this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 3pm... the deal—maker gives his verdict on dealing with brexit — president trump on the eve of his arrival in london says the uk should be prepared to leave the eu without one. 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 win the greatest prize in european football. they are now back home for a victory parade this afternoon. just one hour to go before the parade begins and already many, many people are lining the route to making sure they are in a good position to see the trophy and the players and jurgen klopp as they pass by. heavy rain and snow is hampering the search for eight

climbers, including four people from britain, who are missing in the himalayas. a cruise ship lost control as it was docking in venice, crashing into the wharf and hitting a tourist boat. boxer anthonyjoshua has suffered a shock defeat — losing his three world titles in new york to underdog andy ruinunior. and coming up a little later on bbc news — the week's best interviews and reports from the victoria derbyshire programme. good afternoon. president trump says the uk should be prepared to leave the eu without a deal. his comments to the sunday times come ahead of his arrival in the uk tomorrow for a three—day state visit.

the issue of brexit is dominating the race for the conservative leadership, and today another mp came forward to become the 13th candidate for the role. our political correspondent susana mendonca reports. state visits are not supposed to delve into politics but this is donald trump. not only has he suggested that the uk government include the brexit party leader nigel farage in its negotiations with the eu he is also advising britain to opt for a no—deal brexit if it does not get its way. i would not pay $50 billion, that's a big number. it's a big number. if you don't get the deal you want, if you don't get a fair deal then you walk away. the us president's views could be seized on by some in this ever—growing line—up of conservative leadership candidates for a contest in which the debate has centred of leaving with no deal versus delaying brexit to do a deal. the former leader of the house has

been putting more meat on the bones of her plan today which sounded a lot like no—deal although she is calling it something different. i have a three—step plan for a managed exit which i believe is workable. i've been advocating it in government for some time now and i think it's based on the premise that number one we have to leave the eu at the end of october, and number two the withdrawal agreement bill is dead. the home secretary who is keeping no deal on the table for his bid is promising a digital solution to irish border. i would make a grand gesture, a grand offer to ireland that we would cover all their costs, the upfront costs and the running cost of a new digitised border, i think it can be done in a couple of years but we would cover their costs. the health secretary matt hancock who says a no—deal brexit is not realistic is suggesting a time limit on the irish backstop and a new free trade deal with the eu. the latest wannabe prime minister to join the fray is throwing another referendum into the mix.

the former universities minister who quit over theresa may's withdrawal agreement says he wants to broaden the debate. if the choice is between no—deal and revoke then the way to break through this impasse and actually get things moving could be a second vote. that's 13 candidates so far trying their luck in a race that doesn't officially begin until theresa may formally steps down. and that will be after donald trump's been and gone. liverpool have arrived back on merseyside following their champions league final triumph last night. they stepped off the plane atjohn lennon airport. jurgen klopp‘s side beat tottenham 2—0 in madrid to be crowned european champions. the parade is due to begin through the streets of liverpool in about an hour. our reporter stuart flinders has

been giving us the latest from liverpool, where the parade is due to start within the hour. just one hour to go before the parade begins and already people are lining the route making sure they are ina lining the route making sure they are in a good position to see the trophy and the players and jurgen klopp as they pass by. we are by the docks in liverpool. that is albert dock you can see there, quite a big crowd gathering there to watch the parade. people are here from all over the world. i have been talking to some german fans who hadn't been able to get tickets for the final. they flew in to watch the match last night and they flew in to watch the match last nightand a they flew in to watch the match last night and a stayed to see the trophy being brought through the city. the banner sellers have been quick off the mark and have already added madrid 2019 to liverpool's other trophy winning years. this party really began last night. 0nce trophy winning years. this party really began last night. once that second goal went in meaning that the match was pretty much beyond spurs' reach, that is when people began to celebrate. wandering through the

streets draped in red, greeting each other with loud cheers and big smiles and many people literally partying until they dropped. a lot of people slipped outside lime street station last night waiting for their first street station last night waiting for theirfirst train back street station last night waiting for their first train back home. street station last night waiting for theirfirst train back home. and 110w for theirfirst train back home. and now they have to go again stop the liverpool players and management landing back in liverpool about two hours ago now and they are back ready to get back on the bus and begin the parade which starts at apm. we will hear more from stuart flinders through the afternoon. heavy rain and snow are hampering the search for eight climbers, including four britons, who are missing in india. the group had been trying to climb the country's second highest peak — nanda davey — but failed to return to their base camp on friday. officials say there were signs of an avalanche on the mountain. angus crawford has the details. more than 25,000 feet of ice and rock — nanda devi, india's second highest peak. now, eight climbers, including fourfrom the uk,

are missing after reports of bad weather. it's thought they planned to take on another peak in the range never climbed before. it's a very challenging mountain even by its... i can't even say easiest route, but more common route. this is a mountain that's only seen 13 or 1a successful expeditions since it was first climbed in 1936. on friday, when they failed to return, the alarm was raised. the rescue hampered by rain and snow. one of those confirmed missing is academic dr richard payne from the university of york. the expedition leader is martin moran, a hugely experienced mountaineer. yeah, well, i'm still holding out hope, as people can go missing in the himalayas for a week. you can get trapped, and then might have to dig a snow hole and survive for several days. but the monsoon is moving in now, which is very heavy rain in the indian lowlands, and then it's dumping fresh amounts of snow and bad weather in the mountains.

we are worried that there is an avalanche involved. the search mission, abandoned due to bad weather, will start again tomorrow. angus crawford, bbc news. the university of york have put out a statement this morning 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." the family of the expedition leader, martin moran, have issued a statement this afternoon. they say... "we have been informed that an air search by helicopter has revealed "the scale of the avalanche, but no sign of the climbers, "their equipment or their tents. "we are pressing for the search area to be widened and continued." meanwhile officials have said four other british climbers have been rescued from the same area of the himalayas. the group were airlifted to safety after being spotted early this morning at a base camp near nanda devi. the three men and a woman were not part of the larger group, but had been keeping in touch with them via radio — and last spoke to them a week ago.

police in northern ireland say they have begun a cross—border investigation after a bomb found under a serving police officer's car at a golf club in belfast. the discovery yesterday afternoon forced the evacuation of the club while army bomb disposal experts made the device safe. police say they suspect dissident republicans planted the device and that the incident is being treated as attempted murder. let's talk to mark simpson who attended the police briefing earlier. they said this is a very worrying incident given that it happened in east belfast, an area very afflu e nt happened in east belfast, an area very affluent leafy suburb of belfast only about a mile from police headquarters quite close to stormont. lots of golf clubs in the area. notan stormont. lots of golf clubs in the area. not an area where people thought that dissident republicans we re thought that dissident republicans were active. but just thought that dissident republicans were active. butjust like they were in londonderry or derry six weeks

ago with the murder ofjournalist layer and the key, here we are 70 miles away in belfast and they may be small groups but groups have been active in recent weeks. i am just back from a news conference at police headquarters. the assistant chief constable george clarke was speaking and here's what he had to say. we are extraordinarily fortunate that we are not talking about the murder of a police officer, of members of his family or indeed members of the public. placing a bomb that has been planted recklessly, cruelly and viciously under his car. the attempt to murder a police officer is an attempt to murder a public servant. and i cannot understand what cause is advanced by attempting to murder a man who, day in, day out seeks to serve this community.

the people that carried out this attack deserve the absolute condemnation of all right—thinking people. they have nothing to offer anyone, except for more suffering and more loss. that was assistant chief constable george clarke. there are around 6000 police officers across northern ireland, and they have all been warned today to be extra vigilant given what happened at that golf clu b given what happened at that golf club in east belfast at around this time yesterday. very powerful reminder, isn't it, that the threat to police officers remains and the potential threat the people have taken a little bit for granted, certainly on the side of the water for some years now. what about that, the kind of political vacuum? because we heard this big fresh initiative was coming after the murder of thejournalist initiative was coming after the murder of the journalist last month and the politicians were going to meet after the local council

elections were out of the way at the beginning ofjune. has there been any sign of progress? very little to stop you make a good point. i know you have been over here to belfast and you will remember the ceasefire is 25 years ago, the good friday agreement 21 years ago, and i think all of us who lived here didn't think we would still be in this situation whereby we are talking in recent weeks about a murder of a young journalist and the attempted murder of a police officer. but if you look at the situation at the moment across northern ireland, it is quite unstable as you cite, political deadlock, no stormont now for more than two years within the police, a new chief constable about to ta ke police, a new chief constable about to take over, so a little bit of uncertainty there as well. finally i suppose the big uncertainty in terms of the big picture, dominating these islands, brexit and what that is going to mean for the border between northern ireland and the republic. but one thing i should say is that this police investigation into what happened in east belfast yesterday is very much a joint investigation

between the forces of belfast and dublin because it looks as if a dublin because it looks as if a dublin car was used in the attempted attack and as things stand, cooperation between the two forces north and south has never been better. but mike mark simpson our ireland correspondent thank you very much. the home secretary, sajid javid, has said the number of migrants attempting to cross the channel to reach the uk is "deeply concerning." yesterday, 7a people on eight boats tried to make the crossing when they were intercepted by the uk border force off the south coast. a criminal investigation is now underway. a cruise ship has hit a tourist boat as it was docking in venice harbour this morning. the msc 0pera can be seen here moving towards the dock and hitting the other boat. those on the quayside began running away as the ship scraped along the dock with its horn blaring, before knocking into the other vessel.

four people were slightly injured. mercifully nothing more serious and a bit of in paris went and a bit of repair work to do. simon skinner is on holiday in venice and told me what he saw. this vessel did seem to be going a lot faster than the normal cruise ships. it had tugs as normal to the front and rear but when we were watching it it was clear that it was off course and it was like a slow motion disaster, crashing into the wharf. it was very fortunate that the ship crashed into the dock because if it had gone further it would have crushed the smaller vessel. 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 win the greatest prize in european football — they are now back home for a victory parade this afternoon. and in sport... anthonyjoshua is no longer world heavyweight champion. he lost all three of his belts to john ruinunior at madison square garden. the mexican knocked him down four times before the fight was stopped in the seventh. johanna konta is the first british woman in 36 years to reach the french open quarter—finals. she beat donna vekic in straight sets. bradford bulls are facing halifax for the last place in the challenge cup semi—finals. the latest from 0dsall stadium... 4-0 to 4—0 to the bills. back with an update on the next hour.

more now on brexit, the issue which has dominated british politics for the last three years. both the main parties are losing support, with the brexit party and the liberal democrats benefittng. does this point to a re—alignment in british politics? to look at the issue in more depth i spoke to professor matthew goodwin, the author of national populism: the revolt against liberal democracy, and asked him what he thought was going on. brexit is the issue, a massive issue. the risk for both labour and the conservatives now is brexit is pushing us into a full realignment of british politics, that labour are getting hit by the liberal democrats in remain territory but by the brexit party in leave territory. the conservatives are getting hit across the entire landscape losing support in both remain territory and leave territory. for the first time we are now

seeing outsider parties, challenger parties, the brexit party and liberal democrats actually ahead of the two main parties in the opinion polls, nothing short of remarkable. at a stage of great instability, but what about the politicians who say it is all very well but once brexit is done, after a few months things will settle down and they will fall back into the old patterns. that is the great hope for the main parties. the million dollar question is what type of brexit is done? if it is a soft brexit, very close alignment with the eu, how will that sit in the harder brexit conservative territory? 0n the other hand if it is a no—deal, a very disruptive departure from the eu, how will that sit within more conservative remain territory where the liberal democrats are now nipping at the heels of the conservatives. so we don't really know what effect

this is going to have and i think the million—dollar question is is brexit a temporary disruption to british politics or is it the beginning of a permanent new dividing line between leavers and remainers. presumably part of the lesson of history is these lines are not apparent early on, it takes a long time for the parties to reshape themselves. i think that is right. if you look at what is underpinning this divide that we can see, for example, working class, struggling left behind communities that are now realigning behind parties like the brexit party, but we are seeing university graduates, university towns, middle—class professionals turning away from the mainstream parties for the liberal democrats. brexit didn't create all of this but brexit is exacerbating the underlying social divides that i would argue have been building in british society for 30, a0 years and that is what is going to give

them that big sort of staying power, that we are not going to see a return to normality in the next few months. what about donald trump's arrival here tomorrow? in a sense he exemplifies that populist resentment, the resentment that populist politicians are successfully fed on in his country and around europe, it will be quite a spectacle for him to arrive, a master of all he surveys in the united states in a country where the politics are so divided. indeed, and trump has already been stirring the pot. he has made negative comments about prime minister may and how the brexit negotiation has been handled until now. he has made negative comments about how the uk is handling the new relationship with huawei and the long term relationship with china. he has made positive comments

about borisjohnson and nigel farage and that harder vision of brexit, the cleaner break from the european union so he is really arriving at the pivotal and fragile moment in british politics as we have a conservative leadership election under way, a labour party still divided and trying to figure out where it stands on brexit and the country more generally that i think it's fair to say is rather exasperated with the current developments in westminster. funeral plan providers are set to be regulated by the independent financial watchdog for the first time under new government plans. it follows complaints that some people are being pushed into buying products they don't fully understand. those found guilty of bullying people into buying expensive pre—paid plans could face fines and criminal charges. a leading democratic nominee in the us 2020 presidential election was interrupted on—stage by a protester at an event in california last night. senator kamala harris was answering a question on equal pay when a man came

and took her microphone from her. hey, hey, hey! the protester — a 24—year—old animal rights activist named aidan cook — said he wanted her attention for a "much bigger idea" than the pay gap. social media users have been quick to point out the irony of a man interrupting ms harris whilst she was discussing her plans for equality. 0rganisers of the california event have apologised. iraq has suffered from decades of war and terrorism. the legacy of the fighting means the country is littered with unexploded mines, bombs and munitions — more than any other country in the world. from iraq, cameron buttle reports. radio check. weaving through the baghdad morning rush hour. flanked by mile after mile of concrete blast walls. frank phillips has been working in iraq for more than a decade. for the past year he's been setting up the halo trust operations.

as the convoy moves north the threat changes. 15 kilometres to our east is a town called tarmia. tarmia, at the moment, is one of the hotbeds of activity of what remains of isis. this kind of pop—up terrorism will be active in one area, then inevitably the government will mount operations against them, may neutralise them, they may move on somewhere else. morning. hi, frank, how are you? halo has been dealing with mines, munitions and explosives around the world for 30 years. in places like afghanistan it has thousands of workers. these are some of the first 100 being trained in iraq. it was a device exactly like this that killed

a little girl two weeks ago. she was out playing near these houses. khaled ali still lives here along with his family. he says there are many accidents in the valley. they are afraid to walk anywhere beyond their home. this is what happens when the locals tried to clear the rubble themselves. a man driving this digger lost both his legs when he hit a mine. a0 miles west of baghdad the city of fallujah was an isis stronghold. re—taking it was a symbolic victory for iraqi forces. but at a huge cost. today it needs industrial machines to clear it. we can clear so much more ground than old —fashioned metal detectors in this area. you can just see the top of what would be a paint pot and then just off to one side, there will be the pressure plate where the victim or someone might stand on it.

you reckon there's another one? i think there's another onejust here. the machine digs up the bomb, then it's a long wait in the searing heat to see if it detonates. and it still takes a man with wire cutters to take a long, lonely walk to make sure it's safe. radio chatter so this is the ied they've taken out of the ground about half an hour ago. it's quite day—to—day for them but i have to say when you pick it up and you start handling it, it's quite chilling. and it's quite unnerving to see how simple it is in the material that's been used, these are bits of hose, everyday stuff that people have got from hardware stores. there are some who already feel the risk is worth it to move back home but the problem is vast, development has stalled and hundreds of thousands of iraqis won't return here until it's safe again. and that could be at

least a decade away. let's take a look at some of today's other stories on bbc news. an explosion at a factory in the russian city of dzerzhinsk has injured 79 people and damaged 180 homes nearby. city officials say the factory produces and stores high—explosive bombs for the military. at least five people were inside the factory at the time of the explosion. they were all safely evacuated. the brazilian football star neymar has strongly denied an accusation that he raped a woman in paris. in a brazilian police report, the woman alleges that the attack took place in a hotel, near where neymar plays for paris st—germain. neymar‘s management has put out a statement saying the footballer "completely repudiated" the accusation. british airways is set to become the first western airline to resume flights to pakistan, after the route was cancelled because of security risks. the airline stopped flying to the country in 2008 after the marriott hotel bombing.

a flight from heathrow to islamabad is due to take off this evening. boxing now — and there's been a huge upset at new york's madison square garden. britain's heavyweight champion anthonyjoshua has been beaten by his mexican opponent andy ruiz junior. the ref stepped in to stop the fight in the seventh round. joshua was expected to win the bout — and this is his first defeat. ruiz becomes the first mexican to win the heavyweight championship — a fact not lost on the boxer who was a huge underdog. i have been working really hard, man. really hard. and i felt i wanted to prove everybody wrong, the doubters thinking i was going to lose in the third round, first round. i was looking at comments as well. and what do you know, man, i'm the first mexican heavyweight champion of the world.

fridges and air conditioning units are responsible for a fifth of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. now, scientists think they might have come up with a solution to make them better for the environment — and a balloon has provided inspiration for the idea. richard westcott reports. 0ne fifth of the world's energy goes on running fridges and air—conditioning units. they are often inefficient, energy hungry and can leak greenhouse gases into the air. demonstrate it quickly. so now a cambridge team... it's gone really hot! ..has come up with an alternative. and then... it's really cold! that's amazing. i will explain the balloon thing in a second. first, you need to know that fridges and air—conditioning units currently work by expanding and then squashing gases. the cambridge team is looking to replace that gas with more eco—friendly solids. it is complex work but you can show it with a simple experiment

and a thermal camera. like with a balloon, if you expand the new materials quickly, they go white, which means hot. squash them quickly and they go black, which means cold. here are some of the materials they hope will one day replace the gases in the back of ourfridges. so, they'll load them into the machine and then squeeze them and stretch them to see what happens. so, the impact can be potentially tremendous because if we can actually find a solid material to replace the gases we use in vapour compression fridges and air—conditioning systems, we can hope to have a technology that is both environmentally friendly and much more energy efficient. they have developed organic materials that workjust as well as gas but without the potentially harmful leakage. it's still early days, but it could lead to fridges and aircon units that devour much less energy and are better for the environment. richard westcott,

bbc news, cambridge. now look at the weather. nick miller. many parts of the uk seeing a bit of rain so far today as the weather front moves eastwards but a slight hazy sunshine across eastern england where temperatures were close to 30, the highest the uk has had so far this year. even here the weather front will move through and introduce cooler and fresher air. it will take further showers and they will take further showers and they will clear away from eastern england as we go into the night. this is how it looks through the evening. what showers are left living through east anglia and the south—east. clear from many to end the day and overnight across england and wales in particular but blustery showers in northern ireland and scotland, most frequently in western scotland. for all of us compared to last night, especially noticeable where it was so humid last night. the big

picture from monday, low pressure close to northern scotland, close to that a pretty brisk wind. there are showers and these are across northern ireland, more showers than today, and into scotland. most frequent in the west. it could give a brief heavy downpour with the rumble of thunder. they will move through the brisk wind. not many showers to eastern scotland. england and wales seeing sunny spells. the odd shower popping up but few and far between. many places are staying dry. not quite as windy in england and wales. temperatures, a big range of at the weekend. where we have been close to 30, closer to 20 in eastern england. most of us into the teens and that is where temperatures will stay. weather system moving and bringing a spell of rain northwards across the uk then it is showers into wednesday with a chance of rain arriving towards the south—east later. low pressure close by this week, throughout the week it is

looking unsettled as a result.
