well, mr wright's local where is the previous one wasn't. oh, i don't know. know. should i know? no, he's in brussels. oh, i see, right. yeah. and what's he doing there? 0h, go away! laughter you're a boring prat. laughter good evening. if you arejust good evening. if you are just off the bed wondering what's in store tomorrow, a change is coming. it will take most of the day before it arrives for many of us but there is wet and windy weather on its way. ahead of that we could have patchy fog forming across north—east england in particular, but it will bea dry england in particular, but it will be a dry and sunny day and still pleasa ntly warm be a dry and sunny day and still pleasantly warm if you keep the sunshine. cloud thickening and the rain arrives in northern ireland by lunchtime and into western fringes as well. i suspect if you get some sunshine you will see 20 degrees or as high as 22 in the south—east corner. the cloud and rain gathers in south—east corner and wales but the heaviest rain is likely to be in northern ireland by the middle of the afte

mr. wright is deputy assistant secretary for health and director of the disease and prevention of health.puties to take place. we'll see what happens on more permanent basis but you know, cheryl, a little bit earlier at this hour, look at dollar figures around this and watch the story build throughout the week. secretary price was on with our colleague bret baier last night talking a little bit about his side of the story. 26 charter flights around the united states. total of $400,000. he said i can pay back 52,000 of that. add to that the "politico" story broke this story, basically doubled, if that part is true, adding overseas travel, the total is million dollars. it wasn't enough in the end, that $52,000 secretary price offered to pay back, given all the backlash and attention this story was getting throughout the week. the president, we took this live, played back some of his comments earlier called him a fine man earlier. compared his travel to some of the travel in the previous administration but in the end he did receive the resignation from secretary price, cheryl, and accepted i

mr. wright currently serves as the deputy assistant secretary for health and director of the office of diseasend health promotion. there you have it. >> we all got our prediction right. >> there's that. >> this is -- seemed inevitable. he was not going to survive this. trump was too angry at him. the president has no qualms about casting aside people who have been a disappointment or creating bad headlines. he feels the price story has drowned out everything else thus week and this is something that i think had price not done this now, all the signs were pointing to the president firing him tonight. >> does this suggest that if the puerto rico crisis generates enough bad headlines he'll hold someone in his cabinet responsibility for that bad press or was this the personal failure, the personal lack of discretion, getting caught flying private for a million bucks on the taxpayers' dime? >> it's about stealing the limelight from president trump. it's about everything that's happening now. there's puerto rico, there's the russia investigation, there's kushner's private e-mails. there's north kore

mr. wright, can't comment on him i wish tom price the best, but as i said, sometimes you force the president'ss one of those times. >> we heard from trump just about an hour, hour and a half ago. >> yeah. >> michael, he said, the tone made it pretty clear. >> sure. >> he was like, you know, i like tom price, but this is important to me. >> he said we're going to decide today. >> he said i'm over here trying to save hundreds of millions of dollars on these contracts and his point was the optics are so bad that it goes against everything that he's trying to sort of show his constituents. >> this is a bannon-type situation. about the president's statements because when bannon's name kept coming up toward the end, trump would say, he's a good guy, he's a good thinker, but he never said he'd keep him onboard so it's the dog that doesn't bark when you're dealing with trump. make sure you find that dog that doesn't bark because that dog's out. >> kayla >> as it turns out >> reporter: well, i think larry said it aptly there, you know, it's not only steve bannon, it was steve bannon, anthony scaramucci

mrs may said the public wanted her to get on with thejob. she's supported by some senior conservatives, but others have questioned whether she will still be leader in five years' time. 0ur correspondent ben wrightminister — his report contains flash photography. they're two prime ministers in tune, shinzo abe has rolled out a very warm welcome for theresa may on this three day trip. whether mrs may's reception will be quite so generous when she gets back to westminster is another matter, after the surprised pledge to lead britain and her party into the next general election, a vow repeated today. i said i wasn't a quitter and there's a long—term job to do. there's an importantjob to be done in the united kingdom. we stand at a really critical time in the uk. this fighting talk comes only three months after mrs may called a snap election and lost her party's majority. but with brexit negotiations under way and no obvious rival in sight, most, but not all, tories seem willing to let her carry on, for now. we've made a decision, we want theresa may to get on with thejob. we think it's an importantjob. it's critically important for the country that we get the right outcomes. i don't see any immedia
