hello there. a warm welcome to the programme to do great to have you with us. i will brief you all on what you need to know. as always you can be part of the conversation. you can be part of the conversation. you can tell us what you think about the stories we cover. you can drop us a tweet, just use our hashtag so i can spot it. hello. in a blow for the new british prime minister, boris johnson, the liberal democrats have won the parliamentary by—election in wales. this means mrjohnson‘s government has a majority ofjust one in the house of commons making it harderfor him to push one in the house of commons making it harder for him to push through any brexit agenda without a trade

deal. the labour party were beaten into fourth place by the brexit party. jane dodds, the liberal democrat had this message for boris johnson. people are desperately crying out for a different kind of politics. there is no time for tribalism. when our country is faced with a borisjohnson government and a threat of a no deal except. so my very first act as your mp, when i arrive in westminster, will be to find mr boris johnson, arrive in westminster, will be to find mr borisjohnson, wherever he is hiding, and tell him loud and clear, stop playing with the future of our communities and rule out a no deal brexit now! our political

correspondentjoins us now live from brecon. this is quite bad news for the prime minister, isn't it? it certainly is. not the result he wa nted certainly is. not the result he wanted and not the result conservative party, as a whole wanted. it was always going to be close here in brecon between the conservatives and the main challenges, the liberal democrats. it really was a straight fight between the two of them. tories trying to hang onto this seed after theirmp trying to hang onto this seed after their mp was deselected and then reselected after being convicted of expenses fraud. and the liberal democrats seeing this as an opportunity to mount a challenge and campaign on theiranti— opportunity to mount a challenge and campaign on their anti— brexit message and take a seat from the conservatives and in the end that is what they did. it will have implications here, of course, because by—elections always feature local issues. but it was brexit that

dominated and in this rural constituency where many farmers ply their trade and many sheep farmers live and work, it is their hopes and fears for what will happen after brexit that have come to the fore. as you mention, borisjohnson with a very thin majority in the house of commons as it is and that is now reduced further. he will find where his hands were tied in terms of trying to get any legislation through parliament and they are now tired a little bit tighter with the loss of this seed here in wales. dyson, with the result, i suppose we should point out that a fully some of the other probe remain parties had stood aside to give the lib dems the best possible chance. that is correct. we saw a remain alliance between the liberal democrats and the other two remain supporting parties who agreed to stand aside. so the welsh nationalist party,

plaid cymru and the green party agreed not to take part in this election which has definitely been a factor in the liberal democrats coming through and winning. if you look at the margin of victory, it was slim. dust moo votes decided this election between the conservatives under liberal democrats. if the same had been true on the other side and the brexit party, which stood on a pro—brexit, brexit at all costs by october 3! message, similar to that of the tories, then perhaps the conservatives could have clinched it because the brexit party finished in third place picking up around 3000 votes. if they had all gone to the tories, they would have hung onto the seat. however the brexit party will take that as a win for them because it demonstrates that even with boris johnson because it demonstrates that even with borisjohnson as prime minister and within uncompromising do or die brexit message to deliver on the result of referendum by october 31,

even with him in place they can still cut through and pick up votes from the tories. many thanks for that analysis there. ian anderson is with me. he is founder of an international medications agency. ian, as the previous prime minister found, when you do not have much of a parliamentary majority in your government it is quite vulnerable to anyone who disagrees and wants to rebel. this makes all those potential rebels far more powerful. it really does. now a majority of one. there are at least two conservative mps who are on resignation watch at the moment. one of whom is another welsh mp and before parliament actually gets back to business in september, it is very possible that they have either

decided to resign the conservative web or cross the floor of the house. it just takes one. web or cross the floor of the house. itjust takes one. there are 320 conservatives plus the democratic unionists that give borisjohnson currently a majority of one. there are 319 labour plus the other parties set up against them. if one of those two mps crosses the floor, those numbers flip and borisjohnson no longer has any majority at all. and does that bring a possible general election closer, do you think? yes. what we have to look out for is what mps do immediately after they come back from their summer break. on the third or fourth of september it is entirely possible, if borisjohnson september it is entirely possible, if boris johnson has september it is entirely possible, if borisjohnson has by then lost his majority, not as a result of elections but because two mps have

crossed the floor of the house, it is entirely possible that the labour party tries to start a vote of no—confidence and a vote of no confidence could lead to a general election rather deliciously on thursday october 31. the day on which the uk is supposed to leave the eu. quite interesting times. we will go through some of the papers later. let me brief you now on some of the other main stories making the news. more than 6000 people have been told to leave their homes in the town of whaley bridge in derbyshire after heavy rains caused pa rt derbyshire after heavy rains caused part of a nearby dam to collapse. residents have gathered at a local school and there are fears that the dam could burst causing water from the reservoir to engulf the town. the us has announced a new 10% tariff on a further $300 billion worth of imports from china to

president trump says the new tariffs would start at 10%, and possibly be increased further depending on how the next round of talks go. the japanese cabinet has stripped south korea of its preferred list of trading partners in an escalation of the bitter trade row tween america's two allies in asia. tokyo's so—called white list is a list of countries that enjoy the minimum trade restrictions. let's get the latest from our correspondent in the south korean capital. laura, how serious the movie is this? well, when it comes to relations between japan and south korea, quite serious. we hear a protest outside the japanese embassy here in seoul and as you can see they are holding up and as you can see they are holding up posters that say no shinzo abe. they are here to protest against the latest measures, trade measures that tokyo have introduced. to give you

an idea why the world should care about this, if the price of your smartphone or your television goes up smartphone or your television goes up within the next few months or yea rs, up within the next few months or years, this trades but could be to blame. south korea produces over 50% of all the display screens and semiconductors that go into all these electronic devices. they rely onjapan these electronic devices. they rely on japan for the supplies these electronic devices. they rely onjapan for the supplies to make them. and as they have now been stripped of their fast track trade status, that means that they will not be able to get those supplies as easily and quickly. it could affect the global supply of all of these electronic devices. when it comes to geopolitically, south korea and japan, the their relations are crucial to the united states. they rely on these two countries to provide a united front against north korea. that is all to help the us‘s

maximum pressure strategy. if these two countries loggerheads, causes problems for america. on the border here you have china and russia strengthening their reliance in carrying out exercises over south korean and japanese airspace. they are showing their strength at a time when these two allies, japan and south korea, are at loggerheads. thank you very much for explaining that for us. the united states will formally withdraw today from a 30—year—old treaty banning intermediate range nuclear missiles, prompting fears of a new arms race. the us has accused russia of breaching the terms of the so—called inf treaty by developing a new short range missile, something moscow denies. here is our diplomatic correspondent. the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty was this central plan for the arms control

regime agreed by the united states and the soviet union towards the end of the cold war. the us and soviet leaders promised in 1987 to eliminate all missiles with ranges between 300 miles and 3000 400 miles. thus reducing the threat from mobile hard to detect ground launched nuclear weapons. but the us and nato say that russia has reached the terms of the treaty for some yea rs by the terms of the treaty for some years by deploying a new type of cruise missile, some moscow denies. in february, president trump said the us would withdraw from the treaty today unless moscow came back into compliance. russia has instead suspended its obligations to the agreement. the question is what happens now. nato has promised a defensive and measured response but there are already fears that there will be a new arms race between the united states, russia and china.

either way, the collapse of the treaty marks the end of yet another pa rt treaty marks the end of yet another part of the international rules based order. stay with us here on bbc news. still to come, the teenage jockey who galloped to victory and into the horseracing history books. cheering the us space agency, nasa, has ordered an investigation after confirmation today that astronauts were cleared to fly while drunk. the last foot patrol in south armagh. once an everyday part of the soldiers' lot, drudgery and danger, now no more after almost four decades. if one is on one's own, in a private house, not doing any harm to anyone, i don't really see

explanation. the pointscoring, three points if you hit the shield, one points if you hit the shield, one point if you hit the body and alarmingly five points if you hit the head. here they come. however, the head. here they come. however, the real question is how could anyone be sure who said what and where? 0h, she took a nasty one there, didn't you? to solve the problem, hidden in a tent is mark jenner. thejust video problem, hidden in a tent is mark jenner. the just video assistant referee. might get a point for that. you wouldn't have got this without this? no, nota you wouldn't have got this without this? no, not a chance. these are blink and you miss it moments. take this contest between clive and lisa, wild woman dixon. can you see me? i can see your face just about. and

olympicjustin, who knows? see you soon. the weather is fairly quiet, a lot of clear weather but there are showers in the forecast and possibly affecting derbyshire as well where we have the threat of that damn bursting. the good news is at the chance of any heavy rain occurring in that area over the next 24 hours pretty low, the showers will be very, very scattered on the friday and most of them won't be especially heavy. we are in between weather systems at the moment, you can see non— awful lot happening at the moment across the uk however, first thing in the morning it will be quite loudly across eastern part of the country, further towards the west, will have clear skies first thing so not a bad start to the day

and pretty mild if not one, 16 in london, a bit fresher there. in belfast around 12 celsius. that's the morning, how about the rest of that and into the afternoon? a lot of sunshine around, the cloud in the east will also clear away and then those showers i think across scotla nd those showers i think across scotland maybe around the lake district, or to nw, southern wales into the west country but the south coast, east anglia, the southeast looking sunny all day with temperatures around 25c. now, how about the cricket? the river icons are suggesting driver the brighter the very least, low 20s, just the outside chance of a show occurring in the area during the course of the afternoon. an outside chance. the forecast into saturday, a low pressure happening and that they dig approaching our shores: it does mean that at some point during the course of the weekend tickly on sunday there will be some rain but at least on saturday to start, cloudy skies thanit

on saturday to start, cloudy skies than it brightens up and eat in the day the possibility of maybe some splits and spots of rain and western areas especially northern ireland. but on the whole, the further east and north you are, it is looking absolutely fine. it's underwent this weather system edges a little bit closer that we see as showers developing and across scotland and northern england later in the day on sunday, the showers could be heavy could be thundery and yes, that could be thundery and yes, that could occur quite far south to central positive anger. by the south—east and east anglia, could get up to around 28 degrees in london. so little on the hot side.
