a penalty from mo salah and a late goalfrom divock origi took the side into the historic victory. heavy rain and snow are hampering the search for eight climbers, including four people from britain, who are missing in the himalayas. boxer anthonyjoshua has suffered a shock defeat, losing his three world titles in new york to underdog andy ruinunior. and coming up on bbc news — carrie gracie looks ahead to president trump's state visit and the race for number 10 with a panel of guests — that's in dateline london at 11:30am. good morning and welcome to bbc news. president trump has made another intervention
11:02 am
into british politics, saying the uk should be prepared to leave the eu without a deal. in an interview with the sunday times, mr trump said that if britain did not get what it wanted in talks with brussels, it should "walk away". the us president has made the comments ahead of his arrival in the uk tomorrow for a three—day state visit. our poltical correspondent susana mendonca told us more. this is donald trump we're talking about and he is delving into politics yet again, so what he's saying today is he is basically saying if britain does not get what britain considers to be a fair deal, it should walk away from a deal with the european union, so effectively promoting the idea of a no—deal brexit, which might go down well with some who are advocating that as a realistic option. but for others they would see this as an unnecessary intervention. but notjust that — he is also saying that nigel farage, the leader of the brexit party, should be brought into negotiations between britain and the european union, which is unlikely to go down well with the conservatives because of course the brexit party came first in the european elections. they took a lot of conservative votes but here we have donald trump
11:03 am
basically saying that they should have a seat at the top table when it comes to those negotiations. we could work on it very, very quickly. there's tremendous potential of trade with the united states. they wanted to do trade but they've never had a president like me. do you think a matter of months or...? i would go all out and it would be a great advantage to the uk. there's an opportunity, of course, in donald trump's eyes, if britain left without a deal because it has an implication for trade between the us and the uk. exactly, and you have donald trump there talking about this potential for a trade deal with the us. for him, we know he is someone who does not like having to do trade deals with big countries, so you see him having his trade war at the moment with china, with mexico, and he is uncomfortable with the european union, so the idea of britain leaving
11:04 am
the european union it would be trading with a smaller partner, so, from donald trump's perspective, you can see what the benefit of that would be and for those who are talking about britain outside the european union doing deals with big economies, here we have donald trump saying that within months of britain leaving the eu, he would be willing to do a trade deal so they can play it to their favour, those calling for a no—deal brexit. in the past hour, the us ambassador to the uk, woodyjohnson, has been speaking to andrew marr, referring to donald trump's friendly relationship with borisjohnson. he has known boris for a long time so he has known boris for a long time so he is commenting on his knowledge of boris as a person and all the meetings he has had with boris. he said it is not an endorsement.
11:05 am
conservative leadership contender andrea leadsom says that if she becomes leader and prime minister she will take the uk out of the european union by october 31st, without any further extension to that deadline. mrs leadsom told the andrew marr show parliament would not be able to block the uk's exit. in terms of what parliament can do, the new leader, which could be knee, makes clear we will not have an extension, so the option is to revoke article 50 or no confidence the government. with sensible measures that all parliamentarians on citizens‘ rights and movement of goods, i honestly believe that this plan is workable and very specific and very detailed. i have given it a huge amount of thought and i believe leaving at the end of october is what people want to see happen.
11:06 am
former universities minister sam gyimah has announced he is entering the tory party leadership race. he‘s the 13th candidate and he says he is in favour of a public vote on any brexit deal. here he is now. a second vote, for many people that would look like an attempt to thwart brexit. that is not what i am about at all. we should look at the choice in front of us. the deal that may make negotiated, which is the only deal out there, has been heavily defeated several times and is not going to get through parliament. in this leadership contest we have seen all the candidates bunching around no deal or to say that somehow they can reawa ken the no deal or to say that somehow they can reawaken the deal that is dead. iam standing can reawaken the deal that is dead. i am standing to broaden the race to see if the choice is between no deal and revoke the way to break through
11:07 am
this and pass and get things moving could be a second vote. it is not what i wanted as my first preference. it is not what anyone else wanted but it is either that or belief without a deal which would be an abject failure. another referendum. what with the question be? it is binary with a referendum. it cannot contain all those subtleties. what would you ask? we have to have a referendum that brings the country together and although i disagree with that i will have no deal on the ballot paper, i will have theresa may‘s deal and i will have theresa may‘s deal and i will have theresa may‘s deal and i will have remained. there are two ways to deal with it. either you have a transferable vote system or you have leave and remain end of the country you have leave and remain end of the cou ntry votes you have leave and remain end of the country votes leave you have a second that where you go for theresa may‘s deal or no deal. second that where you go for theresa may's deal or no deal. what about michael gove‘s idea of asking the eu
11:08 am
27 to extend article 50 in the hope that you can revisit with a fresh pairof that you can revisit with a fresh pair of eyes, with a fresh leader involved, get a different deal? we are in danger of getting into asking for lots of extensions. we have already had to have them. the fundamental choice does not change which is left the eu will not open the withdrawal agreement then we are either leaving without a deal as andrea leadsom wants to do we have to give the people another stay. she is saying she would live by the 31st of october if there was not a deal. they know deal idea has been endorsed by president trump when he was asked in a newspaper interview ahead of his visit tomorrow. he is confident britain would be fine and he would be in the queue to do a deal with as quickly, a trade deal. president trumbull put america first. if i become the conservative
11:09 am
leader i will put britain first. i do not think other interests are served with other neighbours. i do not think we should pursue a course that would in all likelihood led to the break—up of the united kingdom because whatever the mandate for the referendum was it was not a mandate to break up our country. why is it writing? but the donald trump comments where you do not pay the money so comments where you do not pay the money so we would not be delivering on other obligations. he said walk away and if you walk away from a deal often you stick with your current deal rather than go for no deal. that is literally what his comments mean. i know this is rude to ask it but if you are not to be successful who would you endorse? who would you not work with?” successful who would you endorse? who would you not work with? i would find it very difficult to work on a
11:10 am
conservative cabinet whose purpose was no deal. when you see who would i endorse assuming that i would somehow not be successful this is a wide—open race, let‘s see what happens, i knowi wide—open race, let‘s see what happens, i know i am the underdog of the underdog. we have to focus on the underdog. we have to focus on the choice because if we do not focus on the reality of the choice in front of as we risk doing what has happened in the last six months where we said to the public we are going to live on the 29th of march and it did not happen, where the said theresa may‘s deal would pass and it did not. if we repeat that trust in politicians will go down even further and people will get more disillusioned. i am standing foran more disillusioned. i am standing for an honest and robust debate about the realities of brexit that we face. there are no easy options here but leadership is notjust about winning a popularity contest. it is also sometimes about being willing to lead on things that might
11:11 am
be unpopular but take a stand. thank you. liverpool have become european champions for the sixth time, after beating tottenham in last night‘s champions league final. the reds won the game in madrid 2—0 to givejurgen klopp his first trophy as liverpool boss. our correspondent david ornstein was at the game. back in possession of the trophy they have come to love the most, a club defined by european success doing what they do best. the one thing missing from liverpool‘s resurgence under jurgen klopp was silverware. now they have a piece — arguably the greatest of the lot. fans converged on the spanish capital in tens of thousands, for only the second all—english final, but no sooner had the teams taken to their stage than the drama began, liverpool given a penalty
11:12 am
inside 30 seconds. moussa sissoko punished for use of the arm, mohamed salah merciless from the spot. and he scores. and liverpool make the perfect start. spurs simply had to raise their level, and finally they did. though a combination of acrobatics and some poor finishing cost them dear. it‘s moments like these on which these ties often turn, and so it was when divock origi settled the outcome. an unlikely hero on the journey here, perhaps it was fitting that the belgian should have the last say, creating a sea of celebration, more history for liverpool. tonight is really emotional, that is my main feeling. overwhelming, all that stuff, it feels really good,
11:13 am
but i am much calmer than i thought i would be when it finally happened, so it was not important to me really to touch the cup, or whatever. i love the pictures when the boys had it, i loved it when i saw some faces in the stands, that is what gave me everything i need. well, it wasn‘t a spectacle many hoped for or an amazing advert for premier league football, butjurgen klopp and his players won‘t care less. for tottenham there will be questions, especially over the future of boss mauricio pochettino, but, as for liverpool, they are no longer the nearly men, but champions of europe. anna holligan is in central madrid, where fans have been celebrating all night. and all morning. they are starting to ta ke and all morning. they are starting to take their luggage, their memories and some hangovers back to the uk. it has been an incredible
11:14 am
24—hour zen madrid where they have been competing for the most important piece of silverware in world football. people have been talking about how the game perhaps didn‘t live up to those impossibly high expectations but what will go down in the memory says the behaviour of fans here. the english fa ns behaviour of fans here. the english fans changing the reputation of english fans abroad. their behaviour has been impeccable. their camaraderie on the whole. rivalries aside. we have some fans with us. liverpool fans. let's talk about six! how are you feeling? over the moon. it has been anything to have my friends and my son here. a moment you can never take away. do you think the fact this is the first all
11:15 am
english champions a decade and more —— macro final in more than a decade has helped the solidarity? yes. you have other english people coming over so we can have other english people coming over so we can all engage with each other. what did it feel like last night? when the final whistle blue? fantastic. i was in kiev last year and it really hurt when we did not win. we knew we were going to win when we scored the second goal. relief. thank you, and have a safe journey back. we have seen a picture of the squad who are backing on —— back on the plane already heading back on the plane already heading back to liverpool for a celebration on the streets at 4pm today. this is love the pope sixth time they have won this most important trophy ——
11:16 am
liverpool‘s. the positive message from the club, they have said the journey was incredible and anemones will live us forever. that goes for pretty much everyone in the city. for clarity, they were singing let‘s talk about six! the headlines on bbc news: donald trump has again intervened in british politics, saying the new conservative leader should be prepared to walk away from the eu without a deal. former universities minister sam gyimah says he is standing in the conservative leadership contest to replace theresa may. he is the 13th candidate to enter the race. liverpool fans celebrated into the night after their team‘s champions league victory in madrid.
11:17 am
sport and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good morning. the big question today is what next for anthonyjoshua after he was stunned in the early hours of the morning, one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight boxing history. joshua knocked out by andy ruinr in the 7th round at madison square garden. it‘s the first defeat of his professional career with the mexican taking joshua‘s ibf, wbo and wba world heavyweight titles from him. our reporter ade adedoyin is in new york for us. not many countered that it would be anthonyjoshua who would be defeated. in his eagerness to finish the fight he ended up getting caught with a big punch. he looked really u nsettled with a big punch. he looked really unsettled and dropped twice again on the seventh round before the referee stopped it. a stunning upset, one of the biggest in boxing history. what does he do now? his promoter says he
11:18 am
would like him to exercise a rematch clause. joshua says he would like to face the on the wilder. then tyson fury early next year. the earliest anthonyjoshua will fury early next year. the earliest anthony joshua will be fury early next year. the earliest anthonyjoshua will be able to face either man will be late next year. he has a lot to figure out what went wrong. what a performance for his opponent to make history by becoming the first mexican heavyweight champion of the wealth and he said his life will change forever. anthonyjoshua was his life will change forever. anthony joshua was supposed his life will change forever. anthonyjoshua was supposed to make a big splash at this iconic venue that has featured some of the greatest fighters in history. they did not have the ending he expected. it is my fault. i have to deal with it. i got caught on the top of the head and did not recover in time. it did not work out. i need to tidy up and go again. this is part of a
11:19 am
journey that i am on. this is boxing andl journey that i am on. this is boxing and i have to re—evaluate the situation and make it better and go again. idid situation and make it better and go again. i did not come this far to stop. to fold under pressure. i came thus far and stop. to fold under pressure. i came thus farandl stop. to fold under pressure. i came thus far and i feel like we can definitely go a lot further. decent fights on the undercard in new york last night. callum smith floored hassan n‘dam three times in three rounds as he defended his wba super—middleweight world title and ireland‘s katie taylor completed herjourney from olympic gold to undisputed women‘s lightweight world champion with a highly controversial points win over delfine persoon. liverpool‘s players are on a flight back from madrid as we speak flying into liverpool airport for this afternoon‘s parade where they will show off the champions league trophy to thousands of their fans. hugh woozencroft is still in madrid for us. the mass exodus from the spanish capital is under way, it‘ll be quite
11:20 am
a party on the team plane. around 150,000 fans have been in the jet over the past 48 hours and half of those will be travelling back to the uk. they have begun in earnest as have the victorious team, liverpool, taking their sixth european title. they will parade in front of their fans later. jordan henderson was on the plane looking very relaxed, feet up on the trophy. the team tweeting. the captain is bringing it home. a message for their waiting fans. that parade will start on the outskirts of the city and end along the waterfront alongside the mersey method. it will bea alongside the mersey method. it will be a fantastic day for their fans from around 40. seeing the european cup delivered back to liverpool.l slightly different flight home for spurs but they can hold their head
11:21 am
high. they have had a really good season and a new stadium and are probably going to sign some players in the summer. yes. it is sad to see an english side lose the champions league final. of course we have a winner this year. tottenham‘s first final ends in defeat. their manager, the question is whether they can hold onto him. he is very highly rated. plenty of clubs around europe will be looking at him in the future. he wants money to spend to add quality and if it comes he could be there for some time but after five years he is still empty—handed so it is back to the drawing board. it‘s day four of the cricket world cup, and south africa face bangladesh at the oval. south africa are bowling after winning the toss. there were worries tamim iqbal wouldn‘t be playing for bangladesh due to injyry, but he‘s fit and he made a strong
11:22 am
start, hitting a pull shot through mid wicket forfour to bring the 50 up. but andile phehlukwayo took his wicket when he came into the attack. bangladesh are 71—1 after 10 overs. i‘ll have more in the next hour. the search for eight climbers missing in the himalayas is expected to resume in the next few hours. the group, which includes four britons, began the climb up india‘s second highest mountain, nanda devi, almost three weeks ago, but failed to return to base camp. rebecca hartmann reports. it is known as one of the toughest climbs in the himalayas. at an imposing 7000 metres, nanda devi is the second highest mountain in india, and now eight climbers are missing three weeks after they started to climb. the aim of the expedition was the east peak of nanda devi, which lies close to the border with china. they were to take a route along the north—east ridge, which has never been
11:23 am
successfully climbed before. it is very technical, meaning you are notjust walking on a path, you are using ice axes, when it is icy it might turn into rock when you have to climb differently, so you are using multiple skills at one time to scale the mountain. it is a very challenging mountain even by its more common route. this is a mountain that has only seen 13 or 14 successful expeditions since it was first climbed in 1936. the rescue effort had to be paused due to harsh weather conditions. local officials fear they may have been hit by an avalanche. this comes at the end of what has been a particularly deadly climbing season in the himalayas. at least 11 people have died on the nepalese side of mount everest so far this year. many have blamed overcrowding for the high death toll after this photo showing heavy crowds taken at the summit went viral. the university of york have put out a statement this morning
11:24 am
saying... "we can confirm that one of our lecturers, dr richard payne, "travelled to the himalayas on holiday and we remain extremely "concerned for his safety." let‘s speak to mountaineer alan hinks. he knows the himalayas incredibly well and has known the expedition leader martin moran for 40 years. you know martin moran who is leading this group that we are concerned about. tell us about him as a mountaineer. he is a massively experienced mountaineer. virtually every hail worker in britain will have heard of him. he lives in scotland. he was the first man to climb them man rose and went on a single round. he has a wealth of experience. i cannot see how much of an experienced mountaineer he has. it is worrying news. they have been
11:25 am
missing two or three days. given his experience, what does that tell you about the severity of the situation this group is then that we have not heard from them for all this time?|j am heard from them for all this time?” am still holding out hope because people can go missing in the himalayas for a week. you can get trapped and you might have to take a snow hole and survived several days but the monsoon is moved again, which is very heavy rain, and it is dumping the amounts of snow and bad weather in the mountains. we are worried there is an avalanche involved and no matter how experienced you are the mountain does not know how experienced you are or that you are an avalanche expert. the avalanche protection is not that accurate, it is a bit like meteorologists. there is still hope. you got stuck in the himalayas at one point. yes, i have been stuck in
11:26 am
the himalayas not farfrom one point. yes, i have been stuck in the himalayas not far from where this cemented boys and we trapped for seven days. other friends left us for seven days. other friends left us for dead and handed other passports and to the british commission but we survived in ten days later we arrived back. that is another reason i am holding out hope. the weather will be getting worse with the monsoon u nfortu nately. worse with the monsoon unfortunately. martin is one of the most experienced mountaineers in the world, a lovely guy, strong and experienced. we are hoping if anyone can pull it off he can with the team. we talk about the himalayas is that there is some kind of homogenous area but i imagine the differences between each of the peaksis differences between each of the pea ks is enormous. differences between each of the peaks is enormous. yes. a huge area. encompassing tibet, nepal, india, pakistan. in the western himalaya
11:27 am
into pakistan the monsoon will not have hit there yet but it is starting to encroach into this part of india making the worse and the monsoon will be moving up everest. to put that photograph into perspective, there will be nobody on everest probably until april next year. it is only a bit of an anomaly on one 200 people. we appreciate you talking to us. we hope to get some good news soon. a cruise ship appears to have lost control while it was docking in venice this morning. the msc opera can be seen here crashing into the wharf and hitting a tourist boat. those on the quayside began running away as the ship scraped along the dock with its horn blaring, before knocking into the tourist boat. local media say two people have minor injuried, while another two are thought to have been taken to hospital for check—ups. a leading democratic nominee in the us 2020 presidential election
