now tell me about this picture of the business secretary, greg clark.asual workers if they cancel their shifts at short notice in a clampdown unveiled today. greg clark is another cabinet minister who is not long for this world. he will not long for this world. he will not long keep hisjob, we don't think, when the new prime minister arrives. whichjust to when the new prime minister arrives. which just to interrupt, when the new prime minister arrives. whichjust to interrupt, you think will be boris johnson, whichjust to interrupt, you think will be borisjohnson, do you?” whichjust to interrupt, you think will be boris johnson, do you? i do, andi will be boris johnson, do you? i do, and i don't think he will keep greg clark on, so those ministers who are not going to be there much longer are desperately trying to do things as quickly as they can, so we're seeing a raft of announcements, consultations being launched, being unveiled, even the prime minister is doing it as she knows she doesn't have much longer in office either. so trying to regulate the g

hammond, greg clarke, rory stewart and david gauke are amongst them.th simon after a warm and largely dry wood, the weather has been changing in the past 24 hours with the arrival of some welcome rain in southern part. this was earlier in kent, a lot of cloud around. heading through the softening, things should brighten up with the sunny spells for most but a you shower particularly in the north—west. scotland and northern ireland have some in particular this afternoon. further south in england and wales, it is largely dry and sunny. a bit of cloud holding on in the far south—east. 21—24d, a bit ever breeze from the west but fine for much of northern england. those are the showers in northern ireland and scotland, quite blustery but hit and scotland, quite blustery but hit and miss. the odd rumble of thunder mixed in with some of the heavier ones. the open continues at royal portrush. we further showers at times. we could see some more significant rainfall affecting the open. overnight, the showers in the north fade away so a lot of dry and clear weath

the business secretary greg clark who is in opposition to a no—deal brexit has been sacked.ay's former de facto deputy, david lidington, gave his notice after the former prime minister resigned. and the communities secretary, james brokenshire who did back boris johnson in the leadership race has announced on twitter that he will be leaving the government. this follows the earlier resignations today of the chancellor philip hammond, thejustice secretary, david gauke and the international development secretary rory stewart. he's wasted no time in selecting his new cabinet with largely pro brexit appointments. sajid javid becomes the first british asian chancellor of the exchequer. the former brexit secretary dominic raab is now the new foreign secretary replacing jeremy hunt. priti patel returns to the government as home secretary. borisjohnson‘s former conservative leadership rival michael gove becomes cabinet office minister. stephen barclay will continue negotiations with the european union ben wallace a close ally of borisjohnson replaces penny mordaunt as defence secreta

very forceful and he made it very clear that in no way he could count an ideal situation at all, greg clarkom the business department of course, marie stewart who made a good showing in the initial situation with leadership contest. there will be others like alan duncan and various other people who will follow as well but they are not cabinet ministers. what i find fascinating is that there is no question that the countries in the mood that if we are going to brexit, could you please get on with it. but you don't do it all cost and so right, that is the date, we are out of you. there has to be some deliberation, one can only hope that we haven't had this. this hiatus for the last three weeks people have been sitting there whistling and thinking, christmas night, let's get on with the 23rd ofjuly, i hope they have some planning in place because we certainly don't know about it. european union appears to be not very interested in what anybody has to say, away the withdrawal agreement. one can hope that there is a new personnel there that there is a new personnel there that will bring in the b

not to be confused with clark greg, if they have a bidding war, that would be the cherry on top. that's enough to guarantee him a position in the mad munhaoney h of fame. once you know a deal is in the works, that's when the arbitration steps in even though it might go out at 28, if it goes out, i'm not getting behind it here it moved to much however, there is definitely a case for owning the potential acquirer, broad com. this is an odd deal for the company. the second software purchase in a row following the technologies that worked out well back then that transaction did strike many as odd and stock got hammered but the stock only rocketed higher from last november when the deal closed and peaked with trade tensions with china heated up now that the government is maybe ratcheting down somewhat, we can focus on fundamentals and they are real good. the ceo is a brilliant deal maker. we know the takeover is doing better than expected and part because they shared a ton of large enterprise customers now they are trying to buy symantec he's trying to get a larger piece of the techno

the business secretary greg clark, who is in opposition to eight no—deal brexit has been sacked. former deputy give his notice after the former prime minster resigned. community secretary james brokenshire, who minster resigned. community secretaryjames brokenshire, who did back borisjohnson secretaryjames brokenshire, who did back boris johnson in secretaryjames brokenshire, who did back borisjohnson in the race has announced on twitter that he'll be leaving the government. northern ireland secretary karen bradley will be returning to the backbenches, as police culture secretary. education secretary damien hinds has tweeted to say he has left government and caroline noakes to say he has left government and caroline noa kes has to say he has left government and caroline noakes has left her position, too. well, in the last few minutes we have also heard that mel stride has left the government. let us stride has left the government. let us speak to a former cabinet minister, whojoins us now from another part of westminster. this is pretty worth of stuff, isn't it? theresa may sacke

let‘s hear the rationale of one of them, greg clark.doesn‘t do is stop no deal. it creates a window to try and prevent it happening. it is still the legal default, it is still not completely in the uk‘s hands. let‘s have a chat with one of the mp5 who is part of this effort to try and stop no deal happening, the snp's try and stop no deal happening, the snp‘s leader down here ian blackford. how are you going to stop no deal happening? you are right in what you say that if nothing else happens we leave on a no deal basis as the default. the office for budget responsibility has made it clear no—deal brexit will really hurt, people will lose jobs. how are you going to stop it? today has been a momentous day and i'm so grateful colleagues across the house have givena very colleagues across the house have given a very clear signal to the new prime minister, because that's what this is about, but he's not going to get away, if he chooses to prorogue parliament, and we have given ourselves a mechanism that parliament can sit and we can stop th

business secretary greg clark gives the opposition benches this model to celebrate the lack of committeending, we thought we'd look back through the eyes of a parliamentarian who watched the apollo 11 mission on tv as a teenager. crossbencher lord mawson shared his memories during a debate on space science and technology. guidance is internal. 12, 11, ten, nine, ignition sequence start, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero, all engines running. lift—off! we have lift—off. many of us in this chamber, i suspect, are old enough to remember exactly where we were and what we were doing at that moment in time as the world held its breath and came together and watched in awe these amazing events in black—and—white footage on our television screens. i can certainly remember where i was, and the sense of wonder it sparked in me. i was 15 years old. it was only eight years before this that president kennedy had set nasa this mission and seven months since nasa made a bold decision to send apollo 11 all the way to the moon on the first manned flight on a massive rocket. on that fine morning in 19

greg clarke, who later resigned from the government.inuously—serving female mp known as the "mother of the house", harriet harman. even her harshest critics must recognise her integrity, her commitment to public service, her dedication to this country — and those are qualities that none of us should ever take for granted. but can ijust offer her a word of sisterly advice? sometimes you just have to be a bit more careful when a man wants to hold your hand. laughter. i wish — i thank herfor her service as our prime minister, and i sincerely wish her all the very best for the future. can i thank the right honourable lady for her question, and of course, the right honourable ladyjoined this house in 1982, when there was a female prime minister, but very few women in this house. and she has played a very important role, and she can be proud of the role she played in ensuring that more women came into this house as labour members of parliament. i'm told that over the last three years, i've answered over 4,500 questions over 140 hours in this

greg clark with a present for his labour shadow although given mr clark may be about to leave his jobhould have got him a parting gift. now if you're feeling under the weather, who would you call? people can now ask for health advice using amazon alexa devices. under an agreement between the government and the firm the voice—assisted technology can search the official nhs england website when users ask a medical question. in the lords, a leading obstetrician, lord patel, revealed he'd tried out the new service for himself. i asked five questions at weekend, all health—related. one of them i repeated twice. the one i repeated twice, it gave me two different advice. one was to call 999, the other was to go to bed and rest. laughter. i know it is not a diagnostic technology, but it runs the risk of a diagnosis being made. so the key question is what trials are being carried out, what data protection do we have against amazon collecting vast amounts of data, and what is the risk of a misdiagnosis? hear, hear. i don't know how often noble lords are getting on with their alexa in the corner

greg clark, the former ceo, was trying to mount a competing offer. where does that stand?t is unclear. now, the thing symantec wants is more money. it seems a little bit less likely that this competing offer from the former ceo will pass because if a company as big as broadcom is not meeting the threshold, then someone cobbling together financing from different places might also be under pressure, particularly if you take on debt for a deal like that. this is not a company that is growing in terms of revenue and it is also not a company that is profitable, as a lot of other software companies. that is what they wanted, to cut down some expenses and have stable revenue. emily: broadcom still dangling the carrot, saying they are still keen to do a deal. what could bring the two sides back to the table? mike: the one obvious thing is that although there might be some bruised ceo egos involved, there are investors who want their money. silverlake has representation on the board at symantec, as does starboard. as an activist investor. and that's going to create a real economic

greg clark had been ousted a few months ago. there have been an acting investigation.hen starboard value, an activist investor, came on the scene and was pressuring the company and they got a few board seats. so it really is a vulnerable time for symantec for a takeover. >> we were just talking about the t-mobile-sprint deal and the regulatory issues at that. are there going to be cfius or regulatory issues with this deal, considering broadcom in the past wasn't able to get through the qualcomm deal? >> before broadcom went after qualcomm, they had a singapore headquarters. they have now moved totally to the u.s., so they are trying to alleviate that issue. cyber security is a national security issue and symantec does work for the u.s. government. so the cfius review is something investors will be watching to see how it goes. there could also be an e.u. review. so no slam dunk for any large deal where there is this national security element. >> harsh, putting regulatory concerns to one side, you really have spelled out why you think this might be a perfect fit and why

we do know about the business secretary greg clark, in opposition to a new deal brexit very publicly. after the former prime minister resigned. 0f notice after the former prime minister resigned. of course, the chancellor, philip hammond going earlier in the data forjust hearing, northern ireland secretary karen bradley has resigned. that follows the earlier resignation, as i say, of rory stewart, international development secretary and philip hammond earlier in the day. i was just looking at some of the tweets they had any last hour. starting to look like the night of the long knives. nigel morris has just tweeted that he has already broken a modern political record. nine cabinet ministers have been sacked so far. it is a complete clear out. let us discuss a little bit of that. deputy political editor of the sunday times is with me. so much to say. let us start, martha, with what is going on across the road, at the moment. there is nothing for loyalty here, we have just seen that with james brokenshire. no, that is very order. he would have thought... it is going to bea he would have

the business secretary greg clark said the announcement was a vote of confidence in the uk automotiveg thousands of skilled jobs. let's get more on this now from theo leggett, our business correspondent who's atjlr's castle bromwich plant for us. there must be some relief and some celebration there. absolutely, a bit of both i think. jaguar land rover has been under the cosh are a bit of late and announce it was cutting 4500 late and announce it was cutting a500 jobs worldwide earlier that year. the majority in the here in the uk. workers at this factory have been wondering what any future with hope. the old second max was coming to the end of its run that was produced in the sector pay and one worker told me that morale was at rock bottom and he did not know what was going to happen next. this announcement seems to safeguard the future of this plant. i am joined by steve turner of unite the union. steve, what does this announcement mean for your members? there is fantastic news, not just for today's workforce here at castle bromwich but for those who want to come and work any stable

the others, the so—called squad, david cork, theresa may, greg clark, they were watching another tusslehing the cricket, where england we re watching the cricket, where england were fighting back after a rather lamentable start. i'm not sure if thatis lamentable start. i'm not sure if that is a metaphor, or maybe it is? they are all smiling. how long will they be smiling? we shall see. be careful what you wish for. the democrats got what they wanted — the former special counsel, robert mueller, on the stand. but his halting performance and his one—word answers yesterday left many wondering what exactly they had gained. there's little evidence that his response to questions about his two—year investigation into russian election meddling and president trump's conduct has changed any minds and, on the big question of impeachment, he doesn't seem to have given democrats any extra ammunition to start procedings. a short while ago, i spoke to democratic senator chris coons about yesterday's hearings. thank you very much forjoining me. did robert mueller‘s testimony yesterday have any impact o

i would think other prominent remainers, greg clark, david liddington who was very much the points man, shake up and change the feel of this government so change the feel of this government soi change the feel of this government so i imagine there‘s going to be a pretty significant clear ad. that carries with it huge risks because of course there are going to be people who are bruised by this process , people who are bruised by this process, there are people who are going to be disappointed and there are people who are going to feel they haven‘t got what they deserve and you know, it‘s a basic rule of cabinet reshuffle is as they always end in tears somewhere. that‘s going to bea end in tears somewhere. that‘s going to be a difficult one for boris johnson, particularly because he‘s not a man who you know, is that adept at dishing out tough medicine and being pretty forthright with people, that‘s not really his style but he‘s going to have to do that and the signs are that he‘s going to wa nt to and the signs are that he‘s going to want to put brexiteers in the main posts, the big posts

the business secretary, greg clark, who is in opposition to a no—deal brexit has been sacked.minister resigned. james brokenshire, who backed boris johnson, he was one of the first to back him, he announced on twitter that he will be leaving the government, this follows the earlier resignation today of the chancellor, philip hammond and thejustice secretary, david gauke, and international department secretary, rory stewart, all of them deeply opposed to a no—deal brexit. let's bring injack blanchard from politico, who will be busy at it tonight, pulling all the strands together. you love days like this, don't you? as a political journalist, you take the reality out of it and it is so much fun to watch the drama of it unfolding. how many days have we had like this over the last few years? politics feels like a roller—coaster since 2016 and it is happening again today. politicians ultimate career is being added, then appearing as senior members of the cabinet never would have dreamt coming back. theresa may was a city is trying to balance the cabinet, filling a for about things

now, if you get for example, the likes of philip hammond, david cork, who knows greg clark? you get a senior tories who have loyally plugged away at brexit, turning against borisjohnson, plugged away at brexit, turning against boris johnson, that plugged away at brexit, turning against borisjohnson, that gives a green light to others, added to which, as we get closer to the precipice, more tory mps i suspect will get the collie wobbles, so a0 last week, don't be at all surprised if those numbers go up, which would make it very hard for borisjohnson to pursue no deal, not impossible, not impossible, the legal default remains no deal. but he would have to circumvent parliament and i'm not sure he's got an answer as to how he might be able to do that. norman cannot thank you for that, we'll come back to you for more on the collie bubble count as you get it! sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's will perry. it's the morning after the night before? good morning. shane lowry is the new open champion after a dominant display on the final day's play at

. —— greg clarke. the cricket has been more successful than yesterday.long time. they are concerned. some of them now and saying they are worried about no—deal, they hate the cabinets that have been put together. that is where the uk is heading. you go back to theresa may yesterday and her a nswer to to theresa may yesterday and her answer to yvette cooper, yvette coopehs answer to yvette cooper, yvette cooper‘s response, sorry, theresa may‘s response was, where he could have voted for the deal. you always knew the alternative could be no—deal. there are several mps who would be willing to vote for a deal but when it‘s come back to the house of commons? if it is work to do that with some changes, you just never know how many labour mps might get behind it, it might get through. that seems a long way off at the moment but if done —— borisjohnson could have some change, it is possible. he has put in place a brexit team who are all passionate about brexit, who are willing to go down a new deal route specific managed to do it he can turn around to those in h

clark, is ceo, greg trying to drum up a rival bit, as i understand it. re a chance for a legitimate rival bid? liana: the activist investor who essentially ousted clark, they are involved at symantec. the question, what they want to sell to the ceo they just ousted? ,wo firms, respectable names have partnered with clark. it is sort of a long shot bid. they can't compete with broadcom on price. this deal requires a lot of financing. clark's bid is not the main attraction. emily: what are the chances that this happens as-is or if talks fall apart? liana: in dealmaking, talks can all fall apart last minute. but, it looks like the deal is on track to be announced the week of july 15. this is something both companies are working very hard at right now. there are still things we don't know. the final premium, what the final stock price will be. we do know it is an all-cash bid. it is really down to the final legs of negotiation. isly: the broadcom ceo, what his long-term plan? liana: one of my sources told me that his vision, he may have even said this before,

the business secretary, greg clark, has not resigned because he wants to be told he is sacked.n for the british economy. who will take over? does borisjohnson do what theresa may does and finely balanced the whole time and keep the numbers even between those on the leave side of the argument and those on the remains i? i am not sure borisjohnson will do that. if you look at some of the names in the frame making a comeback, like priti patel, people are talking about bringing back the gang that was on the vote leave bus. his ally say he gets things done, he will shake things up and he will make sure brexit happens, that is what he is known to do. maybe priti patel will come back in, sajid javid as chancellor potentially in dominic raab coming back in. what does he do with the brexiteers? in buckingham
