nicky morgan, welcome to hardtalk. after you were dismissed from the cabinet by theresa may when she became prime minister you said i'm revelling in being part of the awkward squad. should the government be worried? thank you first of all for having me. i think when you're released if you like from the bounce of collective responsibility it's nice to be able to ask the questions from the backbenches that you otherwise couldn't have asked. yes, i think as you said in your introduction, brexit is a huge deal for this country in so many different ways and i think there are a lot of us who have many questions still to be answered at we'll do that and the more you put former ministers onto back benches and into select committees, we know how government works, we know which buttons to press. you are in the, a sense the people who have motive and opportunity because you're not worried about chances of promotion any more, you said you're not interested in sucking up to anybody, you're the insurgents now. it's about asking thos

said she wants to fight the next election, and there were hoots of derision from people, such as nicky morganreasury select committee, and she said this blow should have been soft and, and they've not done that. —— softened. there hasjust they've not done that. —— softened. there has just been they've not done that. —— softened. there hasjust been a poll of 18—24 —year—olds saying how few of them would ever consider voting tory. law is the only thing they think the tories are better on. another education story in the telegraph, and this actually gets more astonishing is the more you read about it. it really is only the telegraph that has been following it this week. yes, there is an investigation being ordered into what they are calling a cheating scandal in private schools. essentially, annus put—mac an extraordinary situation, the teachers were setting exams that their pupils were taking. they were setting the questions. a really easy fix. a teacher can set them for other exam boards, but not for the ones that cover their own school. they are supposed to be a great part of our education sys

even nicky morgan they think that the reasons given gone ring true.or example, the government has said that it believed up government has said that it believed up until now that about 100,000 stu d e nts up until now that about 100,000 students who have come here to study don't go back after full stop in fa ct, don't go back after full stop in fact, the latest figures suggest that the true number is only a600. if we can be sure that the students coming here do actually go back, then they are not truly emigrants at all, and infact... then they are not truly emigrants at all, and in fact... the problem again is that fewer students are gradually coming and. 27,000 fewer students have applied to study at british universities. this is the central question. yes, you don't wa nt central question. yes, you don't want students to oversee, but what about those who want educated here, because that dividend is a generational dividend. the local home, they will have been linked with this country. that is what other highly developed societies do, thatis other highl

nicky morgan, etc. and mrs may has a working majority of just morgan, etc.involves the working majority ofjust13, that involves the dup as well of course. a further combination. a word about the harry kane also on the front page of the ft. dramatic photographs of course of two men in some sort of treatable craft but a pretty precarious one. extraordinary pictures. i have read i think in the new york times a short while ago that they are saying five dead. i have not seen that confirmed elsewhere, but given the build—up, the catastrophic floods, the worse the catastrophic floods, the worse the state has seen for 20 years or so they say, if we could hope that was the end of it, five deaths is obviously too many but it‘s not quite what was predicted. fingers crossed, but they are saying this evening we will get to everyone, climb up to your roof and someone. it's climb up to your roof and someone. it‘s not terribly reassuring. it‘s a lwa ys it‘s not terribly reassuring. it‘s always extraordinary miniseries things in the states is unthinkable the nations of the w

lord heseltine one of them, nicky morgan, the former education secretary, but the majority of mps arey at all. but privately, they simply don't believe her. they don't put any more credence on the fact she would fight the next election than they did on her assurances that she wouldn't call a snap election this year. they basically think nothing much has changed and she is still in a relatively weak position but she couldn't have said anything else when asked about her future in the press. the london evening standard, edited by george osborne of course who she sacked as chancellor, has today suggested she is somehow staggering on like the living dead. thank you. there have been two explosions at a chemical works in texas, which was badly flooded by tropical storm harvey. the owner of the plant near houston, had warned that a loss of power meant volatile chemicals could overheat. the surrounding area has been evacuated. this report from simonjones contains some flashing images. two explosions already, with the warning there could be more to come. the arkema plant in crosby is flooded, i

four is equivalent to the bottom of c and that was considered a pass and when the change was made nicky morganave two, four is a pass but a standard pass and five will be a strong pass and that is the one with the government is aiming but maybe we will also look at the other one. it is strange to call four as standard pass because does that mean if you get one, two or three, is that substandard ? if you get one, two or three, is that substandard? and there are differences with wales, northern ireland and scotland has a different system. national differences? wales and northern ireland have not reformed in the same way as england and they have also made changes around coursework and grading and it is difficult to get a good national picture. we can either report on what is happening across the uk or what is happening across the uk or what is happening across the uk or what is happening across lots of age ranges but it has been difficult to get a handle on what this means for england or wales or northern ireland separately. taking this forward by a year, how will this look in 12 months? we will

we have had the likes of the former education secretary, nicky morgan, sacked by theresa may saying shent the prime minister leading the party in 2022. lord heseltine scoffed at the idea but borisjohnson of bomber —— former leadership rival, now foreign secretary led the defence of mrs may. he thought she could win the majority at the next election. i think it will depend on how brexit goes as to when theresa may leaves number ten and think that is there is it backbench mps decide her time is up there will be very little she can do about it. thank you eleanor. there have been two explosions at a chemical works in texas, which was badly flooded by tropical storm harvey. the owner of the plant near houston, had warned that a loss of power, meant volatile chemicals could overheat. the surrounding area has been evacuated. this report from simonjones contains some flashing images. there have already been two at the arkema chemical plant near houston. the site is flooded. it's lost power. the volatile chemicals can't be kept cool. the owner had warned this was inevitable, and the concern is t

by there are those, including nicky morgan, who say they are doubtful in reality she will still be theregnificant change of tone from the prime minister. thank you, joining us from tokyo. the brother of the manchester arena bomber will go on trial in libya in the next two months, in connection with the attack which left 22 people dead. hashem abedi was arrested in libya shortly after the bombing in may, carried out by his brother, salman. the prosecutor in the case said their father has been released. the first treatment to redesign a patient‘s own immune system so that it attacks cancer has been approved in the united states. the drug is made by extracting white blood cells from the patient, which are then genetically reprogrammed to seek out and kill the disease. the us food and drug administration said the decision was an historic moment and medicine is now "entering a new frontier." 20 years ago today, diana, princess of wales, died in a car crash in paris after being pursued by photographers. princes william and harry will mark the anniversary privately but members of the public are

the request comes from nicky morgan, who's been newly elected as head of one of parliament's most influentialafter birth to stay in touch, thereby reducing anxiety. the new video link helps connect mothers in the delivery suites at west hertfordshire hospitals to the neonatal unit. the trust also believes it improves bonding between mother and baby. europe's largest trainer festival is taking place in east london and it's attracting thousands of people of all ages, notjust there to buy their next pair but also to make money. some trainers quickly become collectors items and sell for hundreds of pounds. and it's one of the reasons for the festival's rapid success. it grew from there, just word of mouth, social media helped helped massively and it grew from being 200 people to 5,000 people in less than ten years. yeah, it's crazy. let's have a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tube this morning. on the roads, there's no access from kennington park road to kennington road northbound. that's for gas works but there's still access for bikes. and in camberwell, there a

nicky morgan the former education secretary said that was her expectation.llengers. most mps are not going to rock the boat, but privately they do not expect her to be here in 2022. we have been speaking to lord heseltine and we will bring you that interview very shortly. many correspondents are saying, one way that theresa may could secure her premiership is by issuing successful brexit negotiations, at least making some progress. the third round of those negotiations ends in brussels this morning, with officials saying some progress has been made on technical issues, but the uk team have expressed impatience is what they see as inflexibility up the position of the eu. adam fleming is in brussels for us. here is the problem for a lot of our view is right now, they don't know what to make of it, head nor tail, when it comes the logo she issues. they hear one thing from one thing from another —— when it comes to the negotiations. one thing that seems clear is that not much progress is being made. welcome to my world! we will hear from both sides being made. w

morgan freeman. >> steve: really? >> jimmy: yeah, listen. >> no matter how big a guy might be, nicky would take him on.es back with a bat. you beat him with a knife. he comes back with a flipper and bitch slaps your head. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: all right. i don't know about the audio book. >> steve: i don't know if that -- >> jimmy: it might be good. i don't know. next one might be too exciting for you guys. all right, but let's see. here we go. it is "mathematics for engineers" by dull. [ laughter and applause ] dull is -- let's look at the front. ready for the front cover? boo-ya! ♪ i guess you can judge a book by its cover. next up is an exercise book. >> steve: oh, i love exercise books. >> jimmy: yeah, this one is called "bathroom yoga." [ laughter ] and it's for those who lack the time or space to do yoga anywhere else by jerri lincoln. there's jerri doing some yoga on a toilet. at least i hope that's what she's doing. let's check out the back here. oh look, there's a little mascot. a used toilet paper roll saying "yoga, yoga, yoga." [ laughter ] i'm sure this will sweep the nation her
