"that's more like it, mrs may" is the verdict in the express.reports the pm will launch the change as part of a policy blitz to woo younger voters. the mail on sunday says she's gambling that the tuition fees changes will head off a tory coup. but the paper calls it another ‘huge u—turn‘. and more on the conservatives in the sunday mirror, which claims the prominent pro—life tory mp, jacob rees—mogg, has admitted to benefiting financially from a firm which produces drugs to end pregnancies. so let's begin... no escape of a party conference, all over the papers, we begin with the mail on sunday, the prime minister gambling on the tuition fee u—turn to head off the tory coup. on audacious bid for the youth vote. and it will gust the taxpayer £11 billion, others are. i'm not quite sure if the headline is right about heading off a tory coup. what she is trying to do is stealjeremy corbyn‘s crown, the youth vote have overwhelmingly gone over to labour as she wants to get this back so she has two things working, and extension of the right to buy for f

mrs may says she's listening, so that a smooth brexit transition is realised. consequences of brexit, defence and security cooperation that have dominated theresa may's talks here, but it's her unplanned, strikingly blunt declaration about her own political future that her trip to japan will be remembered. ben wright, bbc news, tokyo. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter. i'm @benmbland. plenty more news on our website. 0r ta ke plenty more news on our website. 0r take a look at our facebook page. time now for all the sports news in sport today. hello there. i am tulsen tollett. this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: kylian mbappe joins paris saint—germain on loan from monaco and then scores for the french national side as they beat the netherlands in world cup qualifying. japan become the fourth team to qualify for next year's world cup in russia after beating australia 2—0 in saitama. and roger federer needs five sets to get past mikhail youzhny at the us open. hello there and welcome to th

even they at the moment are willing to cut mrs may a lot of slack, even about money. esa may is about to deliver her long—awaiting speech on britain's departure from the eu. 0ne line which has come out in the daily telegraph is that might leave before march 2019. what whoub the thinking behind that —— what would be the thinking behind that? gosh, i haven't heard that. i can only assume if there was a view that the eu was trying to humble britain offering a deal that was so unattractive then the british government may feel it is almost duty bound just to walk away and not to carry on with a process that was clearly u na cce pta ble. that to carry on with a process that was clearly unacceptable. that would be an extraordinary outcome. i would imagine the british government would wa nt to imagine the british government would want to do everything it could to go right up to the wire and also we all know in eu negotiations it frequently does go down to the last minute of the last hour. i would think it is not impossible, not that likely, because i think the british governme

well, today really is mrs may's d—day. detail day, when her challenge, her task, is may's d—day.ertask, is to may's d—day. detail day, when her challenge, her task, is to put on the table sufficiently specific proposals, a concrete enough offer to punch through the deadlock in this negotiation, to address the key pinch points around money, eu nationals, and our final pinch points around money, eu nationals, and ourfinal brexit destination. now, on money, we know mrs may is not going to give a final figure. she will intimate that we are prepared to pay potentially up to £18 billion over a two year transitional phase, but will she be explicit enough and is that some big enough? 0n eu nationals, we are told there will be further reassurances. 0ne there will be further reassurances. one suggestion, their rights could be enshrined in an eu treaty. but the brexit secretary david davis has already mooted that idea and on our final destination, mrs may will again say we want a bespoke british steel will stop but that in many ways, is a huge range of options —— a bespoke british deal. whi

so how will mrs may's proposals be greeted by eu leaders?ooking at whether the offer will be enough to break the stalemate, over the financial settlement. this speech comes a few days before the fourth round of negotiations and over the summer, one thing has become clear, the biggest problem in those negotiations is money. even though they say you should never reveal your cards too early, there has been a lot of talk about what the prime minister would offer to break the deadlock and the key issue is this, transition. what would a transition period looked like immediately after the uk leads the eu in 2019? the prime minister has suggested a transition period under current eu rules and regulations. it would give the uk more time to set up would give the uk more time to set up among would give the uk more time to set up among other things new customs and immigration systems. she suggested it would last two years. that implies the government would make roughly the same net payments into the eu budget is now, a bit more than £9 billion per year,

osborne says he wants mrs may chopped up and put in a freezer. what is that about?ary comment, if it's true. esquire did a brief interview with george osborne, but a wider profile, speaking to people around him, about his newjob at the evening standard, and the fa ct at the evening standard, and the fact he is out to get theresa may, as we have guessed from the front pages. but this quote is quite amazing, and it's attributed to the fa ct amazing, and it's attributed to the fact that he's been telling at least one member of staff that his vendetta is so strong against her, because she sacked him last year, that he would like a chopped up and put ina that he would like a chopped up and put in a freezer. if it's true, it is the most extraordinary comment from a politician about a member of his own party. i've never seen anything like it. no question he was incredibly angry when she fired him, and the way she did so. there's a lot of resentment there. clearly, and he's made no bones about that, but a lot of people had said for a long time that the close—knit people at

laura, mrs may is trying to satisfy different audiences, but has she done enough? e created more goodwill, more appetite for concrete proposals in brussels, but she has done a couple of things that are significant. for once, she has managed at least today to get the tory party to be all in the same place on this. there have been cheery welcomes across the conservative party on this speech and that is no mean feat. she also soothed some of the nerves in the business community by signing up to a transition period of nearly two yea rs. a transition period of nearly two years. but the biggest thing, and it was striking to hear her say it out loud, is to acknowledge what has been obvious in whitehall for some time, fairly well—known in westminster, that the way that her government wants to go about taking us government wants to go about taking us out of the eu means it is all going to take some time. and after the dramatic decision, the dramatic events of the referendum, it is quite a thing for the british prime minister to admit that actually not very much might change,

how big a battle is mrs may facing over this brexit bill?ou get a sense ofjust how high the stakes are by listening to the brexit secretary david davis, who told mps this bill is crucial, essential, vital. why? because it paves the way for our departure from the eu. it is the legislative gangplank to quitting europe, because it repeals the legislation which took us into the legislation which took us into the then european common market, way backin the then european common market, way back in the 1970s. for that reason it isa back in the 1970s. for that reason it is a big green brute of a bill. more than 60 pages, which means there is ample opportunity for critical mps to tackle numerous amendments for staying in the single market, the customs union, demanding mps have more say over the shape of legislation. it provides many possibilities to delay, to dent or even derail brexit. and that means mrs may has to tread an extraordinarily precarious path, because she has a tiny majority. i think the truth is we are at the start of possibly months o

one of its headlines claims borisjohnson believes mrs may will be gone in a year.kinder front page from the sunday telegraph, which says the pm is set to announce a tuition fees revolution to help students. "that's more like it, mrs may," is the verdict in the sunday express — it reports the pm will launch the change as part of a "policy blitz" to woo younger voters. the mail on sunday says she's gambling that the tuition fees changes will head off a tory coup but the paper calls it another "huge u—turn." and more on the conservatives in the sunday mirror, which claims the prominent pro—life tory mp, jacob rees—mogg, has admitted to benefiting financially from a firm which produces drugs to end pregnancies. the conservative party conference is getting under way tomorrow. the mail on sunday is where we begin. the prime minister gambles on tuition fees to head off tory coup. who is that really aimed at comedy tuition fees? horses bolting and stable doors. this is a test —— desperate attempt by the tories, who have obviously cottoned on to the fact thatjeremy corbyn g

on eu nationals, overnight downing street saying mrs may will have more to say. to be around 18 billion. on the final destination, all the signs are mrs may will simply reiterate the desire for a bespoke agreement. all that is a little bit vague and the question is whether there is enough nitty—gritty detail, specific commitments, for the eu to be able to say, ok, you've made enough progress. now we can move to the second stage of negotiations. progress. now we can move to the second stage of negotiationsm progress. now we can move to the second stage of negotiations. it is that the sake that michel barnier, is pretty sniffy about a bespoke deal. i think he is. the european point of view is that they have no desire to tie themselves up for years in negotiating a complicated bespoke arrangement for the uk. you could have a deal like norway or switzerland have or are like canada does. a lot of this goes back to the issue at the heart of the european energy which is sometimes not properly understood in britain which is when theresa may says, as she may well do today

mrs may was back on the theme, she had to guard every penny. that we balance out protecting jobs in the public sector, being fair to public sector workers and being fair to taxpayers who pay for it, many of whom who are public sector workers. there is a need for greater flexibility as we look at these issues of public sector pay in the future. we will be working on this in the lead up to the budget. so a clear hint public sector workers would get more, but not much and not nearly enough for labour's leader. the speaker: jeremy corbyn. does the prime minister understand that inflation is 2.9%. anything less means that dedicated public servants are worse off again and they've been made worse off every year for the past seven years. as it is, extra police and prison pay will have to come out of savings in police and prison spending. the news left few people happy, it could even costjobs. this is not funded by the government and it's got to be found bfrom existing resources and the only way we can do that is reducing the number of police officers w

is what mrs may fears from borisjohnson to backbenches.rom boris johnson to let's finish i'iow from boris johnson to let's finish now with the guardian. from boris johnson to let's finish now with the guardianlj from boris johnson to let's finish now with the guardian. i know you would like to carry on but there are other stories that we need to get a look in. johnson and distortion round after brexit claims. he is now saying that he is misquoting. the bbc reality check, once again juggfing bbc reality check, once again juggling this number and they say on twitter, we have said before, the uk did notand twitter, we have said before, the uk did not and still does not send £350 million a week to the eu. that this figure is magical. it is magical. because it appeared on the side of a bus, it must be true. some of the other newspapers have pointed out that that does not include the re bate that that does not include the rebate that mrs thatcher negotiated for us, also all the subsidies which the government has said it will continue to pay, part

no specific figure was mentioned, but mrs may did say that britain would pay its way. need to pay more or receive less over the remainder of the current budget plan as a result of her decision to leave. the uk will honour commitments we have made and as we move forward, we will also wa nt to and as we move forward, we will also want to continue working together in ways that promote the long—term economic development of our continent. as expected, theresa may said that the transitional period post—brexit should last for two years. how long the period is should be determined by how long it will take to prepare and implement the new processes and new systems that will underpin that future partnership. for example, it will take time to put in place the new immigration system required to retake control of the uk‘s borders. during the implementation period, people can continue to come and work in the uk. but there will be a registration scheme. this points to an implementation period of around two yea rs. implementation period of around two years. she said there would be obv

mrs may hit back, accusing mr corbyn of breaking promises.able gentleman promised workers that he would protect their rights and on monday he let them down. he promised students that he would deal with their debt and he has let them down. he promised the british people that he would support trident and he has let them down. he promised voters that he would deliver on brexit and he has let them down. what people know is that it is only the conservatives who deliver a better britain. the snp leader at westminster used his turn to accuse the government of economic incompetence. uk's record on earnings has been significantly worse than almost any other developed country. in fact, real wages in the uk have fallen by 2.6% since 2007. wages are not growing, the cost of living is rising, household budgets are stretched. the government can find the money for quantitative easing, 435 billion since 2009, but they can't find the money for fiscal measures to grow the economy. this is a government that does not understand how to use economic levers and it

but in terms of may's side of it, mrs. mayas talked about some form of national industrial policy >> she has talked about the need for government to take action in these areas. i don't think we heard much, so we need to hear more it's one area of her domestic vision that's relatively unfulfilled. >> willem, excellent thank you as ever. henry, will you stay for the next chat. >>> president trump says spain should stay together, this asthma reaa as madrid has called for an independence referendum for catalonia. trump said in a speech that he would like to see one spain. >> we are dealing with a great, great country. it should be reunited. i have been watching it unfold it is actually been unfolding for centuries and i think that nobody knows if they are going to have a vote i think the president would say they're not going to have a vote the people would be very much opposed to that. >> antonio barroso joins us on the line where does this story go next? does the defend go ahead if it does, the legality has been called into quest

mrs may went to the country in june. she would've gone with a sensible. side of our ideas. and i'm really decent manifesto when she should've been returned with a decent majority i think the majority of the hundred. and house republicans always. by the sky but it could've been sixty. and i think the whole idea of where we stand in terms of negotiation proving completely different. i mean all we've seen is that mrs yule kobani a and verhofstadt small lecture should cut sinking we got your term skies. a we're gonna fry you up and we're going to eat it for breakfast. and that isn't a good scene. and they may feel incredibly strong they may feel that they're going to give nothing but. when the end of the but the end of the day i hope. that mrs may comes out with something relatively consumer tree or something that the european union can get his chief to in terms of negotiation. whether what they gonna pay out from what is going to be twenty billion thirty billion. talk about the rest of it later when you start talking about trade shows the kind of grown up dialogue we won't. th

position, do we have clarity after mrs may spoke yesterday?tion, do we have clarity after mrs may spoke yesterday? i think we have a bit more of a sense of the direction, in terms of the transitional deal that she spoke about. back in the summer, there was about. back in the summer, there was a debate within cabinet about weather there should be a transitional deal, and this is theresa may saying we won't two yea rs, theresa may saying we won't two years, and that is something that has caused concern among backbenchers. —— we want two years. some of them are not happy with the idea that we will not leave com pletely idea that we will not leave completely on march 2019, that we will still be subject to eu law in some sense, so will still be subject to eu law in some sense, so they want clarity on whether that will be the case. theresa may talked about freedom of movement potentially continuing, thatis movement potentially continuing, that is something that for many is a red line. within the cabinet itself, what she achieved through the speech y

mrs may has suggested there are more rules and regulations that we have to take during the transitionalr johnson is claiming victory for insisting that the transitional period is restricted to two years. tea m period is restricted to two years. team boris are not denying that he does not want britain to take any more rules and regulations from brussels. they are not denying as well but he insisted on a two—year time frame. however, theresa may did not commit to a two—year time frame. when you look at her words she said it should be roughly two years but she said it will take as long as is necessary. that is seen by some on the former remain wing of the party that if things get tricky it could ta ke that if things get tricky it could take longer than two years. the two—year idea has been floated but mrs may has not altered it down. it gives a sense of the huge argument crashing around the cabinet with the whole issue of brexit and how britain leads the eu. norman, many thanks, we will be back with you. diane abbott, the shadow home secretary is expected to speak at the labour party confe

perhaps, for people but particularly, perhaps, foer people but particularly, perhaps, for mr colburn mrs may it is equally important to show that she is listening to public concern about squeezed living standards, so no surprise that two of them going at it hammer and tongs over public sector pay. at the weekend, mr speaker, we were told that the public sector pay cap had been dropped. on monday the prime minister's spokesperson said it would continue as planned, yesterday they said the pay cap was over but later found out, we found out, that police and prison officers still face a real terms pay cut so that the prime minister tell us what the position is at midday today? we also recognise, as i've said to him before, that we need to ensure that we before, that we need to ensure that we balance our protecting jobs in the public sector, being fair to public sector workers and being fair to taxpayers who pay for it, many of whom are public sector workers. there is a need for greater flexibility as we look at these issues are public sector pay in the future. we will be working on this in the le

laura, reaction to mrs may's speech is coming in, do you think she has done enough to inject new energygotiations and get this deal done? well, since theresa may moved into ten downing street she has been continually criticised for only showing a tiny fraction of her hand ata showing a tiny fraction of her hand at a time. today, sure, she only provided some small clues about the big future relationship that will define the eu and the uk's relationship for decades and decades to come, but she did give some details. she did give a little bit towards those talks. i think she may have managed to create a bit more goodwill around the table when the official negotiators sit down next week. i think there will be at least some acknowledgment she has gone a little bit further than she had done so little bit further than she had done so far in terms what the european union really wants to hear from so far in terms what the european union really wants to hearfrom her. you know, ithink union really wants to hearfrom her. you know, i think the more profound thing about what has happened here in flor

hammond, appealed to tory mps not to vote against mrs may on the legislation.ogress in our discussions with the european union. we are mapping out a course for britain‘s future. i am confident that we will be able to achieve the kind of strategic partnership that we want with the european union as an independent country post brexit in 2019. what makes mrs may‘s position precarious is because labour signalled they are going to vote against this eu withdrawal bill u nless against this eu withdrawal bill unless david davis comes up with a whole raft of concessions by the time they start debating it which seems extremely unlikely, but the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell insisted they will not give the government a blank cheque when it comes to brexit. we respect the referendum and we‘re going to make sure that the decision that was made in that referendum is implemented, but we can‘t allow the government a free hand on these things. keir starmer said they can‘t have a blank cheque. he has been waiting to hear from david davis through the summer about the legislatio

we have heard what mrs may said and we quite like the tone now but we need more detail. thank you. neck on his way to a mosque in greater manchester in a suspected hate crime. dr nasser kurdy was attacked outside the altrincham and hale muslim association yesterday evening. he was taken to hospital and has since been discharged. police are questioning two men over the attack, as judith moritz reports. i don't know. he had something in his hand. moments after he was stabbed, this is nasser kurdy inside the mosque where he had gone for prayers. mr kurdy was on his way into the building when he became aware of another man across the road. moments later, he was attacked. so i had to run into the hall and i felt threatened. today, he is recovering at home, and is very thankful to be alive. i remember a heavy blow to the back of my neck. and that was after i've entered the premises. it was a total shock. i genuinely felt he was going to run after me into the mosque and just carry on what he started. it felt that way. the anger that was coming across was quite clear to me. greater manches

but it does illustrate a problem for mrs may going into the brexit talks that trade is incredibly complexf the things on which she was depending, look at her visit to see president trump earlier in the year, she was depending on a deal with america and it is certainly true that trump is very pro—britain and wa nts that trump is very pro—britain and wants there to be a deal. this just illustrates that sometimes domestic interests might get in the way. trade war with the united states is not exactly part of the probe brexit plan, is it? sir michael fallon the defence secretary pretty much said if boeing go ahead with this and bombardier suffer and jobs suffer in northern ireland, then the ministry of defence could not go ahead with boeing. would that antagonise the trump administration, that sort of talk? i think it would. trump likes people who play tough, he is a deal maker. it is not the kind of relationship that theresa may was promising when she was holding donald trump's and outside the white house rather prematurely. let's go onto the daily mail. ryanair cancelled yet more flights, a

my message to mrs may on the evil of her party conferences she needs to stop flip—flopping when it comesector pay. it is not only insulting to our public sector workers, it is insulting to oui’ sector workers, it is insulting to our public as well. it is insulting because in since the general election we have had is one statement after another from mrs may ‘s office and different government ministers are saying different things. what we know is that if you look at the letter liz last —— liz truss has sent, there is something missing in, where is the money going to come from? there is central funding. that means it'll be coming from existing budgets and that is more cuts to front line services. from existing budgets and that is more cuts to front line servicesm it the case though that this is an opening move by the government that could signal a softening in what up until now has been a fairly stern sta nce until now has been a fairly stern stance on pay? we don't agree that in the gmb. 0nly stance on pay? we don't agree that in the gmb. only 45% of the total public sector workforce is co

is it creating problems for mrs may at home? and finally, together at last.re the words that accompany a picture of prince harry and his actress girlfriend meghan markle as the pair stepped out together for their first official public engagement at the invictus games in toronto. so let's begin. with me is jane foley, senior fx strategist, rabo bank. good to see you. good morning. north korea accusing the united states of warmongering after this tweet by donald trump. it read time we think the tensions of deep, they simply pick back up. —— every time we think the tensions dip. yes, this was that speech at the united nations, there we re speech at the united nations, there were other dignitaries who felt that trump's words were inappropriate given the venue, and north korea has certainly taken that time. we did have a bit of a response in the financial markets yesterday with these headlines. in the old days, before donald trump, the language was always about the moral high ground being taken by america. at the moment you could pretty much interchange the remark

mrs may, it's an important week for brexit, starting here, ending in florence.fter seeing your foreign secretary accused by senior colleagues of back—seat driving, can you say that you are truly in command of your cabinet and brexit policy? and will you tolerate more back—seat driving in future? look, the uk government is driven from the front and we all have the same destination in our sights, that is getting a good deal for brexit with the european union. that's a good trade deal, but also a good ongoing relationship in relation to other matters like security. i've spoken in the past of the deep and special partnership that we want to build with the european union. so he wasn't in charge, theresa may was. borisjohnson‘s at the un in new york, waiting for theresa may, making no excuses for writing his own brexit script, just mixing with the powerful and wondering why all the fuss. as for back—seat driving, honestly, there's one driver in this car, to use amber's metaphor, which is often used, quite rightly, it's theresa. people want to know where we're going. i

support is essential to the conservatives at westminster, said they'd received an assurance that mrs maycure localjobs. our business editor simonjack has the latest. thousands of jobs thousands ofjobs at northern ireland's biggest manufacturing employer could go, if the us rival, boeing, succeeds in getting a tariff of 220% put on plays produced by bombardier sold in the us. people are concerned. there is worry, from everybody, that is what you would expect. it is all up in the air. it is what it is. we can't do nothing about it. disappointing, yes. i think they are being bullies. no doubt about it. if the planes achieve the expected demand... the aerospace industry has a long history in belfast, having been here since 19118. the factory remains a huge part of northern ireland's economy. last year, it paid £158 million in wages. it accounts for over 8% of all of northern ireland's exports, and its sources parts and exports, and its sources parts and exports from 800 companies in the uk and ireland. the future of this plant is designed around the success of the plane onto which these live

mrs may, i suspect as things stand as pretty happy to have this very clear distinction between herselfemy corbyn and certainly that will go down well with many in the media, the clear distinction for everybody to see. my concern about all this, you said a lot of people supporting uber, that is entirely correct, but a lot of people support black cabs as well. we do you stand? my view is that if it is properly regulated, fine. if it is properly regulated, fine. if it damages the traditional black cap, and a lot of black cab drivers feel very strongly about this, then i have a problem. we are going to talk about three different men for the rest of this review. good! boris johnson, ben stokes and hugh hefner. iam not johnson, ben stokes and hugh hefner. i am not saying there are any connections! that is the only connection, we're talking about them. the story that borisjohnson has topped a poll of the tory faithful, is that a surprise? he will be very happy, he has moved ahead of his rivals and has 23% this latest poll. ruth davidson is slightly behind that 99 jacob rees mogg at 17. he wil

with the tory party conference approaching, the ft says mrs may is trying to appeal to her party basee times suggests conservative party members would put borisjohnson in the lead to succeed theresa may as prime minister, while its main story claims that wood burning is set to be banned in some urban areas to reduce air pollution. an investigation by the guardian claims that the uk's largest chicken supplier has been duping consumers by tampering with use—by dates. the sun leads with further allegations relating to england cricket vice—captain ben stokes who was allegedly involved in a fight in bristol early on monday morning. the mirror says the home office are to provide extra funding for a further 6 month search for madeline mccann. and finally the metro leads with a charity campaign to raise awareness of sexual harassment in pubs and clubs. so let's begin. let's start off, a couple of stories suggesting theresa may might be facing a revolt on the backbenches that she could do without what they are rather small majority. and these stories, first of all, the i talking about a revolt

mrs may said the uk was well placed to get a better deal.importance for many businesses and jobs across the continent. and the eu is our largest trading partner. so it is in all our interests to find a creative solution. and the eu has shown in the past that creative arrangements can be agreed in other areas. for example, it's developed a diverse array of arrangements with neighbouring countries outside the eu, both in economic relations and injustice and eu, both in economic relations and in justice and home affairs. further more, we share the same set of fundamental beliefs. a belief in free trade, rigorous and fair competition, strong consumer rights, and that trying to beat other country's industries by unfairly subsidising one's own is a serious mistake. so there is no need to impose tariffs where we have none know and i don't think anyone sensible is contemplating this. an excerpt of the prime minister's speech in florence. let's go back there now where the prime minister's been setting out that vision of a future relationship with the

on thursday, japanese prime minister shinzo abe pressed mrs may for reassurances about the future.fact that even after the brexit decision, japanese companies continued to make investment into the uk, that shows the profound trust they have in british economy. with this in mind, i have asked prime minister may for her continued consideration in ensuring transparency and predictability to minimise the impact on business activity involving japanese companies. in the last few hours, the bbc has spoken to britain's international trade secretary, liam fox, who's also injapan. he echoed prime minister abe's concerns about the need for progress on the post—brexit trade deal. it's very clear that businesses not just in europe but investors in places like here injapan are getting impatient and want to see that final shape of what that arrangement is going to be. they want to know that there will continue to be an open and liberal trading environment in europe, and there's a worry that if there's not the sort of agreement that britain wants you could end up with impediments to trade and inve

the telegraph carries a large picture of mrs may delivering her much anticipated speech this afternoont same line is the lead on the daily express, which warns the prime minister will be accused of appeasing brussels. the daily mail claims theresa may is walking a tightrope in attempting to soothe tensions on both sides of her party. and here is the guardian. it is called a pause for brexit during which time the uk would accept eu rules and continue paying into the eu budget. we begin with brexit and we will try to move onto uber at the end for maybe some light relief. not really! the daily mail, theresa walking the tightrope. it's notjust about keeping her party happy, it is about keeping her party happy, it is about getting brussels onside, isn't it? there were a lot of audiences that theresa may was trying to appeal to. i think you see that reflected in the front pages. newspapers who would ostensibly be on the same side of the argument, having different takes on this. the daily mail is surely right to say that she is walking a tightrope and trying to bring together her cabinet but

minister is being pressured to sack a minister and an aide following their support for a letter urging mrs mayto stick to plans for a hard brexit. the daily mail urgues brussels not to treat the uk with ‘contempt‘ saying the eu's lead negotiator michel barnier has unleashed a string of personal attacks on the brexit secretary david davis. the mirror says the royal navy was racing to the caribbean to help save stranded brits, including two sisters who it says are missing in barbuda. the express reveals the seven steps we all need to take to keep our brains active. the sun's splashes the plea for the britons trapped in what it calls the nuclear hurricane. we will begin with the coverage of irma and that picture, simple headline, devastated, it looks like matchsticks and these are buildings that had just been demolished. whole island is said to be barely inhabitable. although the death toll is steadily rising, the real devastation is for those people who have had islands flattened and livelihoods ruined and they have been cast out of their home. this is lead pairup been cast out of their home. th

must askew, while we have got you, i will be going to florence on thursday, all ears to hear what mrs may say on friday... 0h, may, the british brand minister, will say on friday... oh, you are? good! what is it that you want to hear from good! what is it that you want to hearfrom her and good! what is it that you want to hear from her and are you agreeing with articles in the british press today that there is not a coherent plan? i think i know the today that there is not a coherent plan? i thinki know the united kingdom quite well and there are so many talented people in government and in society. britain will figure this out in some form or other, i don't worry too much about that. but to make things work, to make sure we canjointly find to make things work, to make sure we can jointly find a solution for brexit that does as little harm is possible to all sides, it is about time we knew what britain wanted... we know now what britain doesn't want, that has been made abundantly clear, but it would be helpful if it would be a bit clearer what britain does want in the longer and in terms

susana, how was mrs may's speech received by her own party and her opponents?think what she did achieve is she managed to get the cabinet, which has been pretty split on this issue, singing from the same hymn sheet. so for example, boris johnson, whojust a sheet. so for example, boris johnson, who just a few days ago wrote that britain should not contribute financially to the eu budget in order to remain a part of the single market, well, you know, yesterday he was basically saying this was a good speech. we also add philip hammond, one of the more, softer brexit approach ministers in the cabinet, saying that this was an excellent speech. within the cabinet, we have got them basically agreeing with one another at this stage. in terms of the party more widely, a more difficult picture, it went down well with the remainers, people like anna soubry, but then you have got pro—brexit mps who are really unhappy that for another two yea rs really unhappy that for another two years britain would be accepting free movement of people and pay money to the eu. many thanks.

what did you like about what mrs may had to say today?necessary. the question now becomes, how does this translate to further progress semiconductor that things the business wants to talk about, citizens rights, trade arrangements, the negotiation row next week. she said the transition period would be important for businesses, but what about the length of it? is two years enough? she did talk about it being around two years. there is little room for that being something subject to negotiation for the eu. at the end of the last ago heating round, the chief eu negotiator, maybe in a bit of gamesmanship, said all we are doing is waiting for the uk to ask for a transition, so we hope that is on the agenda. 0ne for a transition, so we hope that is on the agenda. one of the things most important was this commitment to business only having to go to one set of changes. what sort of model would be preferable, in your mind, given that she has ruled out the canadian idea? she said we wanted something that is between the canadian style and the norway

the daily mail says mrs may is walking a tightrope — trying to placate the two wings of her warring partye minister believes her country's future can be bright outside the eu. the independent calls it a brexit reality check — pointing out that the uk will have to accept free movement of people until at least 2021, and the country will have no say in how eu regulations are decided. and the daily mirror goes its own way — reporting on the court appearance of ahmed hassan — the teenager accused of carrying out the parsons green tube bombing. it's alleged he bought the components to make the bomb online. now on bbc news — it's time for our world. this week we take a look at the ongoing humanitarian crisis in yemen. and i should warn you this programme contains images that some viewers may find upsetting. yemen. a world's worst humanitarian disaster. —— the world's. as the richest countries in the arab world relentlessly battled the region's poorest, the west is accused of complicity. if something is not done soon, literally hundreds of thousands of children will die. the hunger, death and dis

the express leads with the headline "that's more like it mrs may," focusing on the prime minister's pledge

earlier this month both mrs may and canada's justin trudeau discussed the dispute and made clear theira ruling against bombardier. i have already raised the issue with president trump in the telephone call i had with him last week, but i will raise it with him, the issue of bombarding eight, with him when i meet with him again later this week and i'll be impressing on him the significance of too the united kingdom and obviously to jobs significance of too the united kingdom and obviously tojobs in northern ireland. on the issue of boeing, it's been very clear canada is embarking upon a brick kiln and processed to strengthen our military and we have obviously been looking at the super hornet aircraft from boeing asa at the super hornet aircraft from boeing as a potential significant procurement of our new fighterjets. but we won't do business with a company busy trying to sue us and put our airspace workers out of business. professor george yip from the business school at imperial college university here in londonjoins me. welcome to world business report, good to see you. the invocatio

things, they have a survey saying seven out of ten voters and four out of ten tories disagreed with mrs may'sfight 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 up as of money, and if barnier says this is the money we want from you, then we are in a negotiation. it is david davis's duty to beat him down on whatever it is but at least we have a starting point. it is the fact we have no figure which means we are having talks about talks six months after article 50 was triggered. let's go back in time with the mail on sunday, because they have a story which takes us back to the snap general election and that theresa may was warned it was a catastrophic mistake. yes, so this is a secret paper which has been leaked to the mail on sunday, and it is a memo from sir lynton crosby, the australian election guru who helped david cameron wind two elections and borisjohnson when two terms as mayor of london. he w

there have been reports circulating in westminster today that mrjohnson could quit by the weekend if mrs mayn friday, in particular if there is too at money offered all too long a transition period, or is theresa may were to signal we might have some feature arrangement similarto have some feature arrangement similar to perhaps switzerland or norway. this lunchtime in new york, mrjohnson was ambushed pretty much by the press pack as he was returning from a jog round the big apple and he was pretty much in denial mode. he denied any question that he was going to resign, he also with denied other reports that he thought mrs may had no chance of getting any decent deal out of the eu and to prepare for a no deal outcome. he denied disunity among ministers, he said they were like birds ina ministers, he said they were like birds in a nest, have a listen to what mrjohnson said. excuse his attire, he just returned from a jog. no, no, of course not. with our working and the key thing is to make sure to take the changes that brexit provides. have you spoken to the prime minister? has spoken often to

mr. perry: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. perry: 16 years ago, an attack on the united states revealed intense gaps in our information sharing. as a result the department of homeland security was established to consolidate 22 existing federal agencies and reshape the domestic intelligence and counterterrorism structure in the united states. over the years, d.h.s. has mature and refined its intelligence enterprise for what we know as d.h.s.i.e. even now the department has strug told fully unify the various offices within the component agencies. this has limited the value d.h.s. provides to the intelligence community and its state and local partners. disparate guidance for the intelligence components within d.h.s. undermines the department's about to fully utilize important data and conduct analysis. d.h.s. needs to follow the model of many other members of the intelligence community and produce an intelligence doctrine that clearly articulates roles and priorities across

it comes as mrjohnson and mrs may both attend the un general assembly meeting. our assistant political editor norman smith, who has more on this. could he go? boris johnson and his aides have this afternoon and then desperately trying to douse down rumours and reports that up and swirling around westminster, suggesting that if mrs mayne gives too much ground in her crucial florence speech at the and at the weekend, dorisjohnson florence speech at the and at the weekend, doris johnson could florence speech at the and at the weekend, dorisjohnson could walk. not true, save those close to mr johnson, but the foreign secretary has already put down a marker and drawn a line in the sand it seems, by suggesting that he won't countenance any huge financial contribution during the transitional period. he is wary of a long time frame for transition. he is also thought to be uneasy at maybe the end deal could be similar to an arrangement that switzerland or norway have. and when he was tackled by reporters in new york through just come back from a jog, mr johnson was invol

mrs may said it was important that there was no physical border between ireland and northern ireland.ut how they see future relationships. one thing that i think was very important that was included in the speech was the fact that no physical infrastructure is on the border. that's more than saying you don't want a boarder in the past, saying there'll be no physical infrastructure is a strong statement, in my view. i pointed out the way that i believe you can best achieve that is for the united kingdom, including northern ireland, to stay in some form of customs union and some form of single market with the european union and certainly it's the view of the prime minister that we can best start exploring these things if we are allowed to continue a move into phase two of the talks. that is going to be a decision that we'll make collectively as 27 european member states that remaining, and i will have my first hans to talk with my european colleague prime ministers on thursday. the other main topic up for discussion between the prime minister and the northern ireland prime minister was

mrs may has called it "the single most important step we can take to prevent a cliff—edge for peoplees". we have said in terms the era of the payments to the eu is coming to an end, we will still be paying something, i suspect. tens of thousands have to leave their homes in germany as frankfurt undergoes its biggest evacuation since the second world war. a 1.4 tonne british bomb found on a building site on wednesday will be made safe in a controlled explosion today. now on bbc news... we take a look at how a baby boom is affecting africa in a special programme — africa's population explosion. the population of africa is set to double by the year 2050. to 2.5 billion people. the young are moving from the countryside to the towns. unfortunately for us, in the last two, three years it's been a deluge. but many end up in slums and cities are struggling to cope. an industrial revolution could transform african countries and lift millions out of poverty. every year it grows, 20 millionjobs per year over the coming decades. but idle youth could mean millions more migrants and drive many int

say in the final shape of brexit, so these are very, very turbulent, difficult, fraught times for mrs maywhat about labour's changing stance on brexit and voting on the repeal bill? what impact could that potentially have? well, we know labour are pretty much saying they are going to vote against the withdrawal bill as it's now when it has its second reading on monday, but labour, two, it's a delicate balancing act. there are those within the labour party who privately are deeply sceptical, hostile to the whole idea of brexit, and would like to slow it down and some would like to try and ensure we remained in some sort of permanent transition phase and never actually leave. against that, there are those around jeremy corbyn who fear that would be profoundly damaging to labour support, particularly amongst its core traditional voters, so there was a sort of balancing act, attention in labour ranks between their remain supporters and its core traditional labour backers. thank you, norman. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, will set out her government's legislative programme this af

but leave aside all of the beauty of the occasion, what mrs may has got to deliver is detail, nitty—grittye so—called transitional phase, the period after which we leave in 2019, and before we finally uncouple ourselves. mrs may will say she wants a two—year period to ensure a smooth transition out of the eu. secondly, there is going to be more, we‘re told, on the rights of eu nationals. they have not briefed anything about that but that‘s another critical area. lastly, m rs that‘s another critical area. lastly, mrs may is going to give a nod and a wink on the money side, about how much cash we‘re prepared pay during that transitional face. although she would give a figure, we can work it out because she will say we are going to keep meeting our budgetary responsibilities during that period which means we will be paying around roughly £18 billion over those two years. the question is, will that be enough? is there enough there for eu leaders to say, 0k, fine, we‘re going to move onto the second stage of the negotiations. the trouble in trying to work that out is, this is a negotiation, its
