then you have liam fox and boris johnson, they soft brexit.have liam fox and borisjohnson, they want soft brexit. then you have liam fox and boris johnson, they want a soft brexit. then you have liam fox and borisjohnson, they want a hard brexit. theresa may's authority isn't as hard as it was. that is so sweet of you to describe the prime minister is having authority, because she doesn't have any! she can't sack anyone would do anything. but she is the prime minister. she is out of the country and she has left philip hammond nominally in charge. there are various useless trade deals that liam fox does and borisjohnson, they try trade deals that liam fox does and boris johnson, they try and keep out of the country as much as possible for this reason. the chancellor and the home secretary is not in it to announce soft brexit deals, infuriating the right of their own party —— sneaked in. infuriating the right of their own party -- sneaked in. is it chaos or is it that we just don't know things and different opinions are coming out at different t

talking of senior cabinet members, boris johnson, uk foreign secretary, is looking animated on the front page of the japan times. he's there of course to clinch some

the leadership challengers, the likely ones, boris johnson and david davis, i do not think we are looking at an imminent challenge to theresa may at the moment. they will hold onto her for as long as she is useful? even if you put a stalking horse up to get things moving, it still takes 48 mps. it would be difficult to find 48 mp5. mps. it would be difficult to find 48 mps. but they love this and to be honest so do we. it is a good story and it keeps on going and we are about to go into the summary says and then it will be conference

boris johnson visited this robotics centre in tokyo.en talking up the strong economic ties between the two countries, noting that japanese countries, noting that japanese countries have invested more than $15 billion in britain. japan's political and business leaders are reported to be concerned about the state of the brexit negotiations, and although mrjohnson is not directly involved in the negotiations, it is important for him to reassure the japanese leaders. we discussed what japanese firms will be expecting from these talks. it is important forjapan to get some reassurance regarding their foreign investments. the uk is the second largest investment space for japan, and a lot of investment that japan, and a lot of investment that japan did was to export products to the eu. so it is important for the uk to reassure japanese companies that they will still be able to export those products after brexit. let's ta ke export those products after brexit. let's take a look at this chart. talking about japanese investment into the uk, it has

interestingly, in that meeting, apparently boris johnson and theresa may said that public sector workershat they are overpaid, so we are getting a lot of details. your poll, 1500 people were polled and they believe that public sector workers should get a pay rise. not only that but 60% of them are prepared to pay higher taxes themselves to fund it. they realise there is no free money, and that does mark quite a big shift since the... we have been, when it comes to polls, how was this poll fray as the? you have to be a bit sceptical, but it is worth asking that question, and certainly if you put... it was a question about emergency services, would you be prepared to pay higher taxes to give them a pay rise? and that is an emotive subject, what with grenfell tower, and so on. if you brought in about the public sector workers generally, people are less willing to pay more in taxes. the mood is shifting against the government on this. and this is going to be philip hammond's problem come the budget in the autumn. he needs to say something on public sector pay. he knows he will be the leader

but, boris johnson has his work cut out for him after the japanese agreed a free—trade deal with theled to come into effect early 2019 just as the time that britain is due to leave the block. us authorities have fined exxon mobil $2m for violating sanctions against russia while secretary of state rex tillerson was its chief executive. exxon dealt with igor sechin, the president of russian oil giant rosneft, who was blacklisted, the us treasury department said. exxon has challenged the finding, calling it "fundamentally unfair". that's it for us. don't forget you can get in touch with us via twitter. the number of pupils being excluded from schools in england is at its highest level for nearly a decade. in the last year there were nearly 350,000 permanent or fixed term exclusions from state schools. all these young people have had problems at school. most have been excluded. this man knows it only too well. he was thrown out of his school at 14. he turned to a life of crime and was jailed for ten years for manslaughter. for me it is about redemption. i made many mistakes in my life. i

boris johnson is in japan will be any deal at all, of course.isjohnson is injapan talking trade, a picture of him talking to a robot. no one else is listening! she is sometimes called the maybot. this is sometimes called the maybot. this is bobot, or is being bald lists, —— boris being boris. talking about trade deals on what sort of deal that they could do with japan in two yea rs that they could do with japan in two years time but yes, he is banging the drum. interestingly he's been dispatched to japan, maybe getting him out of the way taringa brexit talks this week, but let's hope he making progress. it has to speak to various countries about to bring deals. the issue of trade with japan is timely given that tokyo has signed a free—trade agreement with the eu. at the beginning of this month, it is due to come in early 2019 as brexit comes in. that was the day it took four days ago for four years to negotiate it has been a lot of talk of the japanese premiersaid he a lot of talk of the japanese premier said he was a agreement with the uk but t

, currently on a working trip on as julia has boris johnson, currently on a working trip on asjulia hasds and is likely to be the biggest cabinet opponent of a lengthy transition. it doesn't reveal the sources. lengthy transition. it doesn't revealthe sources. i lengthy transition. it doesn't reveal the sources. i picked on that line at as well because just before it says that philip hammond has won the backing of brexit years including michael gove and liam fox, two heavyweight brexit campaigners. it is very much suggesting some of the opposition is coming from the foreign office. it doesn't go so far as to say that. i love the headline, election will be the second paul on the eu. i got such a sense of deja vu the eu. i got such a sense of deja vu because i feel like i read that before the election we just hit. what we learn from that election is that every side, whether it is the conservatives of or labour, remain 01’ conservatives of or labour, remain or leave, are taking the sign that they are connected whatever it was they are connected whatever it was they wanted. it will continue

boris johnson is a chaotic figure. he is -- >> populist.it's our age. >> he is popular in some areas. but because of his support for brexit, i think the conservative party realizes -- in scotland has made surprising gains. they can kiss all of those good-bye if boris johnson is prime minister. if there are any two pro brexit leader. it is a delicate balance especially for scotland. especially torrey seats and larger cities don't want to pro brexit a leader. theresa may has gbegun to be known for the hard brexit approach. and in the labour party, they sacked the front bench mps over a brexit about themselves. people forget the problem with jeremy corbin is he was very ambiguo ambiguous. >> last one. hamburg and g20. is he really talking to merkel or if president trump gets hit with a wave of pro putin stories. what does putin do at the gathering? >> he will talk to both. what he will try to do with president trump is and with angela merkel. merkel knows the game better. to separate the united states from the european union more and more. tha

the iran nuclear agreement, the world would be in supreme danger so again written by boris johnson.writes in the troubled landscape of the middle ooeseas success is measured by the crises that we avoid the jcmoa has neutralized for at least a decade, one less threat too worry about. this is very interesting it's the two year anniversary since the deal happened. and i learned a lot by reading this about exactly the process of what has been enforced on iran and how if the deal fell apart how quickly they could come back to building a nuclear weapon clearly criticism that iran is now making more money without sanctions and with it fueling various other crises around the region but boris johnson saying this is a better alternative than them having a nuclear weapon. and a deal that still gets a lot of criticism on both sides of the aisle. but i learned a lot. >> and my pick in the "washington post" titled why chinese leaders were afraid of a man who died in their captivity referring to the nobel prize winner who died yesterday. he writes perhaps the communist party rules over a populatio

gove. sector workers should get a pay rise -- boris johnson michael gove.e leaked the story of a confidential cabinet meeting. because our defence correspondent, i can hear the torpedoes leaving the tubes and they are sinking phil, forensic spreadsheet philip hammond, potential leader, you are sunk. that is what's going on, it wiped it out, tin—eared. i experienced him when he was defence secretary and he is known as spreadsheet bill, he looks at the bottom line of the finances, he looks at the accounts. but he doesn't get the hinterland. he talks, albeit privately, without a sense of irony, about a list at the time of grenfell tower, of the need to reward public services. and the public now feel that the public and emergency services, particularly as sian mentioned, are under rewarded. i know the 10% and so one, actually it is people like senior civil servants, senior military, senior diplomats, and i hearthem banging on at meeting after meeting. they are an index linked, very, very substantial pensions. that is part of the inequality and this will play ve

because the foreign secretary boris johnson of course has turkish a ncestry johnson of course has turkishy rude: about you. has he apologised about that and has that incident in any way damaged uk— turkish ties? no, iwasjust...! no, i wasjust...! i wasjust asking if he perhaps apologised to you for having a schleck did he apologise? talking about the united kingdom of course, post— brexit, your prime minister has said in talks that he had with theresa may, the british prime minister, in february but after britain leads the united union any bilateral deal, trade deal, between turkey and the united kingdom would have to be based on the fact that there would have to be freedom of movement for turkish citizens between the uk and turkey, if there is to be a bilateral deal, thatis if there is to be a bilateral deal, that is the condition. is that the case? but will you say, as your prime minister has stated, that it is a condition of any bilateral trade agreement between turkey and the uk post— brexit that there has to be freedom of movement for turkish citizens? so it‘s an objective? turkey is

boris johnson is playing field and data later in hospital.lives and speak to catherine who has the best seat, the best vantage point in the house. afternoon to you. lots of british interest today. it is a great day ahead. lots of interest in andy murray as well. it is the main talking point here, as you can see, the crowds filling up henman hill hoping for another vintage year, the 50th year of wimbledon in the open era, but as you say, the question eve ryo ne era, but as you say, the question everyone wants to know is coming get another british champion here this year. andy murray before back—to—back titles. he gets the seedings underway on centre court as defending champion and world number one, but he has been struggling with injury over the last few days or so. he had a poorform of run coming into wimbledon. he lost in the opening round of queensjust into wimbledon. he lost in the opening round of queens just a week or so ago. opening round of queens just a week or so ago. on top of that he has a hip injury. he has been limping on the pra

we just saw you speaking to the prime minister and boris johnson made it clear he believes theresa mayutely. a slightly mixed reaction from downing street to borisjohnson, because, reaction from downing street to boris johnson, because, his colourful turn of phrase, he gave them a problem when it came to how much we might pay to secure a deal. you have to effectively get agreement on the divorce bill from the eu before you can have discussions the government really wa nts to discussions the government really wants to have on trade. they might have upset the backbenchers if they contradicted boris completely so downing street tell me, they said the days of giving vast sums of money to the eu are over but they made the point britain would meet its legal obligations when it comes to coughing up. elsewhere they were slapping boris down when it comes to the idea of a no deal. he said it was vanishingly small. what the prime minister said was that no deal is better than a bad deal. brexit secretary david davis has said the government is planning for all contingencies and it is clear downing

the other thing that boris johnson our legal obligations.l at all. that was contradicted, really, by the prime minister's spokeswoman this afternoon who said, as a responsible government, we are planning for all eventualities. you can probably imagine that opposition parties have berated mrjohnson for all of this. the liberal democrats, saying that these comments showed her shocking level of complacency and he was being glib. and jeremy corbyn, the labour leader, said it was ridiculous for the foreign secretary to approach important and serious negotiations with silly, arrogant language. this afternoon, david davis, the chief negotiator, did laugh when he heard the comments that boris johnson did laugh when he heard the comments that borisjohnson have made, but maybe they do end up getting a little bit frustrated that they are co nsta ntly little bit frustrated that they are constantly having to say, it's just boris. thanks for now. the author of a government review into working practices says he'd like to see an end to the cash—in—hand econ

but the foreign secretary, boris johnson, says that for legal reasons it is impossible for him to bes children's hospital for treatment. charlie gard's parents have already lost their legal battle, both here and in the european court, to keep him alive, against the advice of doctors at the great 0rmond street hospital. saudi arabia, the uae, bahrain, and egypt have condemned qatar's response to their demands as negative and irresponsible. the foreign ministers from the four arab countries met in cairo today and complained that qatar has failed to grasp the gravity of the situation. the four states accuse qatar of supporting terrorism and cut all diplomatic ties last month. dohar says the accusations are baseless. the list of 13 demands included closing a turkish military base, scaling down relations with iran and shutting down the aljazeera network. let's have a quick look at some of the newspapers from tomorrow. the lead in here on the i is the discussions of the reaction of the un security council. the guardian leads on news that 13 hundred nursing homes in england are failing safe

it is not very far ahead of the figure for boris johnson want.ery far ahead of the figure for borisjohnson which is i7%. the figure for borisjohnson which is 1796. the biggest choice was none of the above. party members are relu cta nt of the above. party members are reluctant for theresa may to stand now, and given the timetable for a change of leadership, there doesn't seem to be consistency even in the response. we've got conference in october. so, you know, she has that nightmare. she's got three weeks off now, apparently. meanwhile, jeremy corbyn, this is to do with his secret waca. now we can blown -- blame tony blair for corbyn. what this story says is that the local party in corbyn's constituency of islington north, they went to tony blairand said, islington north, they went to tony blair and said, look, islington north, they went to tony blairand said, look, he islington north, they went to tony blair and said, look, he keeps voting against you, should we think about getting rid of him, can we try to deselect him ? about getting rid of h

a tory backbencher supported by boris johnson and money.d by borisjohnson and the backbencher said the eu should go whistle if it wa nts a said the eu should go whistle if it wants a divorce bill that is huge. this £85 billion. typical performance from boris, to cheer the troops about brexit. the tory mp said tell them to go whistle and boris obliged. and he went further and said we'd do not have a plan for no deal. emily thornberry said have you privately got a plan, so if you are being kind to boris he is taking that literally and whether personally he has a plan, well no. we love it in the express because thatis we love it in the express because that is how we feel but probably compromise is going to have to be made and later david davis the brexit secretary was giving evidence. he is seen as the calm voice. allison, you love it at the express but you do not love it at the guardian! david davis probably did not love it much either because he is conducting the negotiations. probably had his head in his hands. he will go into the meeting a

of state so during the summer last year borisjohnson had state so during the summer last year boris johnson state so during the summer last year borisjohnson had a short term in charge. i can't see that's been repeated this time somehow. you'd editor was saying she is a dead woman walking not long ago but she is still hanging on. how do you rate her chances of prime ministerial survival at the moment? not brilliant but every day she clings on makes it a little bit easierfor her. the biggest things in her favour are brexit negotiations and the fear of having somebody else ta ke the fear of having somebody else take over that the talks end up falling apart one where another because somebody new comes in, and the more important one when it comes to the conservative party as there would be huge pressure for the new leader to holding your election and they are terrified it leads to jeremy corbyn. the daily mirror has a front—page seeing cops quiz kids age four and this is an angle on the rising crime story we have been reporting all day. the matter have focused on on the numbers of people carryi

and boris johnson and the point is there is a stop boris campaign gathering strength because they known gets the chance to be in the last two, and is put before the party members in the country, he stands good chance of winning. there was a poll in the other papers that said the person he would most like to be the tory leader is borisjohnson because he's a name and face. the authors, and sure it they would sort of know who david davis is, they know phil hammond is spreadsheet bill, but boris is a personality. david davis is trusted in brussels, isn't he? he has done very well as brexit set so far. but he's not have to make any difficult choices, yet. anything he has impressed his colleagues by being pragmatic as well as an ardent brexitier. the suggestion is that theresa may could lead before christmas. is that the room? there we re christmas. is that the room? there were so christmas. is that the room? there we re so many christmas. is that the room? there were so many i’uitioui’s. christmas. is that the room? there were so many i’uitioui's. there christmas. is that the room? there we

the leadership challengers, the likely ones, boris johnson and david davis, i do not think we are lookingent challenge to theresa may at the moment. they will hold onto her for as long as she is useful? even if you put a stalking horse up to get things moving, it still takes 48 mps. it would be difficult to find 48 mp5. mps. it would be difficult to find 48 mps. but they love this and to be honest so do we. it is a good story and it keeps on going and we are about to go into the summary says and then it will be conference season and then it will be conference season and the whole thing will be, who is going to unseat her? we might have a more quiet period the summer. ido have a more quiet period the summer. i do not think so, i think we have got two years of mayhem at the very least. we have already had quite a few months of it. the observer. german industry in stark warning to uk over brexit, saying it will be ha rd to uk over brexit, saying it will be hard to avoid hurting british business. this is a genuine surprise. we have always thought people like german car—makers are anxious to a

boris johnson saying that they must lift the cap on public service pay.g that they must lift the cap on public service paylj just wanted to say that there is this talk of this sort of thing and how it could all change before the autumn meeting, before the autumn conference. but then you have david liddington in this saying that it is all too much sun and too much press echo. —— prosecco. all too much sun and too much press echo. -- prosecco. the only thing in her favour is a terrible job and thatis her favour is a terrible job and that is why borisjohnson nor david davis have openly campaigned against her. they do not want the job at the mosman. what is this manoeuvring they keep on talking about? that is gossip that goes on in all political parties. nobody has come out and said they want the job because it is a terriblejob, to said they want the job because it is a terrible job, to try and steer this country through brexit, the most difficult negotiations since the second world war and with a weakened party with no majority without the help of the dup. t

regarding those comments from boris johnson, rethought go whistle was an appropriate response. barnier said there was no whistle but a ticking clock. not satisfied with the recent proposal from theresa want all of the citizens to be treated the same so they have the right to vote in local elections. the european negotiator from the european parliament wants to make sure these citizens to become second-class european citizens. the european parliament will have the chance to veto any plaintiff they do not like it. have diedine people in a 13-year-old boy is missing after a group of family and friends slipped away well cooling off in a creek that turned treacherous and arizona. it happened as the rainstorm sent floodwaters roaring in the canyon. hitting a group of people who set out chairs to lounge in the sun and swim. >> a large family group was down by the river. it is a recreation area. the flash flood came through and washed 14 people from the camp. normally it is just a trickle of a creek. during the monsoon season, it can go from one foot deep to 10 feet deep in minutes. no

boris johnson today would be a dereliction of duty.d, we have no plan. if we do not get the deal, we have no plan. that will have caused some consternation among some mps because that would suggest we would fall out with that contingency measures, nothing in place at all. to round off his interventions, borisjohnson suggested the brussels, european commission needed to show more su btlety commission needed to show more subtlety in the negotiations. i think they will thing he needs to shout subtlety, too. a fourth british man has been killed fighting against is in syria, according to a statement from kurdish fighters passed to the bbc. it says luke rutter, who was 2a years old died, during a campaign to liberate raqqa from so—called islamic state. 0ur correspondent emma vardy has been giving me more details. he is one of a number of british volu nteers he is one of a number of british volunteers who have gone to syria to fight alongside the kurdish forces against islamic state. this was given to us from the general command from the ypg.

foreign secretary boris johnson doing in comes to mediate the push in gold prices. going up at today's going underground but first will schoolchildren understand tomorrow's e.u. talks in ukraine will they understand that the e.u. backed government in kiev as we know allied to far right groups associated with anti semitism after ukraine's tragic world war two history that there is a contextual nazi past to this week's ordering by donald trump of u.s. missile warship.

the clock is ticking, he used that in the context of talking about boris johnson saying the eu can gohel barnier today. there is a little bit. i think it is because he, as he said, he is ready and he knows that the brexit clock had time started ticking back in march and we are now injuly and he feels that time is already slipping by and there is already a lot to do so by and there is already a lot to do so he is focusing on these issues that he needs to tackle the first round of negotiations and he still waiting for clarification from the uk side on many of its own positions and he says he is ready to work night and day soon as he get those, prefera bly night and day soon as he get those, preferably before the negotiation phase starts next week. what is the latest on the divorce bill? as mr barnier was saying the eu position is that he has produced a position paper that goes through and lays out the reasoning. that reasoning is pretty simple, which is that the uk, asa pretty simple, which is that the uk, as a member of the eu at the minute, has signed up to budgetary commitments for t

we are here in a firm but friendly attitude towards the uk but, no, boris johnson, is totally wrong.often at the 11th hour. you british invented the clubs and when you're in the club you have some privileges and not being a member means that you lose some privileges. you cannot have the best of the two worlds. that's just impossible. if we were to do so that would encourage all of our members to leave. however hard the eu tries to market its tough guy approach, make no mistake. it wants a deal with the uk. after all, if the uk economy nosedives, that has a big impact on the rest of europe. but brussels insists it won't do a deal at any price. when the eu thinks about brexit, it wants to do everything to protect the european single market. it's the biggest trade area in the whole world. right now made up of half a billion potential customers. the thing is, it's notjust about goods and trade, it's about the free movement of people as well. and so when uk politicians say they want full control over immigration but they want to retain the full benefits of the european single market, brus

and boris johnson as well, but you are saying nobody is moving at the moment, there's no sense of thatow where, as you are saying, we have a very interesting perspective where we now have different versions of what people want from brexit within the cabinet. this is highly dangerous in a negotiation, when your opposite number can see it being played out. philip hammond went to germany this week and said something very different to his colleagues back home, and david davis. the irony is that at the moment the brexit blueprint for britain is the theresa may blueprint. she has set out a very strong, essentially a hard brexit, out of the single market and customs union and no jurisdiction under the ecj. we now know that a lot of people are getting uncomfortable with that within government. will there be a point where that changes? negotiations are now on. whether these tie into things domestically before the autumn may dictate if we see someone moving against her or not. you see, the problem with that theory... a strong government would be a good thing to have at the moment but a change of

and the truth is that in london we have seen the biggest cuts in history, forced through by boris johnsonjohnson. we saw ten fire stations closed, a whole number of fire stations taken out of service, and that means that the very first response to the grenfell tower fire, there were fire engines that would have been there a few yea rs that would have been there a few years ago, but are no longer there. they could have got there quicker. soi they could have got there quicker. so i think all of that needs to be built into the discussion about how we make sure people are safe in their homes. as far as you are aware, what are the changes that have been made in other parts of the country by colleagues in other fire services, because they have seen what you have had to deal with here? well, it will be a big wake—up call for everyone, if you take high reach appliances, there have been reductions in recent years. in other fire services, they are not permanently crewed. so the is a question of making them available to —— of public ruin, and in my view and the view of the union —— of permanent crew

fire and the truth is that in london we have seen the biggest cuts in history forced through by boris johnson a whole number of fire engines taken out of service as part of those cuts and that means in terms of the very first response to the 6renfell tower fire there were fire engines that would have been there a few years ago that are no longer there and they clearly would have been more likely to get there quicker. i think all of that needs to be built into the discussion that now needs to take place on how we make sure people are safe in their homes. an investigation has begun after a woman and three children died in a house fire in bolton. police and firefighters were called to the blaze in rosamond street at around nine this morning. two boys and a girl, all under the age of 13, and a woman were trapped inside. one of the children was pronounced dead at the scene, and the woman and two children died later in hospital. a man escaped the house. the fire is not thought to be suspicious. jeremy corbyn has used his speech at the durham miners' 6ala to praise his party's performance in the gen
