders but there will be no payment by results, a key element of chris grayling's approach. one aspect that hasn't worked, and i accept that, is that when it comes to offender management, payment by results has not worked. complex reasons why that's the case, some of this is to do with the fact the caseloads have been very we are going to discuss the

different from what was anticipated. difficulties of managing your mr gauke says the new system finances in your 20s. i about right, of supervising offenders will increase public safety. it will be introduced in wales this year and across england in 2021 30% of people not having ceiling but the current private providers have been told it could take four sounds right i have something called years until the service improves. a splash account. if all your money is on one plot, and spend it on they are concerned the new setup everything, you are going to spend will become fragmented it on everything. i think people with offenders more likely to slip without savings are not that through the probation net. bothered. more than a third of people in their 20s say they have i'm joined now by cat hobbs, made a purchase after seeing an the director of public ownership campaign group we own it, advert online, or senior promotion which is part of a coalition bya advert online, or senior promotion by a social media influencer and of organisations that fought they have bought something they for the probation services to be brought back under public control. would not want to buy otherwise. does that surprise you? not at all. obviously you will welcome this, but everyone is on their phones so from i need to know more about the group, a design perspective it is so easy to filter and what people are who are you, who do you represent? searching for and place that on soi social media. especially with his who are you, who do you represent? so i set up we own it to be a voice influencer is that around now.” think it is also shiny object

for users, whether you are looking syndrome, a new iphone comes out and people are flocking to buy it but at karelian of the neck railways or you do not have 2p to rub together, why are you trying to buy the latest nhs orwe at karelian of the neck railways or nhs or we need to bring public iphone? most people in their 20s do services into public ownership which is supported by the vast majority of not own a home, that is not a uk who finances you? we are mostly surprise. a good proportion say they may never own a home.” surprise. a good proportion say they may never own a home. i only have financed by donations from one friend who bought his own house individuals and we would love it if and that was only a couple of months any of your watchers would give us ago here in manchester. and we are money if because we are trying to be a voice for public ownership in 27. i know one person.” general. let's talk about the ago here in manchester. and we are 27. i know one person. i know owning probation service. is this is a house is a great asset to have, something that has not worked but i think on the path i am on at because it was done badly or is it a the moment, aiming to have a principle here? i'm afraid it's yet another of chris grayling's disasters. but there is a really mortgage does not make sense. it is important principle here which is probation as a public service, it is literally having a debt for the rest of my life. i want to keep my wings about looking back after ex offenders, making sure they don't free to go where i want. nearly 6296 commit more crimes, making sure of people in their 20s —— 60% of communities are safe. it is not appropriate to have private companies involved. we have seen in people. feel their lives are more a few short years the service com pletely a few short years the service completely fail in private hands and has had to be brought into public difficult than their parents when ownership again where it will work better as it did before. the irony they were in their 20s. in a way i

is that the government did something think yes there are some things, but wrong is your view and now they've we also have some things easier to done something right. yes, and we've degree. i think we have different really ha p py done something right. yes, and we've challenges to what they were facing really happy they've made the right at the time. decision. we see probation delivered locally, though, and we don't think there is over the private sector in this because it doesn't make sense for private companies to be involved. would it cost the taxpayer more than the system that the government was trying to introduce, the former australian prime minister because the criticism seems to be bob hawke has died at the age of 89. you will just sack saddled the taxpayer with huge debt. what we he won four successive general seen from the national audit office elections and achieved the highest and the public accounts committee is approval ratings of any of prime that privatisation has been very costly a nd minister. in more recent years he that privatisation has been very costly and cost us millions of pounds because the government has essentially had to bail out private became well—known for his tradition of downing of your own camera at sporting events to huge cheers from companies as they have collapsed. that is a really bad deal for all of the crowd. andy murray has collated us. the irony of course is you are his knighthood at buckingham palace saying that public ownership is best more than two years after he was but then it would have been run by awarded the honour. he described it someone like chris grayling, do they know how to run things better than people in the public sector? we have asa

awarded the honour. he described it as a proud day, when it was people in the public sector? we have people who know how to do the work announced in 2016 he said being and it's about people in the public known as asaf sounded strange but we sector making sure the motivations use more than happy as being known are right. it's not really question as andy. before the weather, how was of chris grayling or anyone else dealing directly with offenders. your day at work? sums or pictures of two window cleaners in oklahoma what you say to people who say city. they had a terrifying nationalisation didn't work in the first place and that is why there experience when their basket swung was a change to privatising things? out of control will attach to the that is simply not true. if you look cities tallest tower the devon at what was going on in 2013, the probation services were rated either tower. were eventually able to excellent or good, and now after secure the rope swinging 50 floors just five years, six years of above st level. some windows were shattered but they were unhurt. privatisation they are rated as inadequate. and the chief probation officer has said the service has been reduced to shreds in this way that‘s it from your by chris grayling. so, generally, is afternoon live team for today, next the bbc news at 5pm with ben brown. time for a look at the weather. it your view your group is my view it was a glorious day yesterday, widespread sunshine, that nationalisation good, anything up and down the uk and it felt warmer too. private is wrong, or is there are high pressure has been drifting norwood which has allowed other

easterly breeze to develop across the uk. it looks like the cloud will compromise? this is about running public services in public ownership, but private companies can do lots of other things and that is fine. thank thicken up further with some patchy you very much. rain moving and across parts of central and southern england as with a week to go until polling day, we're taking a closer look night moves on further north lighter at the european elections, your guide to how they work and the issues the parties are campaigning on. winds. chilly in the scottish glens. we'll be looking at how these elections will affect different areas in the uk too. one of the places gearing up for polling day is the south west of england. on friday is quite different filling let's take a look at how that day. more cloud and outbreaks of fared last time round. in 2014, voter turnout rain. there will be some sunshine, was almost 37%. it sent six meps to the best in central and western the european parliament, two conservative, one green, scotland. maybe northern ireland. one labour, and two ukip candidates. there will be low cloud and a few spots of rain. quite a breeze across let's cross to bath now, where our correspondent the north coast. it will feel cooler paul barltrop can tell us more. here certainly. but a cooler day for what are the issues? this is a all. friday nights turns wetter across scotland and northern england. quite windy too. very slightly surreal place for politics. we are at bath cricket club. in the different indeed. because of the

pavilion over there there has been a cloud cover, not quite as chilly as political rally taking place with it has been the last units. enter some of the big names taking part. the weekend, low—pressure nearby it they're making some of the big names taking part. they‘ re making a some of the big names taking part. they're making a big deal out of will be cloudy nearby. some spells this, have a look at this, they have brought their campaign bus to bath. of rain but it won‘t be completely this is a change uk making their big cloudy, there will be some sunshine. pitch for the votes, people who want here is the pressure chart showing to stay in the eu, people who want the area of weak pressure influencing our weather. we start to stay in the eu, people who want to remain, fora to stay in the eu, people who want to remain, for a peoples vote. because they have big competition saturday quite wet in parts of because the liberal democrats, very scotla nd saturday quite wet in parts of scotland and northern england and successful at local elections here, some of north wales. a bit of they also want a peoples vote and to sunshine for northern ireland. it remain, and the greens came ahead of the lib dems in the last eu will feel pleasantly warm in election, got one of those seats in northern england and wales. but could set off a few heavy if the european parliament and are keen showers. it will continue to be to keep hold of it. so for changes quite grey and cool across north sea it isa to keep hold of it. so for changes it is a big challenge to win the coast. sunday, we had this area of low pressure so it will state fairly pro—eu vote here. it is a big challenge to win the pro-eu vote here. how other parties supporting brexit fairing this time dry. outbreaks and showers across around? you are right, this is a northern areas. the best sunshine again will be central southern place where there was a narrow england. a few slow—moving showers.

majority, reflected overall the percentage across the country. so temperatures 19 degrees in the here in the south—west the brexit south—east little bit better north. party have made, it has to be said, a big impact as they have everywhere. the impression everyone gets a lot of talk about it, a lot of talk, a lot of interest in nigel farage, they will bring him here for an evil election rally next week. certainly signs their support is substantial. i was in the constituency with the strongest support for leaving the eu a few days ago and. they have their roots in the west country long time ago, they have struggled in recent years, but i expect they will still pick up something. and they are certainly still fighting determinedly. there is also one other party keen to get us is also one other party keen to get us out straight the english democrats fielding a couple of candidates here as well. time for a look at the weather.

this is the highlands of scotland which has had the best of the weather so far this week. this is a picture from today. let me remind you how hot it got yesterday, 25.8 celsius that is scotland's highest of the year so far. who says the south—east of england always has the highest temperatures? you know their tabloids sometimes say the uk is warmer than? were not too proud to copy them. shall we do the same thing? so what's it like in tenerife? just 21 degrees. shocker! talking about rome, remember when i said at the top of the hour, i tried to crack a joke, and i own or manage that because you gave me that

earlier! i thought i would try to get it in before you. i'm completely empty now, that is all i have. this isa empty now, that is all i have. this is a view from south—west of rome. this was early yesterday, a storm sloshing water through the streets. that is a lot of hail. it had to be skipped out of the way first thing yesterday. it just skipped out of the way first thing yesterday. itjust indicates that along with those cooler temperatures today at five — theresa may agrees to set a timetable for her successor once parliament holds its latest vote compared with the highlands of on her brexit plan in earlyjune. scotland, there have been some big next month the prime minister storms around that part of europe as will hold talks on her departure from downing street with the chairman on the well. conservative backbenchers — whether or not she wins her brexit vote. following that second reading, she and i will need to agree a timetable for the election of a new leader of the conservative party. remarkable pictures, thank you. we that‘s the position agreed by the prime minister and the 1922 executive. just them for you! we have had some storms in the south—east of europe, but the cloud and rain is starting and boris johnson — to edge towards us over the few one of the front runners

days. if you have had enough of the to succeed her — officially confirms for the first time that he‘ll be sunshine end you want to amend the a contender for the leadership. we‘ll have the latest from westminster. garden, you —— you might want some the other main stories on bbc news at 5... rainfor dramatic evidence from garden, you —— you might want some rain for the garden, you might be in a nurse at the inquests luck. we will be having more cloud around then recently, it is building in parts of england and wales. elsewhere hazy sunshine, temperatures down a little bit on the north sea coasts, but still 20 or 21 degrees, that is likely across parts of scotland. the best of the sunshine here, it is still warm. tonight, the cloud thickens in england and comes in from the east, it will bring some outbreaks of rain into wales by tomorrow morning. temperatures holding up the most pa rt temperatures holding up the most part but in some parts of scotland, the clearer parts, it will be starting to be freezing. the rain is pushing to parts of wales tomorrow, keeping cloud in england and wales,

further showers are possible, some reaching towards eastern scotland later in the day, the north west staying mainly fine and dry. the east or north—easterly wind will be stronger than recent days which means it will have more of an impact. with the chance of some cloud and a cool breeze, a cooler day. saturday shaping up like this, scotland, in the north—east and northern ireland seeing some outbreaks of rain, showers elsewhere, a lot of cloud, brightness further south you are in the uk. the temperature is around the uk. the temperature is around the mid to low teams, a bit warmer if you are seeing some sunshine. showers on sunday possible just about wherever you are on sunday, could be heavy with a rumble of thunder. brighter skies around the showers, spells of sunshine as well, and temperatures will creep back up.

there will be a light wind. away from the showers on sunday, in the sunshine, it will feel a bit warmer. that is the next few days and through the weekend.

this is bbc news, our latest headlines. the former foreign secretary boris johnson tells a business conference in manchester that "of course" he will run for the conservative leadership. meanwhile, theresa may meets senior conservative mps, as pressure mounts for the prime minister to agree a timetable for her departure from downing street. dramatic evidence from a nurse at the inquests into the london bridge attacks. helen kennett tried to save the life of this man and was stabbed herself. president trump bans the use of the chinese tech giant huawei in america over security concerns as britain re—considers its approach. the government announces a major shake—up of the probation service. the supervision of thousands of offenders is to be largely renationalised after past failings. sport now on afternoon

live with azi farni. good afternoon, azi. and in the last half an hour gareth southgate has named his squad for the upcoming nations league finals in portugal? yes, and the big news is that hurricane is in the squad despite not playing since the 9th of april when he injured his ankle. —— the big news is that hurricane is ruben loftus—cheek misses out after his injury in a friendly in the us yesterday which sees him as a major doubt for the europa league final. harry kane will be playing after he injured his ankle in april. we will find out more about a couple of players soon and then when make a few more decisions but we can change if we have injuries after that date. every chance that could happen. so we have got to make the best

possible decisions of the information we have. it's constantly moving. i went to bed last night and rubens was in the squad and playing brilliantly, and it's a huge disappointing to him, he misses a major european final and a big opportunity with us. england will face the netherlands in the nations league semifinal in the 6th ofjune, five days after the champions league final, and if they win that, they will face portugal or switzerland in the final three days later in porto. they might have just been crowned premier league champions but having broken financial fair play regulations manchester city could still face stern punishment from uefa? potentially facing a ban from the champions league next season, it is an investigation which started in march into allegations that city had broken financialfair march into allegations that city had broken financial fair play rules, that they had illegally inflated the value of multi—million pound sponsorship deals. they have been

referred to the adjudication. we don't know how long it will take. manchester city say they are disappointed but not surprised. there statement is very strongly worded especially towards the chairman of the investigation and they hit out on media leaks. they seem particularly confident of clearing their names, they say they have provided irrefutable evidence in the hope for a satisfactory outcome to this. azerbaijan sport's minister has defended the decision to stage the europa league final in it's capital baku on the 29th of may. chelsea and arsenal fans will have to travel almost two 2,500 miles and uefa has only given each club 6,000 tickets for the match. last week there were no direct scheduled flights between london and baku in the week of the final.

why that question, that appeared during the baku games but never other games in some cities of russia for the world championship, which is also too far from london, lisbon or madrid? i believe that next time when they will host such an event, never such a question will appear. i believe that everybody will be getting equated with our beautiful city and hospitality, they will be happy to be back again. golf's second major of the year, the uspga championship, is underway at bethpage black in new york state. tiger woods teed off in the last hour, chasing a second major title in a row after his win at the masters. victory here would move him back to the top of the world rankings. it's very early days at bethpage black in new york and here's how the leaderboard was looking a few moments ago. england's matt wallace with a joint share of the lead. northern ireland's graeme mcdowell is level par, while english pair

justin rose and tommy fleetwood are one over. danny willett tees off at around half past six this evening, as does rory mcllroy, who's aiming for a third us pga title. that's all the sport for now. borisjohnson has said he will run for the conservative party leadership after theresa may stands down. theresa may has been meeting the 1922 committee, there was a rumour that they would push for firm departure day. let's talk to vicky in the lobby. we are still awaiting the results of the meeting? yes, i think mainly what is being happening is graham brady is being chased around the building byjournalists to find out what's happening in that meeting. bloomberg is reporting some information, saying that theresa may has not set a date to step down and

will meet graham brady after the second reading of the withdrawal agreement bill. she has promised to bring that bill in, have a vote on second reading which would be in the first week ofjune. lots of people don't expect it to succeed that it seems, one source, not confirmed, has said that the implication is that if she were to fail at that point to make any progress or get that bill through, she would meet with sirgraham that bill through, she would meet with sir graham brady and set out a timetable to leave. that does not seem to be confirmed or as explicit as that but maybe everyone in the room will be reading that into it. we hope that graham brady will come and speak to mr some point to clarify this but it's clear that the pressure on theresa may has been enormous, for months if not years, she has failed to get her deal through. the conservative party is looking in trepidation at the european parliamentary elections, they are under pressure from nigel

farage and the brexit party, he feels that parliament the mps and the conservative party have let's down the people who voted for brexit. the opinion polls are suggesting he could do very well and the conservatives could have a very torrid night. that's what conservative mps are expecting, they're not even openly campaigning, they're not even openly campaigning, they do not even have a manifesto, that's the state they are in. theresa may seems to have bought some more time by saying she would bring forward this bill but it relies on doing some kind of deal with the labour party which is not looking terribly likely. not many people around here thinks that she can survive through the summer. but we have said that before and she stayed on, i think maybe she had realised that she has a fourth attempt doesn't get her deal through, that really would be at and the threat from the 1922 executive, almost a majority, not quite, would be that they were willing to change the rules of the tory party so she

could be challenged imminently. the rules of the tory party so she could be challenged imminentlym sirgraham could be challenged imminentlym sir graham brady appears behind you i will shout at you. but let's talk about something which does not come asa about something which does not come as a huge surprise but confirmation from borisjohnson that if there is a vacancy from borisjohnson that if there is a vacancy for a premiership and leader of the conservative party, he is upfor leader of the conservative party, he is up for it. that's right. he has confirmed that he would not —— he would stand if there was a vacancy. but he is trying to be loyal. it looks like theresa may could be walking out of the door over the summer. there are dozens of leadership campaigns, tory mps are being wooed, ta ken leadership campaigns, tory mps are being wooed, taken two meals, taken for drinks parties, one said to me, i'm not going to declare for anything because i can get a lot of free food and drink out of these people, as they all make their pitch to conservative mps. this is boris johnson today in manchester. bbc

news, the question, is it time for mrs may to go? would you do a better job on brexit, boris? time for another confidence vote? boris johnson was standing in 2016 against theresa may and the others but pulled out dramatically with no notice when michael gove withdrew his support. the thing about boris johnson among tory mps, he totally divides opinion. there is a massive group of them who will want anyone but boris, there is an anyone but boris campaign going on. on the other side one and he said to me, conservative mps only go to boris johnson when they are desperate and opinion polls suggest at the moment they could be pretty desperate. quick sweep of the lobby if sir graham brady is there? he's tall, i'd see him if he was here!

a leading british scientist says drugs designed to stop cancer cells becoming resistant to treatment could be available within a decade. professor paul workman, the chief executive of the institute for cancer research, says the new approach could make it possible to manage cancer as a chronic condition, and make the disease more curable. we can now speak to dr richard oakley from cancer research uk. is this as dramatic as it does appear? it's a very exciting announcement and great to see further investment into a real cutting edge piece of research, which could definitely lead to a real patient benefit. can you explain what it is so significant? it's about different cancers having different ways of reacting to treatment? it's the idea of tumour air pollution, tumours change every time so every patient needs to be treated individually. —— tumour

evolution. it's an idea of personalised medicine. it only come around in the last decade or so so to new exciting avenue of research. we gave a challenge team grant a couple of years ago, and that is one of the biggest challenges that we investigated and that is what we are doing. doctor, when you look at a newspaper front page which says, cu re newspaper front page which says, cure for cancer within ten years, really? here is a very strong word. —— secure is a very strong word. it isa —— secure is a very strong word. it is a global efforts to really understand the basic biology of cancer, by understanding that, we cancer, by understanding that, we can develop better treatment for patients and it will move a step closer to our goal of by 2024, three orfour —— closer to our goal of by 2024, three or four —— three out of four surviving cancer. research like this is going on globally, where does

this particular piece of research fitting? you're right, it's a global effort and it's great to see investment into the research of cancer and the development of treatments. this is a great announcement to support that. but it's going to take many people many yea rs it's going to take many people many years to understand and develop further, it's part of the journey, not the beginning of the journey. 0k, thank you very much. we are going to get the business news in a moment, first the headlines. the former foreign secretary boris johnson tells a business conference in manchester that "of course" he will run for the conservative leadership. meanwhile, under pressure to leave number 10, theresa may has faced senior conservative mps. a statement is due soon. a nurse has been giving dramatic evidence at the inquests into the london bridge attacks. helen kennett tried to save the life of this man and was stabbed herself.

here's your business headlines on afternoon live. travel firm thomas cook has warned of "further headwinds" for the rest of the year after reporting a £1.5 billion loss for the first half of the year. it said there was "now little doubt" that brexit had caused customers to delay their summer holiday plans. some of the loss was caused by the decision to write—down the value of my travel, the business it merged with in 2007. five banks have been fined just over one billion euros by the european commission after traders clubbed together to rig the foreign exchange market. the commission's investigation, which began in september 2013, revealed that some individual foreign exchange traders, using online chatrooms, exchanged trading plans and occasionally co—ordinated their trading strategies. hs2 will short change the north. that's the verdict from a group of peers today as they publish a report into the handling over

the controversial rail project. out of control costs, poor planning and flawed design were just some of the criticisms outlined, all of which the government says it fundamentally disagrees with. president donald trump has declared a national emergency to protect us computer networks from "foreign adversaries". he doesn't name the company but clear where it was directed. absolutely, huawei has been in the news recently a lot with regards to worries about security. now president trump has declared a national emergency declaring people as foreign adversaries. huawei has been under the spotlight in a number of countries, a report out in the uk today about whether it is safe to use huawei networks, the dutch in the netherlands are also conducting investigations. huawei has said that the people who will lose out from

this are us consumers and businesses, not chinese ones. is this true? reports suggest it could be because even without the us market, industry analysts suggest that huawei controls 60% of networks around the world. 40 to 6096 globally? yes, because its services are cheap and ubiquitous. let's look at the us point of view from the mirror. —— from the us stock exchange. what is a national emergency mean, when does it come about and what happens? technically, the national emergency begins the moment of the president made this announcement. that said, in terms of how this actually is executed, were not really going to know for another 150 days. the headline screams that the united states is taking strong action against any companies which could adversely affect american interests, that said, in terms of

enforcement, but will not come down until we see the rules, and the commerce department has said those rules won't come down for another 150 days. obviously huawei was not mentioned by president trump but it's pretty clear who they were talking about and it won't do much to ease tensions between these two countries which are already pretty high. exactly. i think countries which are already pretty high. exactly. ithink that's countries which are already pretty high. exactly. i think that's what's really important to consider here. to consider what's happening around this when this decision was made. china and the united states are in a bitter trade war for the last few days, we have been hearing from both chinese and american officials that, you know, we have the united states or we have china up against the ropes. there's a of upping the many people are —— a lot of upping the ante, and people are looking at this is that. i want to come back to your

point about who is going to lose out on this. one of the points to remember is that huawei is at the forefront of developing is five 6 technology, and the president has said he wants to see the united states be able to do that. but there are no tech companies in the united states that are really able to compete. that point, one american view is that there is no company which can compete with huawei in terms of this kind of technology just yet. always good to get the view from america, thank you. a pleasant surprise for one group of customers at a manchester resta u ra nt ? thankfully, that didn't happen. they got more than they bargained for and didn't realise. the manager of the hawksmoor restaurant in manchester said a group of diners went in for

dinner, ordered a £260 bottle of bordeaux, but instead of getting that, by mistake they were given a 4500 bottle of wine which they drank, unaware of how much they were drinking. the tweet says,... to the member of staff who actually —— accidentally gave it away, chin up, one of mistakes anyway and we love you —— one of mistakes happen and we love you anyway. do they? it will get everyone wanting to go to this restau ra nt get everyone wanting to go to this restaurant in manchester, the hawksmoor, in case it happens again! we are featuring this nationwide at 4:30pm! if you want to buy a bottle of that wine for me as part of my research, go ahead. a quick look at the markets. thomas cook shares down after some

disappointing figures. bt staff are going to get a pay—out of £500 in company shares, the new boss has said. what i to improve motivation as the firm continues to suffer from competition. so bt shares down, despite its competition. so bt shares down, despite it's tough getting some shares. thank you very much! now, i have just got shares. thank you very much! now, i havejust got some shares. thank you very much! now, i have just got some news, i think, just coming in here. this is about the 1922 committee. just waiting to hear from vicky, and the 1922 committee. just waiting to hearfrom vicky, and confirmation that the 1922 committee will meet to set upa that the 1922 committee will meet to set up a departure for the prime minister after the second reading of the withdrawal agreement bill in the week beginning june said. the prime minister will meet sir graham brady,

chairman of the 1922 committee, to set out a timetable for her departure after the second reading of the withdrawal agreement bill in the week beginning june three. that strikes me as a fudge, because we we re strikes me as a fudge, because we were expected to hear a firm date, there was pressure on the prime minister to be given an ultimatum by the 1922 committee by a firm date, that has been pushed back into what is now becoming a very important in the diary. june three, the fourth attempt by the prime minister to get her withdrawal agreement through parliament. it also coincides with the arrival of president donald trump in the uk, it's a bank holiday monday, so that week, is going to be a rather important one. we will talk to vicki a bit later on. the former australian prime minister, bob hawke, has died at the age of 89. he won four successive election victories, starting in 1983, making him the country's longest serving labour leader and achieved the highest approval ratings of any

australian prime minister. in more recent years, bob hawke became renowned for his tradition of downing a beer on camera at sporting events to cheers from the crowd. andy murray has collected his knighthood at buckingham palace more than two years after he was awarded the honour. sir andrew murray. for services to tennis and to charity. the three—time grand slam champion described it as a proud day. when the knighthood was announced in 2016 he said being known as a sir "sounded a bit strange", and he was more than happyjust being known as andy. time for a look at the weather — here's nick miller. another warm one out there across much of the uk. temperatures have come down a little bit compared to recent days. still quite a bit of sunshine to be had as we can see on

the satellite picture. the cloud in the satellite picture. the cloud in the western isles could be producing the western isles could be producing the odd isolated showers here, but more cloud arriving into parts of england and wales. not necessarily in the north yorkshire coast, a bit ofa in the north yorkshire coast, a bit of a breeze, but get an ice cream and enjoy the view. whether changes are on the way, low pressure taking over from are on the way, low pressure taking overfrom high are on the way, low pressure taking over from high pressure. are on the way, low pressure taking overfrom high pressure. so more cloud, additive wet weather at times, not necessarily a bad thing, we need something on the garden after the sunshine of recent days. the afternoon is shaping up with 20 of hazy sunshine out there. temperatures have come down a bit more on north sea coasts but still 22.5 in highland scotland this afternoon. not as hot as yesterday but very warm. eyes on some rain, overnight some outbreaks of rain reaching into england from the east, going to be patchy in nature. temperatures not down to father a few spots —— too far, but if you

spotin few spots —— too far, but if you spot in scotland. it pushes to england and parts of wales toward south—west england tomorrow. cloud and patchy rain following on behind, pushing into eastern scotland later in the day, northern and western scotla nd in the day, northern and western scotland and northern ireland staying fine. i have put the wind on, a strong easterly and north—easterly wind will call things further along eastern parts of the uk but 20 impact of the —— 20 in parts of western scotland. the wet weather on saturday is in north england, north wales and eastern scotland. turning showery elsewhere, the best of the sunshine across parts of wales and southern england. temperatures mid to low teens on saturday, so a bit cooler. on sunday, the wind will have eased, more showers in scotland but

possible just about anywhere. could be heavy with the rumble of thunder. but sunny spells around the showers as well. in a lighter wind and innovative sunshine, we will feel a bit warmer by the end of the weekend. some of the warmth into next week, but still the chance of catching a few showers.

hello, you're watching afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. today at 3pm. "of course i'm going to go for it," borisjohnson confirms he will run for the conservative leadership when theresa may steps down. let's hear from sir graham let's hearfrom sir graham bradley. sometime akai met with a prime minister this morning, we have agreed a possession and statements, which is to say that she is determined to secure britain's departure from the european union. that she is focused on securing the second reading of a withdrawal agreement spell and that that will ta ke agreement spell and that that will take place in the week commencing the 3rd ofjune. and that following that second reading she and i will meet to agree a timetable for the

election of a new leader of the conservative party. that is the position agreed by the prime minister and the 1922 executive. just to be clear, if they withdrawal agreement spell does not pass d expect the payments are to tender her immediate resignation? we have agreed to meet to decide a timetable for the election of the new leader of the conservative party as soon as the second reading has occurred. that will take place regardless of what the vote is on the second reading, whether it passes or whether it fails to pass. some say the implication is if it feels... that goes beyond what we have agreed and what i'm able to say today. we have an agreed position and agreed statement and i think it does give much greater clarity about the timetable which will be agreed for the election of a new leader of the conservative party. it was a very

frank discussion. i try to make sure all the views represent on the executive were expressed and we had a very frank exchange with the prime minister. no, we have reached an agreement. the statement that i have given you reflexes that agreement trainee prime minister and the parliamentary party. changes to the leadership roles, i understand there will be a subsequent meeting?” would never go into the details of what is discussed in a meeting, i cannot help you without. all i can say is that we have agreed a position with the prime minister and in terms of that agreement are now with you. was any reluctance on behalf of the prime minister around this agreement? we have agreed and you have the terms of that agreement. said graham brady who is chair of the 1922 committee of

backbench conservative mps. he had a one under half hour meeting with the prime minister trees in may. as he heard there, there is going to be a timetable for the departure of theresa may as leader of the conservative party in earlyjune. that timetable will be set out, so graham said he would meet mrs may again after the next vote. that is the week of the 3rd ofjune. so, the process of managing the departure of theresa may from the conservative party is, if you like, underwrite now with that announcement from sir graham brady. that is what they discussed and the firm time team table will be set out in the week of the 3rd ofjune. of course, we have also been hearing from boris

johnson, saying that he will run for that leadership when the prime minister leaves office. let us show you the press release... let us go to vickyjung are chief political correspondence. the processes is now definitely under way. yes, it is. there has been leadership campaigns up and running but this does not make it more imminent. ithink but this does not make it more imminent. i think the implication of this, according to one source, is that if that second reading of that withdrawal agreement bill, if that is successful, then theresa may would stay well it goes through its other parliamentary stages. there are many of them, so that could take several weeks. if it fails though,

at the moment we fight an agreement with labour that looks much more likely, then its eyes like that leadership contest would immediately be under way. so, leadership contest would immediately be underway. so, it leadership contest would immediately be under way. so, it is creeping toward a formalisation towards what i think most people here felt was very likely. if she cannot get that second reading through, which would mean it is the fourth failure, the forced time she will have tried to get to deal three and feel, then thatis get to deal three and feel, then that is the end of the road for the prime minister. it is not in the sta rkest prime minister. it is not in the starkest terms such as daphne going to go, but certainly i think some people in the room and promotes graham brady was saying, that is certainly the suggestion. that she would not be given another chance i had seen one tory mp who said there is absolutely no incentive night for any conservative vote for the deal, because it feels she fails or if she went she will go anyway. so, of course, this is all about authority, it has been for some time. as as the prime minister names a date, we do not have a date, but we have a processor, a sin as that happens the

authority does weigh in. it is going to bea authority does weigh in. it is going to be a helluva week that the 3rd of june, isn't it? we will have the vote and the state visit of the president of the united states, the d—day commemorations and now we may have the start of a leadership battle. yes, there have been lots of questions on how downing street think they will fit that vote in. on the monday, the parliament is not even setting. tuesday, donald trump and wednesday, carrying on with all of that. there is a state banquet that theresa may has to go to. thursday is commemorations were d—day and then we are looking really at the friday. at the moment parliament is not sitting on that friday, but of quest they can make that happen pretty quickly if they need to. already there was some doubts if it could take place, but downing street said that is the plan. it will happen that week, the big question now is whether it has any chance of success. we know those talks with labour are still ongoing

and this all adds to the problem that labour have with all of this. they have said, look, every time theresa may talks about the fact that she will move on and not be in thejob, they that she will move on and not be in the job, they worry that any deal they do with her was just not happen, because another toy leader will come in and read about any kind of proposal. so, it makes it even less likely that there will be an agreement between the government and labour. even though they are saying that there has been productive, serious talks. the problem is a dating think cherry is unable be out of the door byjuly, then incentive to do of the door byjuly, then incentive todoa of the door byjuly, then incentive to do a deal with her goes away. as we have seen before, in history, on a personal level for theresa may and announcement like this means her authority website by the hour. yes, she does not have much time left anyway. she has had a torrid time, getting her deals three has failed and she has been forced already to announce that she was reluctantly,

she said against what she would want to do, stand down earlier than the next general election. she had already been forced into that and i think she was understandably relu cta nt to think she was understandably reluctant to give a date. as we know, when prime ministers do that it becomes a real problem, because people know they are out the door. tony blair did it, david cameron did it, i do not think anybody would recommend it. she has been absolutely forced into this, there is so much facing her. there are dozens leaving the position, some others in their chances of leaving the party. today, we have boris johnson at an event in manchester asking if he would stand for the position for p has confirmed that he would stand even though there is not a vacancy would stand even though there is not a vacancy at the moment. behind—the—scenes, those campaigns are behind—the—scenes, those campaigns a re really behind—the—scenes, those campaigns are really up and running. we have cabinet ministers making speeches. it could all come quite quickly

before the summer. we haven't even mentioned the euro elections. no, thatis mentioned the euro elections. no, that is one thing on the mps mind. as ever they will be looking at those, they are under huge pressure from the brexit party. because of this geometry and parliament, it is allowed a brand—new political party led by nigel farage to be resurrected and seemingly top the polls if they are to be believed. it is causing huge pressure on the conservative vote, opinion polls suggesting he is taking from the conservative party. of course, it will hardly propose my chances as well. tory mps will be looking at that and thinking, look, we cannot deliver brexit. all of their seats are injeopardy deliver brexit. all of their seats are in jeopardy and that of course focuses peoples minds. one tory mp said there are a lot of people who do not like boris johnson said there are a lot of people who do not like borisjohnson and many tory mps will do anything but accept him asa tory mps will do anything but accept him as a leader. in the reality of all this, if they are desperate they

could well turn to somebody like boycejohnson, someone who has a wider reach around the country than some of the other candidates. it could just be that it is his moment. it is worth bearing in mind that for all those leadership candidates, if they get thejob, all those leadership candidates, if they get the job, they will have to deal with this. if we are no further forward , deal with this. if we are no further forward, how are they going to deliver brexit? the first thing they might have to do is go back to the eu and say, we mayjust need another delay. the inquests into the london bridge attacks have heard how helen kennett, an off duty nurse, tried to save the life of one of the victims. alexandre pigeard told her to leave him and to run for her life instead. when she was confronted by one of the attackers, the nurse asked him what was wrong with him and he then stabbed her in the neck. helen kennett told the old bailey there was empty souless evil in her attacker‘s eyes. jon donnison reports.

this is the moment alexandre pigeard first knew something was wrong, as panic began to spread through the borough bistro restaurant, alongside london bridge, where he worked. minutes later he would be dead. the 26—year—old frenchman had been living in london for two years. the court heard how, around ten o'clock at night, staff heard a loud bang when the three attackers crashed their van on the road above the courtyard where alexandre was waiting tables. the waiter went to see what happened. soon after, the attackers descended into the courtyard and he was stabbed in the neck and midriff. the court heard evidence from helen kennett, an off—duty nurse. she said she had had a few drinks, but as a nurse knew she could help. she described going to help mr pigeard, at first she thought he'd been caught up in an innocent car accident. then she saw the wound to his neck and one attacker holding the knife. she said she looked

into the assailant‘s eyes "what's wrong with you?", she said to him. "no, what's wrong with you?", he replied. he then stabbed her in the neck. helen kennett told the court she thought she was going to die. she tried to find her family, she said she didn't want to die alone. it was two hours before she got to an ambulance. remarkable evidence from this off—duty nurse. it is really powerful testimony yes. helen kennett was out celebrating her birthday with her mother her sisters. just having what was meant to bea sisters. just having what was meant to be a fun night out. she initially said she thought there was just a road traffic accident, she thought she could help. as she approached alexandre pigeard she saw him mouth to her no! just run. seconds later

she was attacked herself. we have also heard evidence to date from some of the customers. one customer said she was also celebrating a birthday in the borough bistro and she said when she saw one of the attackers attacking alexandre pigeard, she said he had a smile on his base. john, it has been very powerful testimony for many of those involved. hire families reacting? powerful testimony for many of those involved. hire families reacting7m is obviously very difficult for them. alexandre pigeard's mother was over here from france in court today along with other members of the family. most of the time she is just sitting out the translation provided. at one point she did wipe a tearfrom her eye. helen kennett i have to say is very strong in her testimony, but once it was over she to burst into tears. she thought she

was going to die. she suffered a severe injury to her neck, we heard she tried to find her mother and sister because she thought she was going to die she wanted to die by their side. thankfully, she managed to survive. she got help, but it took some time before they solid delay in terms of getting medical treatment. one customer also any restau ra nt treatment. one customer also any restaurant today said he had to walk right back across london bridge, before he got to an ambulance. wrightjohn, thank you. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines. the prime minister theresa may will agree the timetable for her departure from office after the vote on her brexit deal in the first week ofjune this lunchtime, the former foreign secretary borisjohnson says ‘of course' he will run for the conservative leadership when she steps down. a nurse has been giving dramatic evidence at the inquests

into the london bridge attacks. helen kennett tried to save the life of this man, and was stabbed herself. gareth southgate says ruben loftus—cheek will miss both chelsea's europa league final and england's upcoming nations league finals. southgate has named tottenham striker harry kane in the squad though, despite not playing since april 9th with injury. manchester city say they are disappointed but not surprised as investigators refer them to uefa's financial control body. they could face a champions league ban next season over breaches of financial fair play rules. and australia's nick kyrgios has been disquailified from the italian open, after an outburst which saw him throw a racquet and then a chair onto the court. as he packed his bags and left, the umpire awarded the match to norway's casper ruud. president trump has declared a national emergency to protect us communication networks from what he calls

"foreign adversaries". it's believed he's targetting the chinese telecoms giant huawei. several countries, led by the us, fear huawei poses a risk to their national security, because it's too close to the chinese government. here sir richard dearlove, the former head of m16, has said that involving huawei in britain's 5g network would be a "potential security risk" to the uk. peter bowes reports from washington. another fight with china. a foreign adversary whose telecom giant could pose a national security threat to the united states. in a statement from the white house, there is no mention of specific countries or companies — but it is clear the trump administration has huawei in its sights. the us will ban transactions posing an "unacceptable risk," with the president pledging to do whatever it takes to keep america safe and prosperous. this executive order with a long time coming. it is that huawei acts in many ways as an agent of the

chinese communist party. so, banning the type of activity that they do within our networks really makes a lot of sense. as the us and other countries develop 5g networks, this is a battle of new technology and security, on top of the trade war which has escalated in recent days. chinese companies can be pressured by the chinese government under the communist party. the question is, can customers of those companies around the world build their systems in a way that mitigates those risks, or is itjust too much of a risk? that is really a technical question that will vary from one application to the next. the us commerce department has said american companies will be restricted from selling their technology to huawei, which it has concluded is engaged in activities that are contrary to us national security or foreign policy interests.

we urge the united states to stop such a bonus practices and allow for normal cooperation between the two countries. let's avoid further impacts on the trade relations between china and the united states. in a statement, the chinese company said: with donald trump describing the impasse over trade talks as a little squabble, this latest clash over technology and security will further test deteriorating us—chinese relations. peter bowes, bbc news. and i spoke to our security correspondent frank gardner a litte earlier and he told me that it wasn'tjust the former head of m16 saying huawei posed a risk. the us and australia have been very robust about this. the us has warned

britain that if it goes ahead with using huawei then there could be limits and restrictions on what intelligence shared with britain. the government has made it very clear that they are still under review and they are not going to announce a decision until the end of spring, which cannot frankly be very far away. a decision has not yet been taken. a report key might today the introduction was made bytes are richard dearlove, the former head of m16. richard dearlove, the former head of mi6. in that report they list a numberof mi6. in that report they list a number of reasons why they say huawei is not to be trusted and the assurance that is given is not valid. things like for example, when we are told do not worry about peripheral infrastructure technology, that is not going to be pa rt of technology, that is not going to be part of the core, sensitive stuff. according to the report, there are bugs that can be put into that that can migrate into sensitive technology. this is way above my

technological pay grade, but there are other things which are deeply disturbing stops at four example, australian researchers shown that according to the report to the half—million people were spied upon in china using huawei technology. that's when i technology was installed in the african union headquarters for five years, every night between one and two in the morning it transmitted the data to servers in shanghai. on the other side of the coin, it is cheap and it is big, it is massive. so, for the consumer it is going to be cheap and intelligent chiefs have said that they think they can mitigate the risk. anything that china can do to find out what is going on they will do? that is the fear. isn't that a fa ct? do? that is the fear. isn't that a fact? while they have said we do not

spy. fact? while they have said we do not spy. no, but the chinese government is what i am talking about. sign is a surveillance state, of course they had their different values to what we have in britain. they are not a democracy, they do not believe in human rights in the same way that we do in the west. they have said they are prepared to sign a this binding agreement. they report that is out today says that does not hold water, because it is a national intelligence law in china that came out in 2017 which obliges companies to share information data and intelligence with state security if asked. labour has announced plans to re—nationalise the national grid for electricity and gas, to provide what the party says will be a better dealfor the public. national grid says the idea would delay investment. labour also says it would install solar panels on nearly two million

homes to generate electricity, as part of a new energy policy. labour's big increase in solar panels would build on community projects like this in south london, powering the lifts and communal lights in a block of flats and promising lower bills. it means some kind of energy, and clean one... local backers like fay say the savings are winning over other residents. some people — full stop — "i just want to pay less," and if they can also see that in their bill with the solar energy, how could they complain after that? labour says 1 million council and housing association homes would get the panels, saving £117 a year each on electricity bills, and there'd be interest—free loans and grants to help 750,000 other households install them. so this is what labour wants its green energy policy to look like, and it says that, to get this done quickly across the country, that's one of the reasons it wants to renationalise the national grid and the local electricity

distribution companies, with the current owners and investors probably getting back a lot less than they think those businesses are worth. labour would borrow to buy the grid back, but cut the amount paid by adjusting for what it calls asset stripping, despite warnings that it could be challenged in court for paying too little. parliament ultimately decides on the amount that's paid, and parliament may wish to decide on a number of considerations ranging from how much a company has invested in the network, how much they were subsidised by the government when they took over the industry from the public purse, if you like, many years ago, and how much tax they have paid. the national grid defended itself today, saying it was investing. we are exactly the same as any other company, so we are operating profits, pay taxes, pay interest on our dividends and the rest of the money is ploughed back in as reinvestment into the national grid and infrastructure investments.

labour is promising a green revolution and lower bills. the government says that renationalisation, if it happens, would saddle taxpayers with debt. simon gompertz, bbc news. president trump has given a pardon to the former owner of the daily telegraph, conrad black. lord black, a british citizen though born in canada, was jailed in the united states for defrauding investors and obstructing justice. he has described his conviction as a ‘complete sham‘. lord black has described himself as a friend of the president and recently published a book entitled ‘donaldj trump: a president like no other.‘ the travel firm thomas cook has reported a loss of one and a half billion pounds for the first six months of the year — and warned of more difficult trading conditions ahead. the company issued a fresh profit warning amid brexit uncertainty which it said has meant customers are delaying holiday plans. it also blamed last summer‘s heatwave here in the uk and high prices in the canaries for reducing customer demand for winter sun.

time for a look at the weather. good points, look at this. rarely does the uk looks so good. this is highland scotland, rarely is the uk so warm in may. today, around 22.5 according to the met office in northern ireland and scotland. yesterday, 26 or very close to it. they were mistakes of four in scotland. the uk isjointly holding that records, 25.8 is the highest temperature of the year so far. why would you go abroad? especially when you can find temperatures in a tabloid sort of way i will say considerably lower than 26 degrees. i had to find —— i had to do quite a lot of research to find these

numbers. i‘m not saying the weather was rubbish there by any stretch of the imagination, but from the canary islands to the spanish islands and greek islands, below 20s. high teens in rome, to warm for snow, but, yes, that we show you this. you do not often see snow like a river. this is a flood early yesterday, in a time 50 kilometres south—west of rome. this is hail that fell there being shovelled up. the latter and they had hail like that nero was caesar. that is the hail that they had to clear out of the way. the weather has been across parts of south—eastern parts of your comments

on the clouds and showers edging towards us. our weather is changing, i‘m not saying we will get the hailstorm but it is changing. edging towards us in the coming days is the chance to get some rain in the garden. some of us had noticed a bit more cloud around today, this is the view in derbyshire. that cloud has been building across wheels, some cloud in the western isles. i cloud in the west has made things very hazy, bit more of a rees. let us get back to the cloud and the rainbow. overnight across the eastern side of england, some light waves of rain moving in. later in the night that moves west towards wales. very patchy in nature, some of us will have highly anything and some of us may get something a bit useful. temperatures at the lowest impact of scotland, very close to freezing and a touch of frost in one or two

spots. rain foresight west england and wales, a lot of cloud coming in and wales, a lot of cloud coming in and the chance of fred a patchy being moving towards eastern scotland. new cloud site eastern scotla nd scotland. new cloud site eastern scotland under these england. similar story to northern ireland. strong north—easterly wind coming our way and feeling a bit cooler still tomorrow. but still in western scotla nd still tomorrow. but still in western scotland around 20 degrees, some of us here and elsewhere mid to. i know you‘re asking about the weekend, so here come saturday. the cloud is around, some white bits of rain in scotland, northern ireland and north wales. a few sunny spells south of that, may take temperature into the high teens. they went a slowly easing. very light winds and part two of the weekend, on sunday. showers break out though, some heavy and possibly thundery. there is some sunshine around these, in lighter

winds and some sunshine, it will feel a little warmer. temperatures are creeping up a little bit again through the weekend, as they went easy as you may see a bit of rain on the gardens. some sunshine some warm sunny spells at time, but still some showers around.

this is bbc news — our latest headlines. the prime minister theresa may will agree the timetable for her departure from office after the vote on her brexit deal in the first week ofjune. following that second reading she and i will meet to agree a timetable for the election of a new leader of the conservative party, that is the position agreed by the prime minster and the 1922 executive. this lunchtime, the former foreign secretary borisjohnson told a business conference in manchester that ‘of course‘ he will run for the conservative leadership. dramatic evidence from a nurse at the inquests into the london bridge attacks. helen kennett tried to save the life of this man — and was stabbed herself.

president trump bans the use of the chinese tech giant huawei in america over security concerns — as britain re—considers its approach. sport now on afternoon live with azi farni. good afternoon azi and in the last half an hour gareth southgate has named his squad for the upcoming nations league finals yes i met and the big news is that women love the streak is not in the squad. gareth southgate says he will also mess champions league final with chelsea in two weeks‘ time. he injured his ankle in a friendly in the us yesterday. harry kane is in the us yesterday. harry kane is in the us, despite him not playing since the 9th of april also that ankle injury. we will find out more about a couple of players and that period, and then i will have to make a couple of decisions. but we can change if we have injuries after that date, frankly there is every chance that is going to happen. . so

we have to make the best possible decisions with the information that we have and it is constantly moving. when i went to bed last night ruben loftus triggers in this god thing brilliantly, so a huge disappointed for him. england face the netherlands in the nations league semifinal on the 6th ofjune, just five days after the champions league final. if they win that they will face either portugal or switzerland in the final, three days later in porto. let us talk manchester city, premier league champions but potentially some issues to deal with. yes potentially abandoning season. it started with an investigation in march that city had broke financial rules, but today u efa broke financial rules, but today uefa has referred city to the adjudicatory chamber who will make a

final decision with some at uefa pushing for a champions league ban. we simply do not know the timescale. ac milan are under a similar investigation, which has been going on for months. other suggestions are this will be dealt with quickly. manchester city say they are disappointed but not surprised. their statement is very strongly worded, especially towards the chairman of this investigation. they also hit out at the media leaks, but they are particularly confident of clearing the name, saying they have provided irrefutable evidence and they hope for a satisfactory outcome to this. golf's second major of the year the pdsa championship is under at fh black. tiger woods is out, chasing a second major title in a low after his win at the masters. here is how the leaderboard was looking for seconds ago.

danny willett tees off at around 6.30 this evening, as does rory mcllroy, who‘s aiming for a third us pga title. nick kyrgios has been disqualified from his second round match the australian world number 36, was 2—1 down in third and deciding set, when threw his racket to the floor before kicking a water bottle and flinging a chair towards the centre of the court. the umpire then awarded the match to ruud. that‘s all the sport for now. the supervision of all offenders in england and wales is being brought back under public control. the government has decided to reverse the part privatisation of the probation service, introduced five years

ago by the thenjustice secretary chris grayling. the chief inspector of probation recently described the system as ‘irredeemably flawed‘. here‘s our home affairs correspondent danny shaw. he promised it would transform rehabilitation for offenders. chris grayling was the architect of the biggest provision shake—up in decades, allowing private firms to supervise former prisoners and peoples serving community to community services who pose a lower medium risk. but now the reforms are being scrapped. it was a mistake and chris grayling has to share responsibility for that. he thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, we pleaded with him not to do it or at least pilot some of the schemes first. he flatly refused and pushed it through to satisfy his own agenda costing the taxpayer hundreds of millions of pounds. inspectors said mr

grayling‘s idea was irredeemably flawed and people would be safer with the public sector in charge. they were concerned offenders were not been properly supervised and we re not been properly supervised and were unable to access courses to help them turn their lives around. very chaotic to say the least. i would turn up to appointments and the worker would not be there or it would be a different worker. or they would be a different worker. or they would not be expecting me. in some cases. under the new system, offenders will be monitored by the national probation service in 11 regions. the private and voluntary sectors will provide drug misuse programmes for offenders but there will be no payment by results, a key element of chris grayling‘s approach. one aspect that has not worked, i accept that is payment by results. there are complex reasons why that is the case, some of that is to do that they could caseload

have been very different from what is anticipated. david cox is the system of supervising offenders will increase public safety. it will be introduced in england in 2121 and wales this year. but the current providers have been told it could ta ke providers have been told it could take four years until the service improves. they are concerned the new setup will become fragmented with offenders more likely to slip through the published net. now the prime minister has agreed to set a timetable. the chairman of the conservative backbench1922 committee, sir graham brady made the announcement in we have agreed to meet to decide on a new new leaderfor the conservative party once the new reading has occurred. and that will ta ke reading has occurred. and that will

take place whether or not the new reading passes or fails to pass. some people are saying if it fails she resigns. that is beyond what we have agreed and it is beyond what i am able to say today. we have an agreed position, an agreed statement, and i think it does give a much greater clarity about timetable which will be agreed for the election of a new leader of the conservative party. how would you describe the meeting? it was a very frank discussion, i try to meet your all the views expressed by the executive were expressed. and we had a very frank exchange with the prime minister. we have reached an agreement, the statement i have given you reflects that agreement between the pie minister and the party. our westminster studio is dr catherine haddon from the institute for government.

it would appear that if she loses this vote, she is out. if she wins it she can perhaps buy more time? possibly, we are waiting to hear the all important discussions about the timetable. that is partly about that very question, about how long she would have if she did get it passed. would she be able to get more brexit completed in order to leave that gain of legacy for her? but also it will be a big consideration for any future leadership candidates about how quickly they can get through the leadership contest and take office, whatever that may be. you can imagine justifying the exchange was, basically 1922 committee does not know have to change the rules to force out early? and they seem relu cta nt to force out early? and they seem reluctant to do so partly because as we we re reluctant to do so partly because as we were hearing they did not want to necessarily change the rules just for one occasion and leave another

precedent in place for future for one occasion and leave another precedent in place forfuture prime ministers. but the pressure they we re ministers. but the pressure they were under had clearly got too much and they said we will have too much and they said we will have to do this if you do not agree to a timetable for her departure. looking at the week we are talking about, the 3rd ofjune. parliament does not set on monday, president trump arrives on tuesday and by the end of the week we should have had the vote and may well have had the start of a leadership campaign. and that is what we were discussing your mac early last week. how quickly would we get through this? when would they publish this so people could start looking at it? there are various stages to taking it through parliament that are very important given it is such a huge piece of legislation. parliament will want to dojustice to legislation. parliament will want to do justice to it. legislation. parliament will want to dojustice to it. it legislation. parliament will want to do justice to it. it is going to legislation. parliament will want to dojustice to it. it is going to be a very busy week certainly. i suspect it will be something they need to take a bit more time over but we will wait and hear in the coming weeks as to how that works

out. all—importa nt is coming weeks as to how that works out. all—important is whether or not there is any chance of it getting through, things may change if it comes apparent that there isn‘t. through, things may change if it comes apparent that there isn't.” am wondering, if she loses the vote for the fourth time of asking, how quickly could there be a new prime minister in place after that? that is difficult to tell, in theory if there was only one candidate they could be in place almost instantly. but we do not expect that to happen. we expect a few candidates which will make a difference. first of what they have to do is it goes through a period of empty voting, and candidates will drop out with the least votes each round. usually it takes a few days to do each vote but they may be altered at more rapidly and get it done injust but they may be altered at more rapidly and get it done in just a matter of days. after that, go to the membership and get them to vote. the likelihood is that will take three weeks to a month. so you‘re

looking at merely the start of the summer recess before a prime minister can be in place. normally these things take three months but i suspect they will want to do it much quicker than that. with everything going on, brexit negotiations and all that we have spoken about for months, on top of that we will have the chaos of this as well? absolutely. we had the local elections, we have the european elections, we have the european elections to. so we‘re back to that period of rolling action happening. now it will go back to the house of commons chamber, and then the conservative party. but the roller—coaster does not seem to be ending any time soon. how much do you know about the european elections and how much they

mean to the noted kingdom? the european union, a club of 28 companies and yes the uk is still one of them. so let us head to brussels we are at the heart of the you are three institutions. firstly the european commission. it is the executive of the eu it streams up plans for the european laws and implements others, the european council and the european parliament. the council of the eu as we are government ministers meet up to discuss amend and adopt laws and coordinate policies. and then there is the european parliament it meets yourin is the european parliament it meets your in strasbourg and france. and the one that that is directly elected by us. so, how big is it? well, there are 751 meps elected from all corners of the eu, with 73 of them coming from the uk. but here is the rub with these elections —

they only happen if you are a member of the eu. and by now, the uk wasn‘t meant to be, but it is, and so they are on. meps will be elected to represent 12 chunks of the uk. here‘s how it looked in two bits of the uk in 2014. firstly, in scotland, and then also in the south—east of england. now, the election uses a proportional system to work out which parties and candidates are successful. in scotland, wales and england, parties choose a list of candidates in each area and voters just choose a party. or any independent. things are a little different in northern ireland, where voters list candidates in order of preference. let‘s take a closer look at the result last time. that was five years ago. ukip won more seats in the uk than anyone else, followed by labour and then the conservatives. ten parties in total won seats representing different parts of the uk.

turnout was 34%, but loads has changed since then, not least of course, the eu referendum in 2016. and we‘ve also seen, watch this, the collapse of ukip. 24 seats last time round, all the way down to just three when the parliament dissolved. this time round, there are two new parties clamouring for attention, the brexit party, and change uk, with opposing views on our departure from the eu. and one final thought: what on earth happens if we go through this whole shebang and then the uk leaves? well, our 70—something beaming, victorious meps might be out of a job before they even start. so yeah, these elections are just a tad odd, but they could prove crucial in shaping the political weather and so determining everything from how long theresa may

last as prime minister to what on earth happens with brexit. theresa may agrees to set a timetable for her departure from office after the vote on her brexit deal in the first week ofjune this lunchtime the former foreign secretary borisjohnson says ‘of course‘ he will run for the conservative leadership when she steps down. a nurse has been giving dramatic evidence at the inquests into the london bridge attacks. helen kennett tried to save the life of this man — and was stabbed herself. here‘s your business headlines on afternoon live. five banks have been fined just over1 billion euros by the european commission after traders clubbed together to rig the foreign exchange market. the commission‘s investigation, which began in september 2013, revealed that some individual foreign exchange traders, using online chatrooms, exchanged trading plans

and occasionally co—ordinated their trading strategies. travel firm thomas cook has warned of "further headwinds" for the rest of the year after reporting a £1.5 billion loss for the first half of the year. it said there was "now little doubt" that brexit had caused customers to delay their summer holiday plans. some of the loss was caused by the decision to write—down the value of my travel, the business it merged with in 2007. staff at bt are to get a pay—out of £500 a year in company shares.the awards are meant to improve motivation as the firm continues with a difficult turnaround plan. britain‘s largest telecoms company is in the midst of laying off 13,000 workers as its seeks to cut costs. the shares will go to bt staff around the world, but will need to be held for three years before they can be cashed in. it‘s national mental health week

and one report suggests mental health in the workplace is affecting how we leave ourjobs? new research released today by global recruitment specialist michael page reveals the real reasons workers in the uk quit theirjobs — and negative workplace culture, leading to employees feeling excluded, is a majorfactor. more than a quarter of british workers have lied to their bosses when they leave theirjob — and that figure rises for younger workers, ethnic minority and lgbt according to the study of more than 2,000 british workers, one third leavejobs because they didn‘t think they were being paid enough, a fifth didn‘t feel valued in the workplace and 15 % said theirjob negatively impacted their mental health. yell or worrying statistics. how worrying are these figures? everyone likes to think they know their employees and have an open communication about why they would wa nt communication about why they would want to be there why they want to leave. but that is not the case. it

is quite worrying how many people live. why do they like? i do not think they can be themselves, inclusion is such a powerful thing that only people who are truly included feeling they are valued and supported and can be honest about themselves. what are the reasons, themselves. what are the reasons, the real reason is that people leave theirjobs? i think you multitude of reasons. generally you leave an environment rather than job. so perhaps your manager or how you're being treated. you talk about diversity in the workplace and how many firms are taking on all the diversity, but are ignoring inclusion. what is the difference? diversity is how business looks. your representation of gender, lgbt plus, and the inclusion part is more powerful which is about how the

individual feels. what i think is difficult is if you have employees who can bring every part of himself to work, you have a much better environment. they can bring all of themselves to the job, they can perform better, they can have a much better attitude. if you are in an environment that does not allow the differences to be embraced, they believe part of it at the door and suddenly that is not going to have don't like anyone. yell or what can employers do to improve the expense of their employees within workplace? there are so many things. you can think about how you are supporting people in that population. in some cases that may be gender, international women's day, pride month, mental health week is this week of course. so for us we are sharing profiles, we have meditation centres, and yoga. we have something called a page poz which is where you

chat to your colleagues. we have quite rims table tennis, there are lots of things you can do is to support people. ultimately employees and employers understand the importance of mental health at work. do you think that we have quite a way to go in terms of society, thinking about ways forward? absolutely. i think this is the tip of the iceberg. communication is getting better, awareness is getting better there is an off along with to go. if those stats from the survey are representative of everyone, there are not a lot of people not being open. thank you very much. yell or i want you to take a look at thomas cook, we are talking about travel company talking about brexit. people are definitely not booking as many foreign holidays but also it suffered a loss caused by the

decision to write down the value of my travel. a company it merged with in 2007 bt share price is down and the london market is down 0.5%. a leading british scientist says drugs designed to stop cancer cells becoming resistant to treatment could be available within a decade. professor paul workman, the chief executive of the institute for cancer research, says the new approach could make it possible to manage cancer as a chronic condition, and make the disease more curable. our medical correspondent fergus walsh explains we have known about this for years, but scientists at this centre are

looking at ways of trying to find drugs that may help combat this. putting £75 million in, it sends a, a lot of money editors, but when you cancer drug probably cost £1 billion to develop. so we are utterly dependent. we are waiting on big pharma to come up to come up with tens or even hundreds of billions of pounds to come up with. the general trend we have seen is using more targeted treatments for cancer and to turn it into a more chronic manageable condition we cannot cure it. andy murray has collected his knighthood at buckingham palace more than two years after he was awarded the honour. the three—time grand slam champion described it as a ‘proud day‘. when the knighthood was announced

in 2016 he said being known as a sir "sounded a bit strange"— and he was more than happyjust being known as andy. tv presenter chris packham has received his cbe medal from the prince of wales in a ceremony at buckingham palace. he was appointed a cbe in the new year‘s honours for his services to nature conservation. after receiving his medal he said he is keen to continue his work in conservation. i would not say i was proud of this, i see if you‘re proud of something yourjobis i see if you‘re proud of something yourjob is done. for me thejob was not done, it is not about crossing the line, getting our cap or award. i will have to continue to strive to make positive process throughout the course of my life. i have a lot of catching up to do. on my watch, we have suffered an enormous amount of damage out there any environment that i care so much about. what is significant, and what i am pleased about, is that it has been given for services for nature conservation. all too often people like myself do

not get these sorts of awards. equally i think i‘m taking this for a team, an enormous team of people who work a lot harder than i do. out there every day to try and improve a lot of our wildlife and habitats. now before the weather — some dramatic pictures of two window cleaners at work in oklahoma city they had a terrifying experience when their basket swung out of control while attached to the city‘s tallest building, the devon tower. it‘s not known how the lift came adrift but the workers managed to grab a rope and secure the basket which was swinging 50 floors above street level. windows were shattered, but thankfully there were no injuries. time for a look at the weather... here‘s stav da naos. it was a glorious day yesterday, widespread sunshine, up and down the uk and it felt warmer too. it was

scotla nd uk and it felt warmer too. it was scotland again who had the highest temperatures. in the highlands saw 26 degrees making it the warmest day for scotland so far. they will be a cooler strong easterly breeze to develop across the uk. that will feed a bit of cloud into central and eastern areas as the afternoon wears on. meanwhile, we also have a weather front close to the west of the uk. that is generating some cloud and a few showers to a better cloud and a few showers to a better cloud east and west of the country. eastern areas will see the best with the highest temperatures across scotland. a little bit lower across england and wales. this evening we lose the showers across the west mean see figure cloud and outbreaks of rain pushing from the east across england and wales. with the cloud cover, more of a breeze and it should be a mild one with the few choice pots and scottish glens. a different feeling day tomorrow, a

killer date and breezy. more cloud, outbursts of rain for england and wales, some bloke wrote or cloud some grey weather across scotland and wales, it will cloud further into the afternoon. limited sunshine. lower temperatures, probably the best of the sunshine for western scotland and parts of northern ireland. for this weekend, more unsettled, low—pressure and more unsettled, low—pressure and more clouds, some showers with light winds. it will be breezy across the northern have of the company. you can see outbreaks of rain pretty much scattered across the uk thanks to this area of low pressure from. for saturday, quite wet across parts of scotla nd for saturday, quite wet across parts of scotland and northern england. made into north wales as well. sunny spells generally for england and wales, some heavy slow—moving showers, some even thundery. the best of the temperatures here, cooler further north and much cooler north across the north sea coast. sunday a similar story, lots of cloud and outbreaks of rain across

the north. sunshine across england and wales which could set off some heavy slow—moving showers again. again best temperatures in the south—east and cooler in the north.

hello, everyone. this is afternoon live. theresa may has formally promised to set a timetable for the election of a new prime minister after the next brexit vote in the first week ofjune. if she loses, sources have told the bbc she would resign. one senior source said it would be ‘inconceivable‘ for her to carry on after another defeat. the news came following a meeting with the senior conservative group, the 1922 committee. the chair of the committee graham brady made this statement after the meeting. we have agreed to meet to decide the timetable for the election of a new leader of the conservative party is in the second reading has occurred. that will take place regardless of

what the vote is on the second reading, whether it passes or whether it fails. some say that if it fails, she resign. that goes beyond what we agree and what i‘m able to say today. we had an agreed position, and a great statement and i think it does give much greater clarity about the timetable which will be agreed for the election of a new leader of the conservative party. | new leader of the conservative party. i would you describe the image of that interview? it was a very frank discussion. i try to make your views represented on the executive were expressed and we had a very frank exchange with the payments. it was not a disagreement, we have reached an agreement. the statement that i have given you reflexes that agreement between the prime minster and the parliamentary party. our chief political correspondent, vicki young, is in the houses of parliament.

we are talking about the beginning of the end of may and the first week of the end of may and the first week ofjune? do not give these people, simon. theresa may bought yourself some extra time by saying she would bring the withdrawal agreement bill. that is the legislation that would define the law that is about how we the eu. that is due to happen that week of the 3rd ofjune. the question is, what happens if it fails to get three? certainly, many of those in the room at that meeting and the indication and what downing street sources are suggesting, is that issue out of these, then, yes, she would stand down. most people felt she would be forced to do that anyway, but that site as though she has agreed to a timetable for her departure either way. if her deal, the vestige of praxis were to get through. in that sense, she will be

going and they will be a leadership contest. she will know and i think why she has resisted putting a date on all of this, as any authority she does have left willjust evaporate. once people know that a prime minister is out the door in a few weeks‘ time, there is very difficult for them to survive and have any say in what is going on. one tory mp earlier said to me there is nowt no incentive at all for anybody to vote for this deal, so those sceptics who we re for this deal, so those sceptics who were persuaded and cajoled and had their arms twisted to support her deal, why would they do that now? they feel as if they do not have to accept in that they hate and she will probably go anyway. they said this is the negotiating strategic skills of coco the clown. we will have to see what action happens engine. in terms of that leadership contest, not a massive surprise, but borisjohnson is contest, not a massive surprise, but boris johnson is going contest, not a massive surprise, but borisjohnson is going to be taking

part. such a mac yes, that is right. he has been open about it for the first time. those leadership challenges are up and running, they had been up and running for quite some time. tory mps are being wooed with breakfast, lunches, dinners, drinks and hearing from all of the can the dates this is a room full of really big brains. they have been reminding me forthe really big brains. they have been reminding me for the last two days hi intelligent they are. you want the job? i am going to go for it, of course i‘m going to go for it. i do not think that is any particular secret to anybody. but, you know,

there is no vacancy at present. that was borisjohnson there is no vacancy at present. that was boris johnson speaking there is no vacancy at present. that was borisjohnson speaking at an eventin was borisjohnson speaking at an event in manchester chaired by our very event in manchester chaired by our very own event in manchester chaired by our very own g edwards. let us discuss what has been going on with the conservative mps. this sounds as though theresa may is going to be gone by the summer recess either way. it signs that way. i think the 1922, the scope of mps who are in a position of trying to decide what they will should be, whether to change the bills. they were in a difficult position today. i think they probably got this about right. better not change the rules for one specific incident, because otherwise the wheels are changed for good. it is right, i think, to bring the source i get to a conclusion, when theresa may has opposite agreed to do that. is there an incentive? as one mp said there is no incentive to vote for this? why would they bother? it has no chance of passing at all. so, whether on not people

will vote for it we are reading at the figures. we have tested them three times and it has not got close. it will not be any closer probably more distant this time. you are right, there is no real point to this. i feel like this is theresa may being able to say i have tried everything, i have exhausted every possibility. i suspect this is a little bit of her trying to say, i wa nt little bit of her trying to say, i want to make sure i am here just a little bit longer than gordon brown was. she will reach that at some point soon. what about her successor? they going to have to deal with the same problem. so, different leader, same problem. that is true. we had the same make—up of parliament, but i do not agree with people who'd set new leader would have done it differently. it cannot be any different with a different leader. if i have a failing school in my constituency what is the first thing they do? they sent for a super

head. a new head teacher, somebody who will take exactly the same classes of peoples, but change that school around. usually within three years to see schools go from being failing to doing quite well. with a bit of time and energy and the right leadership taking place it can make a big difference. running a country is no different. put the right team in place and that starts with the right leader, you will get different outcomes. finding that leader is the next big deal. i am sure that will occu py next big deal. i am sure that will occupy the party next big deal. i am sure that will in next big deal. i am sure that will occupy the party going into the summer. boris johnson has been open saying he will apply for that vacancy. saying he will apply for that vacancy. if he were to get it, the first thing he would have to do is go to the eu assay he needs another delay to brexit. i think it is really important for the party now to have a leader that actually supports brexit in the first place. lama supports brexit in the first place. i am a roomy and voters i'm not saying this because it is the way i voters, i have been chiming of this party, i think that the party having trusted leader he was a voter, he

then said brexit means brexit and all the rest of it and that turned out not to be the case. i do not think the party will want to trust that again. i suspect it will be looking for a lever, whether it is borisjohnson or not looking for a lever, whether it is boris johnson or not the first job have to be to set out a new approach towards answering the question. actually, if you start from the point of the red lines which were particular ones that theresa may happened to pursue from immigration and everything else, if you that, it opens upa and everything else, if you that, it opens up a whole load of possibilities. back to square one. not by describe an. as a lot of people have said here, if we knew what we know now, somebody is that to argue for a second referendum, i do not think you have to back to square one, but i think any leader could set at a much more positive vision for britain in the future. one thing! vision for britain in the future. one thing i have not heard in three years for the current prime minister

for example is how can this be better today if we are not tied to some of the bureaucracy of europe? i think that is a massive area for a future leader to flashlight. no, i do not think it has to be the same as it is today. i think we could have an exciting future as a country, but you have to have somebody who will go right and positively sell activision and also work out how we can reach an agreement with the eu. once you do not have those red lines, which stops us from doing certain things, perhaps you can then find the solution to it. so, those leadership campaigns are up and running behind—the—scenes and that is only going to get louder now that we all think and certainly conservative mps think and certainly conservative mps think that theresa may will be gone in the next two months. joining us now via webcam is theresa may‘s former spokespersonjoeyjones.

joey, the meeting between theresa may and the 1922 committee was described as very realistic. which basically means they said to her if you lose the vote for the fourth time you have to go. yes, i imagine that actually will be pretty crushing. she has been trying to cling on and part of the reason for that i think has been based on the idea that she felt that nobody else had better vision for muddling through than she did. yet, here she is going to be utterly bereft, she will have to curl front the fact that she will not have anything really to take away from the wreckage of her premiership at all. you know, simon, ithink it wreckage of her premiership at all. you know, simon, i think it might move quite quickly. i do not think there is much point in progressing towards a vote that she is certain now to lose. she already built the meaningful vote once when she thought she was going to lose belly substantially, this would be catastrophic even. let us not forget

that they are supposed to be talks going on at the moment. there are talks going on with the labour leadership. i do not see the point in talks withjeremy corbyn on the basis that she will not be empowered to administer any sort of deal that she could conjure up. i would have thought that labour would peel away from the stocks pretty rapidly. the scores on the doors will become very evident. we may move into this process more swiftly than in 1922 and the prime minister have agreed this afternoon. do think she may just eight look, there is no point in the vote and try to do something on her terms. at the moment, she has no control over everything. why would you do it? you would have to bea would you do it? you would have to be a masochist basically. it will be com pletely be a masochist basically. it will be completely humbling. last time around remember there are people like borisjohnson who actually supported her. self evidently that is not going to happen this time. i

just do not think there is a chance in hell of the labour party actually going along either. even some of those labour mps who have been inclined to try and get it over the line, the whole powerpoint that that‘s the downing street strategy has try to suggest there is some sort of cliff edge coming up, that theresa may has authority to define and decide the next months. that is self—evidently not the case. i think once that things in, it will not ta ke very once that things in, it will not take very long for it to sink in in westminster, people will be scratching their heads and wondering why you would want to go through that in the coming weeks. the option she has is to say i will do this on my terms, she comes out on the steps of downing street and says i resign now. i think that would be seen as reckless. i mean the conservative party and the nation i think would reproach herfor doing

party and the nation i think would reproach her for doing something that would be, which through the whole country into complete chaos. joey, the country is incomplete chaos. the country is in paralysis at the moment. it is not any sort of utter chaos that would be the result of something like that. she has basically committed herself to some sort of a transition. now, it may not like that transition but it does at least lead the way towards somebody else coming in and taking over the reins. where shejust somebody else coming in and taking over the reins. where she just to throw in the towel i do not think people would be very forgiving. throw in the towel i do not think people would be very forgivingm course, she has the euro elections next week. this lie does she not just cut and run now? that was her demeanour, she would have done it before. look, ido demeanour, she would have done it before. look, i do think it will be crushing for her and i think that at some point the whole thing will probably crowd in on her that she is

not going to be able to take anything away from this period as prime minister. nobody is going to thank herfor the prime minister. nobody is going to thank her for the incredible prime minister. nobody is going to thank herfor the incredible hard work, the work at the coal face that she has put in. that will be very, very tough. but knowing her sense of duty, commitment to the party and all the rest i just duty, commitment to the party and all the rest ijust think duty, commitment to the party and all the rest i just think that for her to chuck it all in and through it allup in her to chuck it all in and through it all up in the air does go against the character of the person that has obviously that i came to know. joey, thank you. the foremost foreign secretary boris johnson says of course he will run for the conservative leadership and theresa may steps down. a nurse has been giving dramatic evidence into the inquest of the london bridge

attacks. gareth southgate says ruben loftus—cheek will miss both chelsea‘s europa league final and england‘s upcoming nations league finals. the midfielder injured his ankle in a friendly in the us yesterday. manchester city they are disappointed but not surprised as investigators refer them to the financial control body. they could face a champions league ban season over breaches of financial therapy bills. the australian player has been banned from the open, after throwing a racket and chair onto the court. i‘ll be back with more in the story just after half court. i‘ll be back with more in the storyjust after half past. the inquests into the london bridge attacks have heard how helen kennett, an off duty nurse, tried to save the life of one of the victims. alexandre pigeard told her to leave him and to run for her life instead. when she was confronted

by one of the attackers, the nurse asked him what was wrong with him and he then stabbed her in the neck. helen kennett told the old bailey there was empty, souless evil in her attacker‘s eyes.. jon donnison reports. this is the moment alexandre pigeard first knew something was wrong. as panic began to spread through the borough bistro restaurant alongside london bridge where he worked. minutes later he would be dead. the 26—year—old frenchman had been living in london for two years. the court heard how around ten o‘clock at night staff heard a loud buying when the three attackers crashed their van on the road above the courtyard where alexandre pigeard was waiting tables. the waiter went to see what it happened, soon after the attackers descended into the courtyard and he was starred in the neck and midriff. they quite heard evidence from helen kennett, an off—duty nurse. she said she had had

threat to the us. in a statement from the white house, there is no mention of specific countries or companies, but it is clear the trump administration has huawei in its sights. the us will ban transactions posing an unacceptable risk, with the president pledging to do what it takes to keep america safe and prosperous. this executive order was a long time coming. it‘s well known that huawei acts in many ways as an agent of the chinese communist party, and so banning the type of activity that they do within our networks really makes a lot of sense. as the us and other countries develop 5g networks, this is a battle over new technology and security on top of the trade war which has escalated in recent days. chinese companies can be pressured by the chinese government and the communist party. the question is — can customers of those companies around the world build their systems in a way that

mitigate those risks or is it just too much of a risk? and that is really a technical question that will vary from one application to the next. the us commerce department has said american companies will be restricted from selling their technology to huawei, which is engaged in activities that are contrary to us national security or foreign policy interest. translation: we urge the united states to stop such erroneous practices and create conditions for normal trade cooperation between enterprises of the two countries, and avoid further impact on the economic and trade relations between china and the united states. in a statement, the chinese company said: restricting... with donald trump describing

the impasse over trade talks as a little squabble, this latest clash over technology and security will further test deteriorating us chinese relations. peter bowes, bbc news. labour has announced plans to re—nationalise the national grid for electricity and gas, to provide what the party says will be a better dealfor the public. national grid says the idea would delay investment. labour also says it would install solar panels on nearly two million homes to generate electricity, as part of a new energy policy. simon gompertz has more. labour‘s big increase in solar panels would build on community projects like this in south london, powering the lifts and communal lights in a block of flats and promising lower bills. it means some kind of energy, and clean one... local backers like fay say the savings are winning over other residents. some people — full stop — "i just want to pay less," and if they can also see that

in their bill with the solar energy, how could they complain after that? labour says 1 million council and housing association homes would get the panels, saving £117 a year each on electricity bills, and there‘d be interest—free loans and grants to help 750,000 other households install them. so this is what labour wants its green energy policy to look like, and it says that, to get this done quickly across the country, that‘s one of the reasons it wants to renationalise the national grid and the local electricity distribution companies, with the current owners and investors probably getting back a lot less than they think those businesses are worth. labour would borrow to buy the grid back, but cut the amount paid by adjusting for what it calls asset stripping, despite warnings that it could be challenged in court for paying too little.

parliament ultimately decides on the amount that‘s paid, and parliament may wish to decide on a number of considerations ranging from how much a company has invested in the network, how much they were subsidised by the government when they took over the industry from the public purse, if you like, many years ago, and how much tax they have paid. the national grid defended itself today, saying it was investing. we are exactly the same as any other company, so we are operating profits, pay taxes, pay interest on our dividends and the rest of the money is ploughed back in as reinvestment into the national grid and infrastructure investments. labour is promising a green revolution and lower bills. the government says that renationalisation, if it happens, would saddle taxpayers with debt. simon gompertz, bbc news. breaking news we are getting from danny shaw who says that all landing

cards from international passengers to britain are being scrapped from monday. they home office has told us the news in the last three minutes telling us it will no longer be a requirement from any passenger of any nationality to complete a landing card. that was scheduled to happen injune, as well as allowing them access... unions have voiced their concerns about the expansion of egypt and they are worried the move to scrap all landing court cards will begin security and immigration policies. so, no landing cards for international pasture to britain from monday. we‘ll have more on that later on. president trump has given a pardon to the former owner of the daily telegraph, conrad black. lord black —— a british citizen though born in canada — was jailed in the united states for defrauding investors and obstructing justice. he has described his conviction as a ‘complete sham‘.
