there is an awareness from downing street that while they we re from downing street that while they wereto talk about trade in the context of a post—brexit trade deal, regional politics, completely dominated by the situation in north korea after the situation in north korea after the test which fell through japanese airspace before crashing into the sea last week. some words from the prime minister published by downing street describing the latest action by north korea is reckless, saying it poses an unacceptable further threat to the international community. in a statement, mrs may reflects on her talks with prime minister rb in japana talks with prime minister rb in japan a couple of days ago and the conversations that have gone on at roughly the same time at the un security council. she adds in the context of sanctions and the un looking at new measures, this is even more pressing now. international community has universally condemned this test and must come together to continue to increase the pressure on north korean leaders to stop their destabilising actions. the tricky thing from

donald tusk earlier in downing street.spondent chris mason is in downing street. no progress yet, yet he says there has been a change of approach on behalf of the uk government. is he therefore hinting that progress will now be made in pretty short order? he seems to be hinting at that, whilst at the same time suggesting that the uk have cleared this hurdle of sufficient progress in negotiations so far. that's the hurdle, although fairly ill—defined, that the eu was put down before there can be further talks about future relationships. we are into round for brussels this week, focused on three issues. the irish border, what will be the frontier between the european union and the uk, the border between northern ireland and the republic. the issue of citizens rights and the financial settlement, the divorce bill. we have from michel barnier, the chief negotiator for the eu, and have from michel barnier, the chief negotiatorfor the eu, and the welcoming of the constructive tone of theresa may's speech in florence. clearly the

and watch the windows as cricket comes to downing street. hello and welcome.ls you're after, well we've got plenty after a thrilling opening night of champions league action. three british teams featured, celtic chelsea and manchester united. the hardest test faced the scottish champions as they welcomed big spending paris saint germain and their formidable forward line to celtic park. neymar, kylian mbappe and edinson cavani all on target in a 5—0 win. chris mclaughlin was there. when a club of celtic‘s stature is worth less than one player, you know mad. maybe not. a suitably slick goalfrom the mad. maybe not. a suitably slick goal from the brazilian. mad. maybe not. a suitably slick goalfrom the brazilian. killeen member showed his worth. valued a little bit less than neymar, luckily he still knows where gulbis. the third part of psg's terrific trio got in on the action. edison cavani pull down the box, getting up to make it three. the game over at half—time. party time for ps6. pride all celtic could play for. scott sinclair almost got one. the french side

oliver robbins is moving to downing street to work more directly for theresa may.or number ten said the appointment would "strengthen coordination" of brexit across the government, as the next round of negotiations with brussels approaches. it comes as downing street insists the cabinet is united behind the government's plans for leaving the eu, despite the foreign secretary's decision to publish an article, setting out his own vision for brexit. our political correspondent leila nathoo reports. the most eye—catching claim from the referendum campaign. since widely discredited, but this weekend boris johnson revived it. saying that brexit would mean roughly retrieving about that much of an eu and it would be a fine thing that was spent on the nhs. it led to the uk's most senior statistics official saying he was surprised and disappointed the foreign secretary had chosen to revisit the number. warning it was a clear misuse of figures. boris johnson hit back saying his article had been wilfully distorted and misrepresented. statisticians set ourselves, are we clarify

both sides want to downing street.sides want to see the progress and the pace of these talks quicken and appointments like this in the middle of a week when the real stuff is going on in brussels, are at least to some extent, an indicator about. whenever anybody comes out to speak, you have to get down on your knees and crouch? yes, as is the story of my life, always the last to the party, turn up about five or ten minutes before donald tusk leads and i am now ina before donald tusk leads and i am now in a deserted street and who knows, donald tusk will be halfway back to brussels on the train. thank you, chris nations. —— chris mason. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, has said labour is preparing for government with "war game type scenario planning", including what to do if there were a dramatic fall in the value of the pound. he was speaking last night at a fringe meeting in brighton organised by the campaign group, momentum. 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports from the conference. is this the day th

com pletely brussels, and downing street completely denying this and saying there is no truthim shipman or close to number ten, close to tim shipman or close to numberten, i close to tim shipman or close to number ten, i should say, sorry, close to tim shipman or close to number ten, ishould say, sorry, a source close to theresa may, says they are planning how to do the brexit bill, and whether to do it as an early payment. again, it is coming back to numbers, and we still don't know what the bill is going to be. we still don't know what the cost of the negotiations is going to be. and over what a long period of time. and rather oddly, ithink, given that most sunday papers rather like doing polls and things, they have a survey saying seven out of ten voters and four out of ten tories disagreed with mrs may's assertion that she should fight the next election. 30% of voters want her to fight on, 40% want her to quit before 2022. i find it odd that they didn't put that further up. when it comes to this, it is time we got figures out there. a whole of the negotiation is being held

for the moment, factory much, chris mason in downing street.an island of puerto rico is without power and under night—time curfew as it struggles to deal with the aftermath of hurricane maria, the most powerful storm to hit the us territory in nearly a century. as maria moves away from puerto rico, the us national hurricane centre has given a warning that the storm could regain major hurricane status as it skirts past the dominican republic and heads towards the bahamas. the entire island of puerto rico is also under flood warning, with the storm predicted to dump over 50cm of rain over the next 2a hours. our correspondent will grant is in puerro rico. it turned out to be the most powerful storm to hit puerto rico in almost a century. and it really felt like that. all of the people hunkered down, whether it was in the shelter, in their homes, they would have heard the most incredible sound of the wind and rain lashing down. that lasted for several hours. what we are seeing now are the last vestiges of the storm as it makes its way off the terri

downing street says the prime minister is ready to increase the pace of brexit negotiations, suggestingld be continuous rather than for one week every month. mps will begin debating draft legislation on withdrawing from the european union later this week. the so—called repeal bill, which is seen as a key plank of the government's brexit policy, transfers eu law into uk legislation. the chancellor, phillip hammond warned off backbenchers, and expressed confidence in the government's vision of the uk‘s role post—brexit. i would say that now was not the time to disrupt this piece of enabling legislation. we are making progress in our discussions with the eu, and we are mapping out the cause for britain's future. i am confident we will be able to achieve the kinds of strategic partnership that we wa nt of strategic partnership that we want with the eu, as an independent country post brexit in 2019. that was philip hammond. shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell said was philip hammond. shadow chancellor john mcdonnell said that he was concerned about giving the government a blank cheque... we resp

but we will work on it. 0ur political correspondent, chris mason, is in downing street.david davis was hoping for a breakthrough. on the face of it, it doesn't. the whole point of the speech from the prime minister in florence last week on brexit was to try to act as a lubricant for the talks that are grinding on in brussels with frustration on both sides about a lack of progress. donald tusk is one of the big hitters in brussels and he said he welcomed what he saw as the constructive tone of the prime minister. but crucially, he said there hadn't been sufficient progress in the talks. that really matters because until the eu determines there has been sufficient progress on the current negotiations, they say they can't beat movement on to the future trading relationship. so did mrs may's words in italy last week do the business? a bit, yes, but perhaps not enough yet from her perspective. they will not be worried about that yet, or surprised at what donald tusk said, but they will hope to be able to point to progress on thursday at the end of the current round of negotia

downing street is confident this speech will shift the dial in the talk. big movements you are talking about, firstly on the 2—year transition, brussels says this amounts to the first formal request from the uk it want such a transition but also the second big thing is the future relationship after that transition. the prime minister did flesh out some details. she is saying no to the norway option. that would have involved us abiding by european rules. significantly, she said no to the canada option and the concern is that would be too restrictive on trade. here is my report on theresa may's day trip to florence. in the finest traditions of the nobility‘s grand tour of yore, theresa mayjourneyed to the birthplace of the renaissance to pay homage to european civilisation. this was no leisurely aristocratic tour. the prime minister had political business to transact as she stretched out a hand to our european partners. though the manner was hardly a deity reaching out from on high, in fact, it all had the feel of a prime minister blinking first. as we meet

another person from within the inner downing street circle says, i had no idea who in numberio streetircle says, i had no idea who in number 10 thought this was a good idea. the metro, abortion is wrong even after rape. this is jacob rees—mogg, speaking on television today. yes, he did an interview this morning he talked about his views on abortion and in some ways his position on this is not that surprising given he is very vocal about his ardent catholic beliefs and he has voted pretty much in every division you can see against 93v every division you can see against gay marriage. why this becomes a story is that jacob is being talked about more as a potential leadership candidate, when and if any vacancy arises, and how that will set him at odds with the modernising strand that was championed by david cameron. the daily mirror, gender neutral role, school bands skirts and the head brings in a new uniform policy? this is fascinating. the debate about transgender, this is a very good way of illustrating this. it throws up so many questions, for example, they had the music awards last

that is why theresa may is meeting donald tusk in downing street this afternoon, as pa rt downing streetatic push, a bit ofa part of a concerted diplomatic push, a bit of a charm offensive, if you like, theresa may was hosting the irish taoiseach yesterday in downing street and we had borisjohnson going to visit the czech republic, slovakia and romania. the fourth round of brexit talks are ongoing in brussels at the moment, so there is a many fronted process going on at the moment and theresa may will be hoping to keep those lines of communication open with donald tusk to try to persuade him after that florence speech in which an overture was made about the transition period and honouring obligations to the eu, she will be hoping that these talks being held alongside the official round of brexit negotiations, will go some way to persuade you cancel that sufficient progress has been made in order to kick—start brexit talks on to trade. realistically, how likely is it? i think theresa may will hope the speech in florence has generated enough good will. she has generated enough good will. s

the geography of downing street.uilding where the munich conference took place. it's hardly changed. it was untouched by allied bombing. a lot of the decoration is still there. the study where the conference took place, you can see. hitler's apartment. there i was very fortunate to get into that, as it is a police headquarters, closed off. that was staggering. do you think you know what it felt like to walk into that room, when chamberlain and hitler met in person? i think i do. i read all the accounts i could. history to me is a very live thing. i don't necessarily believe in ghosts, but i believe in picking up, as it were, the tremors of the past. i feel that quite strongly. when i go to these places... always in my books i have a strong place in place, i needed that physicality. to go there, yes, i did feel i could imagine what it was like. the room was filled with uniforms, ss uniforms, goring, himmler, hess. various types. the italians in their smart fascist uniforms. then these rather dowdy civilians from londo

yesterday, there was a surreptitious photo taken outside downing street, a d raft taken outside downingt, a draft of the prime minister's speech for florence next week, and at the top it said 4500 words, and it is interesting this is also 4000 words. it is the required length. it is incredibly brutal timing from the foreign secretary because now, this big speech that she is planning for next friday, which is supposed to lay out the next stage of her vision for brexit, it is going to be seen entirely through the prism of what he has laid out here. it is very interesting timing, i wonder what his cabinet colleagues will make of it. the headline is interesting because it goes back to one of the key promises of the leave campaign of which boris johnson key promises of the leave campaign of which borisjohnson was essential pa rt of which borisjohnson was essential part of, with reference to spending on the nhs. yes, he is saying that we will take that £350 million for the nhs and all the remainers said, this is completely wrong, you should withdraw that and take it off the bus. now he is say

, to set up his own agenda without approvalfrom downing street, there are questions about whetherare up into a new crisis. that overshadows everything. maybe the prime minister can gain some ground this week. maybe she can restore some of her battered authority. the fact is that the sight of her arguing that she is in the driving seat of her own government, it is not an admission of strength but a mark of weakness. coming up at 6am on breakfast, dan walker and louise minchin will have all the day's news, business and sport. they'll also have more on warnings that your home could be prone to a hacking attack — if you use a set top box that's been adapted to illegally stream movies and sport. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: myanmar is facing mounting pressure over the plight of rohingya muslims. in the last hour, the country's leader aung san suu kyi condemned human rights violations in rakhine state and said she will allow the refugees to return. a powerful hurricane has made landfall in the eastern caribbean. the us national hurricane centre says hurricane maria is a poten

cake and eating it, is finally coming at an end. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in downing streetw. it wasn't exactly cheerful? it wasn't. donald tusk is quiet and understated in his public demeanour. i was standing in the street about a metre away from his shoes, crouching down beneath the photographers behind me. i could barely hear his words. he was very clear in his analysis and what is interesting is, we get a little insight into the eu's sense of the extent to which the speech the prime minister gave in florence on friday has changed things are not. one of the central purposes of that speech was to act asa purposes of that speech was to act as a lubricant running up against the frustrations on both sides of the frustrations on both sides of the negotiations. what did donald tusk say question yes, he said he thought the tone of the prime minister's speech last week was constructive and positive. he clearly though is not willing to be won over by those arguments we heard borisjohnson won over by those arguments we heard boris johnson articulate won over by those arguments we h

it was a highly organized protest all the night, people peacefully marching down the street. at one point they tried to shut down a freeway, but police prevented them from doing that. police took a hands off approach, let them wander throughout st. louis, didn't do anything. but as the hours have gone on, they decided they needed to be a lot more aggressive, don. >> and then the bulk of this, when you talk about the mayor house, nike in the 9:00 p.m. hour, the situation has changed drastically on the ground. you said they have disdispersed the protestors, but you're not sure where they're heading. >> exactly. i can tell you this one -- this slice of this neighborhood where we are, i'm not seeing too many protestors. but you still have this heavy police presence out here. why? i can't tell you exactly. perhaps they're just trying to keep them from going further down this street. or perhaps they have some intel that they're marching towards this area. i can't tell you for certain. but still dozens of officers lining this particular street. >> it's also very nice residential sect

minister, but has oui’ become the prime minister, but has our supporters not to conflict with downing streetit says that he's ready to mount a pity she is forced from office. we knew that, really. and secondly, as you rightly pointed out, at the end of this, there are four bullet points, and it says that he is telling his supporters not to clash with downing street. so he's not going to do it, and we're back to where we were, which is that the prime minister position is weak and unstable. there is lots of talk that she will not last long and so on. but when will this happen? calen happened? then she will get on with the contenders putting their names forward. david davis would be an obvious one do that. and the conservative party would decide when it would be an expedient time for them to change. it is strange when you have the capping of labour party conference going on. at the tory said to be going on their brakes right now. the daily telegraph, speaking about: boris, single minded on brexit. this as allies of philip hammond suggesting that he does not understand the intricacies of leaving

downing street have confirmed that mrs may will give an update on brexit and the negotiations so farnderlining the fact that the uk wa nts to underlining the fact that the uk wants to continue having a deep and special relationship with the eu wa nts special relationship with the eu wants the uk leads. the prime minister's spokesperson added that the prime minister wanted to give a speech on the uk's future relationship with europe in its historic heart and that she sees florence as having cultural and economic ties that spanned centuries in centuries and that that was why theresa may would be giving her speech there. her spokesperson also said that when the uk leads the eu it will be leaving the european union, not europe. that is when the speech is happening and we are. but, of course, we know that there has been slow progress, apparently, on the talks so far. i think some will see this speech is perhaps an attempt to change the atmosphere, smooth things over, try to speed things up so that the uk and those negotiators in brussels can move onto talks about the future relationship t

it's interesting that the downing street are willing to increase the pace of negotiations.ss to yet discuss trading relationships in future. they say they are exploring ways in which they are exploring ways in which they can increase the pace of talks, perhaps meeting more regularly. nothing has been agreed yet. the next big challenge is on thursday, dean rock you —— the eu withdrawal bill will be debated in the house of commons. it cut and pastes eu law into british law. the big change is that immigration will be dealt with in separate legislation. it gives an opportunity for those who oppose the government to make mischief and certainly the government are worried that more pro—eu mps in their ranks might be willing to cause problems. earlier, chancellor philip hammond read them the riot act.|j earlier, chancellor philip hammond read them the riot act. i say, now is not the time to disrupt this vitally important piece of enabling legislation. we are making progress in our discussions with the european union. we are mapping out a course for britain's future. i am confident

we should say our esteemed colleague chris mason has it on high authority from downing street that thisolute rubbish. they say it is to be not true. maybe we should move on? tim shipman, also an esteemed colleague, says a tory source who has discussed the plans with theresa may's inner circle, saying they are planning to approve a politically explosive brexit bill of up to £50 billion after the conservative party conference in an effort to kick—start the talks and negotiations with the european union. it means britain would pay between £7 billion and £17 billion a yearfor between £7 billion and £17 billion a year for three years after brexit before ending the sizeable direct payments. i don't know if you believe that? the trouble is, it's about time somebody put a figure on what we are going to have to pay. i think the onus is on michel barnier and the eu, they are the ones selling this thing. we are the buyers, if you like, and they should come up with it. we fight estimates of any thing from 40 billion to 100 billion. let's start with the actual figure so that we know what it is. then

let's go to our political correspondent in downing street.that donald tusk, wealth there is deadlock elsewhere, is one of those people who could move things forward ? people who could move things forward? the real action is going on in brussels, it is michel barnier carrying out those negotiations on behalf of the eu. these talks between donald tusk and theresa may are going on in parallel, have been going on in parallel. they have been there for over an hour and a half but he struck almost the same time we we re but he struck almost the same time we were hearing from michel barnier in brussels as the latest round of negotiations have got underway. talking about being cautiously optimistic. he was happy to hear the uk was getting more real and more constructive and he hoped this was the end of having our cake and eating it part of negotiation. but it was damage control, as far as he was concerned and no sufficient progress had been made yet. but theresa may, will hope that her speech in florence has gone some way towards shifting that view. w

donald tusk, the european council president, has just arrived in downing street for talks with theresath, the eu is due to decide if it's ready to discuss a new trade relationship with britain. brussels has been demanding more details on citizens' rights, a financial settlement and the future of the irish border. in a moment, we'll speak to chris morris in brussels, but first to downing street and our political correspondent leila nathoo. what the talks today expected to achieve? sophie, donald tusk got a warm welcome from theresa may when he arrived at downing street with 30 minutes ago. this will be a chance to discuss theresa may's florence speech, the major intervention she made last week, when she offered to honour the uk's financial obligations in the current eu budget, and talked about the two year possible transition period. she is hoping to be able to kick—start those brexit talks, of course, the official round of talks are going on at the moment in brussels. but she is hoping this parallel diplomatic meeting will be able to sort of persuade brussels to move on from the double

you have had to stand in downing street the long—time today!this unusually long meeting? what is striking is how long the meeting lasted and how limited downing street are in what they are saying afterwards, in fact they are not saying anything at all. normally afterwards reporters like me will get told the gist of what was kicked around and we know the gist is the speech tomorrow but as far as specifics are concerned we have learned nothing. clearly there was choreography with the chancellor and prime minister leaving almost hand—in—hand. when you scour the history books as we have been doing the last half—hour, i think you have to go back to september 1992 to find a cabinet meeting that lasted longer at two hours a5, compared with two hours 30 today. what was that cabinet meeting on 25 years ago? on the uk crashing out of what was known as the rem, yes another row about the european union. before tomorrow we understand jean—claude juncker at the european commission will speak to the prime minister on the telephone this afternoon, that is some
