ellie price, thank you for the moment, ellie price in downing street.ell, i have spoken to a number of former northern ireland secretary‘s to a number of former northern ireland secretary ‘s state to a number of former northern ireland secretary‘s state today to ask them for their opinions on the deal that has been worked out between the dup and theresa may and the conservatives and what impact that could have on the political talks in northern ireland. shaun woodward was one of those, he was labour‘s northern ireland secretary between 2007 and 2010 and he told me that theresa may was treading a dangerous line by forcing a deal with the dup. since the time of john major, we got into position for the british government, labour, conservative, have taken a view that they must be neutral in dealing with they must be neutral in dealing with the politics and politicians and the parties of northern ireland. that was how we put together the good friday agreement, it is how we have put forward the many devolution programmes achieving full devolution in 2010. the

ellie price at downing street. and joining me now is the former conservative party leader, michael howard, lord howarth, thank you very much forjoining us on the bbc news channel. as someone who knows about the pressures of leadership, what would your advice be to theresa may right now? -- lord howarth. well, ithink be to theresa may right now? -- lord howarth. well, i think she be to theresa may right now? -- lord howarth. well, ithink she is be to theresa may right now? -- lord howarth. well, i think she is doing the right thing, i think that she can stay and that she should stay. i wasjust reflecting can stay and that she should stay. i was just reflecting and trying to put events into some kind of perspective. jeremy corbyn won 30 seats on thursday. i won 33 seats in 2005 and resigned the next day. sol do not think that we should let the thought that a jeremy corbyn has won some runaway victory take hold, because that is not the position at all. it may not be the position, but i suppose lots of people would arg

our correspondent ellie price is in downing street. the reshuffle and the suspects that michael gove might be invited tojoin suspects that michael gove might be invited to join the cabinet team? downing street is all aquiver with excitement, the helicopters flying over. we are waiting to see what the reshuffle will look like. no news on michael goes but it is suspected on twitter that he might make a comeback as deputy prime minister. it difficult to eat, —— difficult seat, it might be a way of uniting the pro—brexit and hard brexit wings of the party. that is a rumour at the moment. we now theresa may has hurt the team in place. —— has her keep team in place. boris johnson, michael fallon and philip hammond and david davis will remain in their posts. those announcements we re in their posts. those announcements were made last light. a press release from the irish government was responding to a conversation that theresa may had with the iris breslin enda kenny. it was suggested that both of them have agreed re—establishing power—sharin

thank you for that, ellie price.bout points of difference between the dup and theresa may, and one of those points of difference is, if you look at theresa may and what she has said about the issue of the deal on brexit committee has consistently said no deal is better than a bad deal. however, the dup fundamentally disagree with her on that, they think that no deal would be a recipe for chaos, particularly because of the trading relationship with the republic of ireland, northern ireland of course and the republic of ireland post brexit northern ireland would be the only part of the uk with a land border with an eu country. currently, the republic of ireland and northern ireland are each other‘s biggest trading partners. so that is something that we can expect the dup will be discussing with theresa may as they try to hammer out an arrangement. let's talk now to our correspondent, john campbell, who is in belfast for us, he is bbc northern ireland's economics and business editor. i know you were saying to us earlier

i'm joined by our political correspondent ellie price.hey deal with the dup that theresa may has to get. what do we know about that? and what has the leader of the dup beam ceiling? the party only has ten seats in northern ireland, but crucially they are very important seats. but the will want to be looking to support the government on big issues, such as the queen ‘s speech, but there are other issues that they will want in putin, such as trade with the republic of ireland in the weed out out of brexit. this is what she was seeing yesterday. is there any sort of deal? we have had discussions with the government. these discussions continue. we have made good progress. there was a statement from downing street that a deal had been made, so was that wrong?|j downing street that a deal had been made, so was that wrong? i am not going to negotiate on television, but we will act in the national interest of the united kingdom. there has been a lot of hyperbole about things said about the dup by people who do not know what we stand for. butjust

our correspondent ellie price is in downing street.that list it makes me think it is a reshuffle of sorts. a lot of people are staying where they we re lot of people are staying where they were before the election, those. absolutely, in the last few seconds another one staying in hisjob. jeremy hunt has been confirmed as the health secretary. of course, he has headed up the department at a time of big controversy. there has been thosejunior time of big controversy. there has been those junior doctors strikes, controversies been those junior doctors strikes, c0 ntrove i’s i es over been those junior doctors strikes, controversies over waiting times and playing a key part in the election battle and the election campaign. the nhs is always a battle ground but he keeps his position as health secretary. it would seem... it looks like there are now 11 cabinet ministers who have stayed put. going up ministers who have stayed put. going up in the world is damian green who becomes the first secretary of state. effectively he becomes the first a

i am joined by our political correspondent, ellie price.he defence secretary talking about the support of the dup on what he says with the big issues. with that be enough to see them through the foreseeable future? be enough to see them through the foreseeable future ?|j be enough to see them through the foreseeable future? i think the a nswer to foreseeable future? i think the answer to that would it would have to be. there is no formal coalition of the sort we saw in 2010 with the conservatives and the liberal democrats. they would want the dup two back the party on big issues. in return, we do not know any details, but the conservatives would clearly have to back them on certain things. there was talk last night that a good deal had been agreed last night. then, we have won had not. it was very confusing. i think it gives you some kind of sense of where we are with all of this. there is a sense that some kind of arrangement will have to be made, but the fine details have not been a rimmed out yet. —— ireland out. at we have had talks abo

ellie price there in downing street.we have been saying. just hearing from the metropolitan police federation, effectively the union for rank and file officers, the federation is saying that the figure of 48 does include some of its own officers, so some police officers are among the 48 people injured. we know that we are talking about a range of injuries, some people very badly injured, so that is the latest from the metropolitan police on top of of course the seven people who died. i have been talking to a man who was out in borough market last night, and he explained a lot about what he saw. this is richard angell. i was at iwas ata i was at a wonderful restaurant with a group of friends, some had come up from south london, i had a friend over from south london, i had a friend over from sydney and we from south london, i had a friend overfrom sydney and we happen from south london, i had a friend over from sydney and we happen to from south london, i had a friend overfrom sydney and we happen to be sitting at a table

thank you very much, ellie price.attack took place yesterday shortly after ten o'clock, eight minutes past ten. we are hearing confirmation from president and mammal that french people were involved. —— emmanuel macron. the flag is flying at half mast. these attacks took place a couple of metres apart. one at london bridge and then at borough market. the same suspects were involved. they left the van at london bridge and went to borough market. we can now talk to... we will bring your reaction throughout the morning, eyewitness reaction, and police reaction as well, as the investigation continues. counterterrorism police are at the scene making sure it is secure and the investigation can continue. with me now is an eyewitness, the managing editor at spectator magazine. lachie for your time. you witnessed the aftermath. you are with your wife in a taxi. time. you witnessed the aftermath. you are with your wife in a taxilj was in the back of an uber with my wife. we had gone out for dinner. i was on the bridge. i sudden

let's head to downing street and our political correspondent ellie price has been following all of the first of all, ellie, on that statement from the prime minister? we did hear some very strong language. we absolutely dead. it was a robust statement from the prime minister. the takeout phrase from that was, enough is enough. she talked in very strong terms about what she thinks needs to be done. she said there are four main points that would need to be addressed with theissue that would need to be addressed with the issue of islamic extremism. she talked about dealing with the ideology of islamic extremism in the first place, dealing with the internet and online internet companies that need to do more in order to deal with some of the terrorist... terrorist articles that are found on websites in some of these online companies. she also talked about, she mustn't forget the safe 5 pa ces talked about, she mustn't forget the safe spaces in the real world. she said there needed to be difficult and sometimes embarrassing conversations with some of the communities here at home. and she als

and our political correspondent, ellie price, is in downing street now.might have in terms of thursday's vote. we might have just found the first thing all of the political parties agree on something the prime minister said a few hours ago. violence can never be allowed to disrupt the democratic process. but there is no doubt we are in uncharted territory. the last sunday before the election campaign, it usually is one of the busiest days before the election. all the party leaders were expected to make campaign speeches today, they have all been put on hold. there is no doubt this event will affect this campaign both in terms of tone and content. all the parties now have a difficult line to tread between being seen to respect those who have died and not be seen to be seeking to make political gain or capital out of these events, but also to be seen out of these events, but also to be seen to address the big concern of voters which is the big issue of security. there is a sense that they will not let terrorism disrupt this campaign but it mayjust define it

our correspondent ellie price is in downing street.reaction from number ten to that tweet from the irish prime minister? as yet, i have not heard anything. but what we are expecting in the next few minutes, and ours, is a cabinet reshuffle. we expect to see a number of mps walking out the door, seeing if they have been told they have newjobs. we know amber rudd, home secretary and boris johnson, we know amber rudd, home secretary and borisjohnson, pollock secretary —— foreign secretary, philip hammond and david davis have all kept their jobs. beyond that, theresa may has do continue with business as usual and needs to appoint a cabinet. that is what we are waiting for here. but is what we are waiting for here. but is set to happen in the next few hours. she very much wants to give the appearance of business as usual. all the while, this turmoil is unfolding around her. take us through the level of support that he has, ellie. both in terms of cabinet members and conservative backbenchers? it interesting, a number came out as you imagine

our correspondent ellie price is in downing street.last minute we have heard to david gauke, what formerly a minister, has avoided to secretaries of state for work and pensions. that was damian green's job, of state for work and pensions. that was damian green'sjob, who has moved to secretary of state for the cabinet office. more crucially he is the first secretary of state would effectively mixing one of the most senior cabinet members in the cabinet. —— makes him one of the most senior cabinet members. it has been passed by george osborne, william hague and peter mandelson. but gives you a sense of that important. it is a sort of deputy pm role. we are yet to hear whether theresa may will introduce that in her cabinet. we have also seen liam fox, secretary of state for international development, walk up the street and liz truss who is justice secretary ‘s, and justin green who was education secretary. no word from any of them if they have moved or what theirjobs might be. there is a flurry of activity in downing street. we do know, i

thank you very much, ellie price, in downing street. much more from her to come.king to will geddes, security expert and an list, just before that began. i know you we re just before that began. i know you were not able to hear everything theresa may said but it was fair to say there was very strong language and talking about, for example, difficult and perhaps embarrassing conversations have to be had. a much stronger tone from the prime minister about ideology and possibly talking about increased custodial sentences as well. i am interested what you think of her taking a very strong tone here? this strong line? like you, i only heard a little bit of what she was saying but a couple of what she was saying but a couple of take—homes from that, the enough is enough, i think that is a very key, probably the strongest position i have heard a politician take in terms of saying they are going to ta ke terms of saying they are going to take definitive action. and about time, ifi take definitive action. and about time, if i may say so myself. in addition to that, the iss

our correspondent ellie price is in downing street. sure to what extent it is accurate to call this a reshuffle. no, ithink accurate to call this a reshuffle. no, i think you are probably right will stop by my calculations 14 cabinet ministers stayed put. eight positions are yet to be confirmed. the likes of the leader of the house, secretary of state... no, sorry that has gone. secretary of state for culture, for environment. we have seen andrea letson walk into number ten so we we have seen andrea letson walk into number ten so we are we have seen andrea letson walk into number ten so we are wondering whether she has kept herjob in environment. we have also seen whether she will stay on as culture secretary. we have also seen brandon lewis walked in, the policing and fire services minister. had been tipped for great things actually so we are wondering if there is a promotion at all for him, perhaps leader of the house to replace david lidington. we will wait with baited breath come to see if he comes out is to announce what is newjob

ellie price can keep us up—to—date. good morning. and the prime minister to chair this meeting in the next few hours. they will be brought up—to—date with what is going on in the investigation along with the wider security implications. when the terror attack happened at manchester less than two weeks ago, there was a lot of talk of the threat level being raised, as well as 0peration temperer, which was introduced in which 1000 personnel from the armed forces were introduced to london to help bolster the efforts of the police here in the efforts of the police here in the capital. we expect conversations like that to take place again. all of this is of course within the context of the general election which will take place in a few days' time. no official word as yet as to whether campaigning will be postponed, though we would imagine that it would do, certainly for today, after the manchester attacks had similar pauses. some don't have that luxury with the general election taking place on thursday. it is unlikely the general election

and there has been "virtually no change" in house prices over the last three months. martin ellis the introduction it is one of the stories that we love or loathe, you love it if you're on the housing ladder, you load it if you're not, because prices are still going up but less quickly. this is a more sustainable market. we had a period where house prices have increased rapidly. going back one year prices we re rapidly. going back one year prices were rising 10% in annual terms. that could not be sustained. it is much quicker than the rate at which incomes are rising. that has made it more difficult for people to be able to afford a home. we are naturally seen to afford a home. we are naturally seen that decline in the annual rate of inflation and ashley over the last few months we have seen very little movement in house prices, certainly nationally. it is very easy to get caught up in month by month figures. what we should be looking at is a trend. what is the trend saying? the last three months isa trend saying? the last three months is a good guide to the underlying trend. pric
