is borisjohnson in trouble? the pm has defended her foreign secretary. butjust how popular is he?oken to one figure who said that working with boris johnson is like walking a few feet behind a horse shovelling its shit. as japan awakes to nuclear sirens, we look at the country's complicated history of militarization. will america rush to defend it now in its hour of need? the japanese embassy‘s gates open in washington after almost ten years and the key is handed to mr takeuchi and once again the flag of the rising sun flies as japan re—enters the community of free nations. and they call it whitewashing — white actors have been playing ethnically diverse roles to please hollywood for a long time. but is it what the audiences really want? good evening. response to natural disaster can make or break a president. we know that. the shadow of katrina in 2005 loomed large over the remaining years of the bush presidency. his slowness then spoke notjust of incompetency — but of priority — a failure to help the poor and the black communities whose lives were most at risk. president trump m

didn't borisjohnson and other parts say another thing.hnson said and other parts say another thing. didn't borisjohnson said they and other parts say another thing. didn't boris johnson said they could go whistle? yes, but that was a extortionate amount. you surely ought to object to paying anything but it seems to me, we're talking about 10 billion euros, which sounds perfectly reasonable to me. this is terribly embarrassing and terrible television but i agree. i do think it's important as the brexiter that we do have a good relationship with the european union when we leave and i see there will be a transition period between march 2019 and when the new treaty, assuming there is one, some people say there won't be one, some people say there won't be one, when the new treaty actually becomes operative. compromises will have to be made. the eu is never going to access a figure as low as this, are they? no, it was said to be 16 ilion. even 100. i think that is why he said that. but it is early days and alleys they are starting to talk about

the foreign secretary borisjohnson travels to libya to urge military and political leaders to restore and stability in the north african country. and test match special is 60 years old today — we look back at that very british institution. and coming up in sportsday on bbc news, there is a very tough draw for tottenham hotspur and celtic, as this seasons's champions league groups are revealed. good evening. net migration to the uk — that's the difference between the number of people entering and leaving — has fallen to its lowest level for three years, mainly because of the large numbers of eu nationals who've decided to leave. it's prompted warnings from employers about the risk of labour shortages. the latest figures from march 2016 to march 2017 show net migration now stands at 246,000. that's a fall of 81,000 compared with the previous 12 months. more than half of that change is due to the fall in net migration of eu citizens which is down by 51,000. but that still means there are twice as many eu nationals coming to britain as leaving. here's our home affairs correspondent daniel

the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, said he was outraged. correspondent, yogita limaye, reports from the south korean capital of seoul. siren. japan being woken up by a siren on tuesday morning as a north korean missile through over the country. the rocket was launched from near pyongyang and flew over the island of hokkaido for splitting into three parts and landing in the sea to the ease. it is just the latest in a series of military missile test conducted by north korea this year, but more serious because it went overjapan. the last time that happened was nearly two decades ago. translation: the outrageous act of firing a missile over our country is a serious threat. that was prime minister shinzo abe. at a military base near tokyo, a military drill was conducted in response to the missile launch. across the sea in south korea, joint exercises are under way with american troops. they are held every august, and north korea usually responds with a show of strength. last year it conducted a nuclear test in retaliation. this year it has flown

today, borisjohnson about a quarter of them.but the can development secretary says britain must reduce its humanitarian aid next year, others should do more. my job isn'tjust to give aid and to give money. myjob is to make make sure the aid goes further and that we leverage with the nigerian government to get them to step up and do more. nigerian soldiers relax at the end of another arduous day of british training, but their country has nothing to celebrate, the war against boko haram is very far from over. james robbins, bbc news, nigeria. scottish labour is about to get its fourth leader in four years after kezia dugdale resigned with immediate effect. ms dugdale said the party had been revitalised during her two years in charge and that it was time for a new leader with "fresh energy, drive and a new mandate." she‘s been speaking to bbc scotland‘s political editor, brian taylor. applause kezia dugdale. yet more fake news. no, this is for real, scottish labour has lost another leader. kezia dugdale can be ferocious with oppone

the generational tops, david davis, at borisjohnson, they are bluffers. we do want lovers.ere is a real dismay at the mediocrity of theresa may's team. and they write about that. —— we don't want bluffers. i think you have to keep all cabinet is — look, i had my review period. i was handed me at p45. i think every body has a shelf life. i think need to make sure that a team holds together and let you all work together and support each other. but if you change the faces around the tables, just for the sake of it, that is a mistake. she has moved a lot of people into different jobs, but she didn't bring in any new blood. will a reshuffle... that is why the privacy can't stay in office forever. isn't it? ithink just in terms of younger voters, i think thinking about it, we need to think thinking about it, we need to think is a party how we will appeal. the trouble is, if you look at the way that the boat is backed up, we have a lot of old people, not so many young. and the older dying off, and the younger, there will be more and the younger, there will be more and more of them

let me quote you borisjohnson.pensation package for part of britain leaving the eu. go whistle, is that...? you've been in this game for a while, what would you expect to be happening at an early stage? wouldn't you expect both sides to put in a high opening bid? you would expect the eu to come out with a high figure and for the british to say, go whistle. i would not expect that. i would not expect the foreign secretary to use that kind of language and tone in negotiation with the very people who britain will have to do a deal with. there is no choice! 0n the issue of financing, it seems that the obvious way to solve it is for both sides to accept impartial arbitration, a neutral tribunal, and say, you work out the assets, you work out the liabilities, and we both agree to your ruling. and that would take the issue of the table. i am sure it would be a lot less than the eu is currently working for. although it won't be zero. but if it is not, you'll be willing to pay it? if it is 60 billion euros, you will pay it.

that's almost it for tonight, but before we go, you might foreign secretary borisjohnson was in libya this week, where he was welcomed by a libyan military band giving a tuneful rendition of the national anthem. at least, we think it's the national anthem. see for yourself. band plays out of tune hello and welcome to sports date with me, will peary. hero the headlines: ben stokes hits his entry for england at headingley. but the west indies dominate the first day of the second test. after all the chaos, all the hype, floyd mayweather and conor mcgregor finally weigh in. and we look ahead to tomorrow night's rugby world cup final with england's women. they are looking to retain their title. hello and welcome to sports day. a busy bank holiday sport. we start with cricket. ben stokes had a century on the opening date of the test against the opening date of the test against the west indies. but the story of the west indies. but the story of the day was the much improved performance of the tourists at headingley, as patrick geary reports. adshed into headingley‘s memory, great cricketers

he used to work for your colleague, the foreign secretary borisjohnson. there we are.know which side boris is on in the referendum debate. the point is there a number of businesses, we know some of the banks are looking seriously at frankfurt, we know paris is on manoeuvres to try and tempt business overseas and we know businesses are preparing. you're right to say of course everyone hopes we don't get to a cliff edge no deal scenario but they have to prepare for the worst case and making decisions employment, finding the local regulatory licenses, those take months, not weeks, not days, so people are preparing. one of his colleagues, professor patrick minford, said he thinks brexit can in many ways be compared to the event that gave birth to your political party, the modern version of your polictical party, the repeal of the corn laws and he says we should simply abolish trade barriers without asking others to do the same, just as we did in 1846 when sir robert peel, that revolutionary insurgent in uk politics, basically abandoned the pricey form of protectionism that

foreign secretary borisjohnson has expressed outrage at north korea's "reckless" actions.texas deploys the entire national guard to deal with the worsening floods, 30,000 residents are left needing emergency shelter.

borisjohnson boris johnson says borisjohnson says libya is a front line in the european struggle againstre improve control of the country's southern border. a short time ago mr johnson explained the importance of the country's role in the struggle against migration and terrorism. there is no doubt that libya is our front line in the struggle notjust against illegal migration but also against illegal migration but also against terrorism and some of the people who come across from this country through an are unquestionably people who are either already radicalised or who could be involved in terrorism. that is why we are here, the uk is here, helping the coastguard, as you saw earlier on, helping to stabilise the country, trying to glue together both sides of this country and helping to bring back order and stability, that is the key thing for a country that has got amazing potential to make economic progress. borisjohnson in potential to make economic progress. boris johnson in libya. two rival gangs in birmingham have been served with the largest ever injunction to stop them mixing with

what also makes me very suspicious is one of her main rivals, borisjohnson, has said he gives his undividedacking. will he stabbed her in the back, the front, the side? he is undivided in his opinion about that. he also says he is there to support her. alarm bells ring for me because it reminds me of when michael heseltine said, i do not foresee circumstances in which i would take over from mrs thatcher, and then the next day, he stood against. people who say they are not against. people who say they are not a quitterand against. people who say they are not a quitter and look like they are clinging on for dear life look desperate, and that is smelt by the electorate. i don't think she will make it to the next election, and if she does, she will be completely toast. party conference season is coming up in the autumn, and after a relatively quiet summer, one assumes she has regrouped. one would imagine thatis she has regrouped. one would imagine that is when people will start to mutter and put their colours to the mast. yes, and this is a key test coming up. it dissolves the back is almost a

in a way he owes, like borisjohnson, he owes his career to have i got news for you.imilarities end, i am not sure. he has provided us with a lot of laughs today. very sad. let's look at a couple of the newspapers and how they're reporting the aftermath of they're reporting the aftermath of the attacks in barcelona and cambrils. hunt for terror cell, it says. focus on africa as attack plan revealed but didn't get carried out. the photograph is of a little boy, a british boy, who is missing. still missing as is with the case every time a story like this happens and attack, people get separated in chaos, they pick tourist areas, therefore you are affecting the whole world. i think 34 different nationalalities represented by all the victims or those injured in this attack. the fact that he has been separated just gives you answer idea of the carnage that was left by these men. also the more scary thing today was this wasn't plan a for them, they had plan a, plan b and c and didn't work, this was the most basic plan they had. they actually wanted to bring in gas cannister

the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, has given his support, but backbench conservative mps have told're sceptical she'll be able to serve the full term. the prime minister is currently on a three—day trip to japan. there has been an awful lot of speculation about my future which has no basis whatsoever in it. i am in this for the long—term. there is a realjob to be done in the united kingdom. it is about getting brexit done right and getting a proper partnership with the eu for the future. it is also about getting global britain and trading around the world and dealing with injustice within the uk but also going out and around the world, making sure we can do those trade deals which ring prosperity to our economy and bring jobs to the united kingdom. —— bring. ben wright is injapan. hejoins us live on he joins us live on breakfast. we have heard so much speculation over the summer. is theresa may ending it or is this starting it again? good morning. she is here on the second day of her three—day visit to japan, a visit ostensibly about trade. she is talking about the possibilities fo

just to leat you know, borisjohnson, the british foreign secretary, he said the real rivals of the cityoing to be in hong kong, singapore, and new york. he has a point, doesn't he? well, first, i don't believe that london will disappear as a major financial centre. london will continue to have a very important role and activities, and that is a good thing. in particular, given the proximity and the facility to move between them london and paris, i see a lot of easiness in having teams working in london and teams working in paris. but more specifically to your question, if there are things that institutions have to move, and they will have to move some activities to the eu, it's because the rules will impose that those activities are done in the eu. so, if they have to move to the eu, they cannot move to new york or to asian places. they need to move to the eu or be given up. all the institutions say they want to continue servicing their clients, they do want to lose their capacity to service them. they don't want to lose the business related to it. so they will do what it is necessary t

borisjohnson, the foreign secretary, and liam fox, the international trade secretary, perhaps not seeingd and amber rudd over theissue philip hammond and amber rudd over the issue of freedom of movement of people post—brexit. how does this i’ow people post—brexit. how does this row look from your side of the channel? well, i think the basic view of the eu 27 is that if you wa nt to view of the eu 27 is that if you want to continue to have full access to the market, be it for the long—term, orfor a to the market, be it for the long—term, or for a transition period, you need to, to follow all the major parts of the eu governance, and the eu governance of basically the capacity of its institutions to regulate the capacity —— to regulate, the capacity —— to regulate, the capacity to reconcile disputes, and powers that are in the eu rules, freedom for goods and services, and financial flows, and not freedom for goods and services, and financialflows, and not for freedom for goods and services, and financial flows, and not for people. after that, how it will be settled exactly will depend on t

borisjohnson.y have very little confidence in them as a trio to negotiate our way in this difficult task. particularly at a time when the european union is doing extremely well, the euro is high, germany and france are relaunching their politics. it looks like on the one hand, you have britain which cannot get a position and the european union, which goes forward with or without britain. adam, you said earlier, it's not going well, it is going badly. actually, to what extent do any of us know that? does anyone go into a negotiation...? you don't put all of your cards on the table, do you? that is the process of a negotiation. at least they are behind schedule, now it looks like the trade talks in october could be delayed until december. they are behind schedule. that's clear. yes, in terms of the timetable perhaps. the level of snarkiness on on social media and the bad tempers and everyone telling us that they want brexit reversed or not reversed, i think a lot of this has been created because peop

publicly supporting her, not least boris johnson. coming out and publicly supporting her, not least borisjohnsonas been a few voices scoffing publicly at this. lord heseltine one of them, nicky morgan, the former education secretary, but the majority of mps are not saying anything publicly at all. but privately, they simply don't believe her. they don't put any more credence on the fact she would fight the next election than they did on her assurances that she wouldn't call a snap election this year. they basically think nothing much has changed and she is still in a relatively weak position but she couldn't have said anything else when asked about her future in the press. the london evening standard, edited by george osborne of course who she sacked as chancellor, has today suggested she is somehow staggering on like the living dead. thank you. there have been two explosions at a chemical works in texas, which was badly flooded by tropical storm harvey. the owner of the plant near houston, had warned that a loss of power meant volatile chemicals could overheat. the surrounding area has been eva

, one of the most prominent brexit supporting economists, who has worked or works closely with borisjohnsonof the book "the production of money" and a member of labour's economic advisory committee. do you agree with my interpretation that the bank is taking a brexit sceptic view? certainly, clearly one needs to be realistic, because there are challenges, what struck me today was that in his opening statement, the governor was cautious, blamed brexit for everything, then in the one—hour press conference, in terms of the short—term, he came out with four positives, in my view, if he was balanced, he should have mentioned them at the beginning. inflation is falling, consumers bending will grow in line with income, therefore there will not be a rise in debt, he said the balance of the economy is going to improve, exports and investment picking up. and also he talked about the fact that the world economy will improve. why frankie, even though he was cautious, in the one—hour -- quite frankly, even though he was cautious, in the one—hour press conference, you had to squeeze out of him reasons to

the foreign secretary borisjohnson travelled to benghazi in eastern libya today, one of the first westernes control the east of this deeply divided country. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale was travelling with the foreign secretary. he asked him whether marhal haftar was ready to give up military rule if elected president. well, that is the great question and yes, he gave us those assurances that he would accept that if he contested that he would accept that if he co ntested a n that he would accept that if he contested an election, he would not serve as leader of this country, leader of libya, in a military capacity. and i think he does understand that. but it was also important to get over to him that this is a moment for compromise and all sides will have to compromise in this thing. there is an opportunity here with the arrival of the new un special representative. they will have to have elections but before they have those elections, the two size of the country have got to come together. —— the two sides. and that isa together. —— the two sides. and that is a comrade that t

this project was supported by the then mayor borisjohnson and then chancellor george osborne, both committed something the mayor refuse. in a statement today the mayor says, there were systemic failings in the procurement process, and he could not permit a single penny more of london taxpayer money being spent on it. he also says londoners like me will be very angry that taxpayers have lost tens of means of pounds committed by the previous mayor. there are bound to be further questions, and further scrutiny, about this huge waste of money. time for a look at the weather. terrace some dry weather to come at times this week, but it isn‘t as simple as that this week because although we will see sunshine at times, generally there will be a cool filter the weather and we will see outbreaks of rape. —— outbreaks of rain. another area of wet weather across the midlands and the south—west, and then further positive heavy rain later. all the while, east anglia and the south—east are seeing some brightness in temperatures. pulses of heavier thundery rain will drift northwards and eastwards as we go th

just before midnight, foreign secretary borisjohnson tweeted that he was "outraged" by what he calledorth korea's "reckless provocation". the chinese government says the united and south are partly responsible for pressuring north korea, questioning whether all parties were pushing for peace. our correspondent yogida limaye reports on the latest north korean missile launch. siren. japan being woken up by a siren on tuesday morning as a north korean missile flew over the country. the rocket was launched from near pyongyang and it flew over the northern island of hokkaido, before splitting into three parts and landing into the sea to the east. it is just the latest in a series of military missile tests conducted by north korea this year, but a more serious one because it flew overjapan. the last time that happened was nearly two decades ago. "the outrageous act of firing a missile over our country is an unprecedented, serious and grave threat," japanese prime minister shinzo abe said. at a us military base near tokyo, a military drill was conducted by japanese forces in response to the

david davis called borisjohnson a failure and there were tory mps threatening to kick each other in variousarty and it is for me to have a partisan enjoyment in the tories ripping themselves to shreds, but chris patten said the disastrous decisions have left the country in a terrible mess and already because we have the referendum to sage the internal divisions of the tory party, and we have the snap general election to destroy the labour party, but these internal divisions within the conservative party have left this country a laughing stock in europe and that is my fear, that we don't have a united government, we don't have a united government, we have a prime minister without authority and brexit negotiations have not even begun. what you think about soubry saying she is thinking about soubry saying she is thinking aboutjoining about soubry saying she is thinking about joining another party? that is not that surprising, there are some people in the conservative party who are passionately in favour of remain and they can argue their case as they wish, but they do not represent a minority
