and we also hear from george osborne.hancellor up until last year, who was unceremoniously sacked by theresa may. he was hardly pulling his punches today. i mean theresa may is a dead woman walking, it's just how long she's going to remain on death row. what's your guess? i think we will know very shortly. we could get easily to the middle of next week and it all collapses for her, or if it doesn't — and i agree with toby, there are many tory mps who don't want a leadership contest right now — it will be delayed. but be in no doubt — look at this weekend, you've got the leader of the opposition coming on the programme as a sort of victor, and you've got the prime minister, who's supposed to have won the election, in hiding, and that speaks volumes about what has gone on in the election. we can bring in some pictures of the home secretary. she just managed to hang onto her constituency. many people are tipping her to be a possible successor. she did not have a lot to say. can the prime minister stay on as leader? she is an

george osborne has just as prime minister? george osborne hasjust said on as prime minister?d on the andrew marr show that she is a dead woman walking, strong words, and we know he has an axe to grind and clearly there is a very fluid situation and theresa may is vulnerable so they will want to get this deal nailed down as soon as possible, but for now there is not a deal in place. do you think we will get as far as the queen's speech with theresa may as prime minister? george osborne has just said on the andrew marr show that she is a dead woman walking, strong words, and we know he has an axe to grind and mean his view is incorrect and there are not people out there who think she should go straightaway. there is certainly deep unease result but there is no doubt that she has been critically wounded in this process and she is now doing her best to best to try to get the backing of those ten dup mps, as she is certainly proceeding on the assumption she will get the queen's speech. jeremy corbyn though clearly thinks he has everything to play for, he still thinks he can be pri

the metro uses george osborne's description with the former chancellor saying to get behind the primeer fears tory infighting over her leadership will damage the party further. the telegraph's reports that michael gove has been drafted in to protect theresa may from any potential leadership challenges, the paper claiming it's the prime minister's way of showing she can work with her critics. is a sign her position on brexit is softening, with a possible rethink on remaining in the customs union. the guardian says the prime minister plans to win back support from her party by adopting a more collegiate style of leadership following criticism that senior colleagues had been shut out of policy decisions. and the daily mail says she will go even further, throwing out whole chunks of the manifesto in a bid to keep senior ministers on side. the financial times repeats george osborne's claim theresa may is a dead woman walking, signalling that business leaders will take her weakness as an opportunity to push for the softer brexit the city favours. nods mods and shakes of heads? it is all ver

an interesting fact that has come out tonight is that the evening standard, edited by george osborne,r the referendum to unilaterally guarantee that eu nationals living in britain could stay in the country. and that a cabinet she was a lone voice opposing that. let's get more from our political correspondent, who is at westminster. theresa may was just asked about that, wasn't she? and he said it wasn't her recollection. that's right. interesting that george osborne has certainly been using the editorial pages of the evening standard to make his views very clear on brexit. it was interesting, he said that she, as home secretary, blocked this idea of a unilateral guarantee of citizens rights. he does make you think, at that point, david cameron was there, george osborne was there, if they we re george osborne was there, if they were serious about this guarantee, why not simply do that the day after the referendum ? why not simply do that the day after the referendum? and i wasn't aware that the home secretary got to veto things in the cabinet, if she was the lone voice, it was quite su

but criticism of her leadership style has continued, with former chancellor george osborne calling herlowing the general election result. here is our political correspondent leila nathoo.

the former british chancellor, george osborne, has said he does not believe there is enough support forard brexit following the loss of tory seats in the general election. those comments come as theresa may meets conservatives to shore up her position after they lost their majority last week. she is trying to negotiate a deal with northern ireland's democratic unionist party to give her a majority in the house of commons. as we report, it comes down to trade, as europe command a key export market for northern ireland. in economic terms, northern ireland. in economic terms, northern ireland is less economically developed as the republic of ireland and the uk. it is a smaller economy with lower levels of activity and exports and heavily dependent on the state. those sectors apart from the states it relies on our tourism, manufacturing, and food. and they need large supplies with low—skilled labour, mostly from eastern europe, especially poland. if britain leads the single market, the stated position for now, the dup may request an exemption on the free flow of labour into northern ireland

political editor, he is only weeks after the job working for david davis and he previously worked for george osborneor. the information he brings to the outside world is that he believes and his old boss probably believes, that it is making thejob more difficult by probably believes, that it is making the job more difficult by taking this absolutist position. to withdraw from the european court of justice jurisdiction. withdraw from the european court of justicejurisdiction. any transitional arrangement post brexit have to become more flexible if she wa nts to have to become more flexible if she wants to get a good deal and it is suggested it will determine the course. also perhaps, not desperately complimentary towards the people leading the negotiations because he also suggests there is more talent in the backbenchers than the front benches. in new york, several people — including at least three doctors — are believed to have been wounded after shots were fired inside a hospital. police say the suspect barricaded himself inside new york city's bronx lebanon hospital with a rifle. they swarmed the

could we see the return of george osborne? think he is throwing it in with journalism right now. he has a job there and not running in this election, but it is interesting all of the possibilities of who could be the next prime minister. and just a moment ago, one of the favorites to succeed theresa may is the current home secretary, but she herself could lose her seat. people in her constituency say there has to be a recount, it is too close to call right now. it shows you the scale of shock the conservative party is facing. even politicians, top a-list politicians, some of the most prominent in the country, suffering. again, the future is uncertain right now for the conservatives. you are right. you look at boris johnson, who knows. could regard him as an outsider. right now anything seems possible. david davis, i would not rule him out. the main brexit negotiator right now, he could be the one to garner support of the hard brexit supporters in the tory backed engine. yvonne: we are waiting for the results coming out. these

could the benefits freeze be reversed 7 but a warning from george osborne's former chief—of—staff — take much lower than it was. so if we ease up now, we'll probably be ok for a while but at some point, if another shock hits our economy, we could find ourselves vulnerable and we would really have repeated the mistakes of the past. it's a hot and toxic mix — fall in real incomes, rising prices and a government unsure of its economic direction. expect less on balancing the books and cutting those debts and more on higher government spending, to make everyone's life a little easier. kamal ahmed, bbc news. the us attorney general, jeff sessions, has fiercely denied colluding with russia to influence last year's presidential election in favour of donald trump. mr sessions was testifying before a senate committee. he said he had no meetings with russian officials about mr trump's election and had no knowledge of any campaign officials having such contacts. let me state this clearly, i have never let with or had any conversation with any russians or any foreign officials concerning any type of

on the other side, you have had comments from george osborne.ncine: what does it mean for brexit? are we looking at soft brexit or a harder brexit? >> this is unclear at the moment, francine. on the one hand, what we are hearing is a lot of administers within the conservative party is going to use it as an opportunity to push a softer form a brexit. there are others saying you got the hardline skeptics who may take this as an opportunity to push their point of view forward, but then there is a question over the possible coalition arrangement with the dep. this is another embarrassment because after announcing a deal ,ad been reachedd with the up theresa may's office said that deal has not been reached. she is meeting with the leader of the dup, and they are saying no one was a hard brexit. people are interpreting this as a possibility of a softer brexit. they want a frictionless border between northern ireland and britain. tom: she will come back with us later. story. ian, it is your united kingdom. how much of a united? ian: not very.

what is clear that george osborne is yet again happy to use his new position in the newspaper trade to. this is bbc news — the headlines: police say they're examining a range of offences — including manslaughter — after cladding on the grenfell tower block failed fire safety tests. the prime minister says her proposals for eu citizens living in the uk are fair. in northern ireland, a loyalist supergrass has pleaded guilty to 200 charges, including five murders. coming up in sportsday on bbc news... england's cricketers have won the toss. the tourists were 25—1 in the third over. southampton have appointed maurizio pellegrino as their new manager. and the 9—4 favourite won the big race of the day at royal ascot. i'll be back with more on those stories just after half past five. police investigating the fire at g re nfell tower police investigating the fire at grenfell tower has said it did start ina grenfell tower has said it did start in a fridge freezer. with us is a representative from the company which owns hotpoint. what of the company told you about the fridge freezer? first, on b

cameron, in turn, made george osborne the uk's finance minister. s now the editor of london's "evening standard," and he joins us now from london. george, let me ask you, may seemed to be riding a wave of populism. she distanced herself from cameron and you. presented herself as in favor of brexit, against some of the excesses of free market capitalism, as she saw it. what went wrong? >> well, good to be on the show, fareed. i mean, a number of things. the campaign was very wooden. she didn't connect with voters. the party's platform had a couple of policies in it which really put off elderly voters. but i think the big picture is the conservative party, and i'm a conservative, i voted conservative. i wanted the conservatives to do well, but the conservatives made a pitch essentially for the white working class who had previously been labor supporters but may have voted for brexit. in reaching for those voters, a, failed to get them, and b, put off metropolitan small l liberal minded voters who previously supported us, and the consequence was, as yo
