amber rudd, justine greening and the prime minister's former deputy, damian green, are on manoeuvres.rexit? also tonight... the party started by a clown is about to govern italy with a party of the far right. it's a big ask. can it really work? thank you so much. can i have mine in that? certainly. and a huge weekend for sports fans and monarchists. newsnight has the mash—up. we've taken the football pundits to the royal wedding. but here's what happened when we took the royal commentators to the beautiful game. they're off and they're kicking the ball. the guys in blue have got it at the moment and it's going over there. no, the guys in white have taken it over. this is of course the excitement you get in a game like this. 0h! somebody has picked it up. are they allowed to do that? i think they probably are. good evening. newsnight has learnt that a group of former cabinet ministers is hatching a plan to prove that the conservative parliamentary party would support a moderate brexit. justine greening, amber rudd and damian green want to show the prime minister that she would have suf

the key players include former cabinet ministers justine greening, amber rudd and damian green.in supporters know their work will be undermined if it is seen as one—sided and so they are teaming up with leave supporters. the aim — to marginalise the outliers at either end of the remain and leave spectrum. they now see no chance of finding common ground with the likes of brexiteerjacob rees—mogg, and if borisjohnson walks out of the cabinet, so be it. the arch—remainer dominic grieve is also in the sites of some. as the two sides try to bridge the gap, one tory grandee told me their work should be seen as a dive for the middle ground with one very simple aim — to show the centre of gravity lies with leavers and remainers who are prepared to compromise and that is designed to give theresa may the space to cut a deal without the support ofjacob rees—mogg and possibly even some members of her cabinet. my constituents don't like cabinet ministers openly rubbishing the plans of the prime minister in public. they want a sensible and considered compromise. and i think those that are arg

i don't understand damian green's arguments at all. what he is really arguing for, i think, at all.r, i think, is to stay indefinitely in effectively the eu, and that is wholly unacceptable. tory mps who are supportive of the idea painted as a pragmatic compromise that could potentially unite the bulk of the tory party. well, it is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, which has already been rejected by the eu, so why are we working on that? why don't we do say the way we do business with the rest of the world is the way we will do business with the eu and in northern ireland is straightforward, in the argument, we are not going to have a hard border there. if the irish or the eu want to put it up, that will be their decisions, and completely unacceptable. that is up to them to do. we are a sovereign nation. we will not have a hard border in northern ireland. that is it. you aren't other brexiteers have made it clear you want to tolerate the idea. does that mean that mrs may's job would be on the line? she would face a challenge were she cheat to try to extend the transition?”

we will put that to theresa may's oldest political ally, the formerjeremy damian green.was by common consent the story which best epitomised the excess of the 1980s. we remember the author tom wolfe, whose death was announced today. hello. there was relative calm in gaza today — with israelis and palestinians mostly counting the cost of yesterday's violence. for israelis, it's the diplomatic and reputational cost. for the palestinians, the cost has been measured in lives — they were burying the 58 people killed yesterday. at the un security council there was an emergency debate — nikki haley, the us ambassador was something of an outlier, in arguing that israel had acted with restraint. she walked out of the session when the palestinian representative began to speak. well, if yesterday's violence was a symptom of an underlying unresolved struggle between two peoples, is any attention being paid to the cause? does president trump have a plan for the palestinians other than to tell them to live with the reality of israeli occupation? does anyone? let's hearfrom mark urban.

we know we already have the 21 months up to december 2020, but last night damian green floated the ideaiod to give the uk more time to sort out its customs arrangements and to try to get the sort of smart technology we are going to need if there is a border in northern ireland. that idea has been rubbished a senior brexiteers jacob rees—mogg, michael gove saying yesterday, no, not having an extended transition period. but it is an idea doing the rounds an interesting but damian green last night seemed to give it his support. there has been more bloodshed in indonesia after attacks that left 13 people dead. the attacks were carried out by members of a single family. the latest bomb attack was on a police station. the family of five drove up onto motorbikes and set of the explosions close to the headquarters. an eight—year—old girl, believed to be one of the attackers, is thought to have survived. translation: in order to prevent serious attacks after this incident we will intensify our investigation. we will also collaborate with experts from universities and psychologists and those of t

what's interesting about this is damian green, one of mrs may's closest associates, he floated that ideak? hmm, well... there will be additional costs in whatever system you try to introduce, there's no way around that because we are leaving the customs union where there are no costs a nd the customs union where there are no costs and you are going to put a new system in place, there are going to be additional costs. all i can say is again, the hope is the sort of ta riffs is again, the hope is the sort of tariffs we will impose will be lower than the eu's tariffs so for business it should be a more competitive environment, but let's not get away from it, if there are borders there will have to be administration and bureaucracy. that will have to be paid for, and i guess it will either be business or taxpayers. so there will be costs but there are advantages too if we manage to have lower tariffs than the rest of the eu. here is colin, he lives and works on the irish border and he's businessmen. —— colm. on both options, i'd like to ask the following questions. number one, what does this
