[ applause ] [ applause ] [ applause ] [ applause ] [ applause ] thank you very much, indeed. thank you. i'm now going to take some questions from the media, so please listen quietly and carefully to the media questions. they're here to do the important job of holding us to account. can i take -- if i can see them, brian taylor? >> thanks very much, brian taylor. your entire speech is predicated upon the return of a majority conservative government. you've called that highly likely. you've discounted labor's prospects. but in those circumstances, wouldn't power reside in numbers 10 and 11 downing street? what evidence is there even from the last couple of years, that even a vast snp presence at westminster by simple arithmetic you can't form the majority. even that presence can constrain the conservatives. >> we've seen over the past two years that it has been the snp, not labor, angus robertson, not jeremy corbyn that has been th

you look at scotland, we've seen city deals in scotland.he bristol city deal. we've seen the local growth deal. the government recognises the importance of investing in all parts of the country. that's what i want to ensure, a cannes tray that works for eve ryo ne ensure, a cannes tray that works for everyone and ensuring we see growth and prosperity across the whole country. nicola sturgeon's due to make a statement this afternoon. we don't know exactly, what but suggestions she way speak about indyref two and it's been dubbed. what are your thoughts on scotland's holding another referendum ? what are your thoughts on scotland's holding another referendum? what nicola sturgeon should be saying is that she's going to completely take off the table indyref2. i think that was the clear message from the general election. i think now is the time for the united kingdom to be pulling together not being driven apart. finally prime minister, coming up this morning you discussed an investigation into the flammable, well, flammable materials being use

but if we win this election, the people of scotland will have trusted the snp to stand up to scotlande] and that is exactly what we will do. it gives me great hard on this topic and i think we've seen particularly in the last two weeks we face not so much the iron lady. the more we can force them into, the better. [applause] >> first minister james matthews from sky news. you talk about addressing an independent referendum at the end of the budget process. this began to the brexit process post spring 2019 or in circumstances later than that. and also come me say that for the tories to block the referendum would be democratically unsustainable given that they beg to differ, what would you do? >> firstly, we should let the people have their say. the great opportunity has given it this stipulation and we have the opportunity to have the first part of your question and i am very clear that scotland'sa choice -- scotland must have a choice. , that brexit could do if it goes wrong. we cannot accept the damaging the economy and public services. that is why a choice not now, but at the right

for scotland.h scotland and northern ireland, as you know the voted overwhelmingly to remain. we are partners, equal partners of the union, not regions. do you support nicola sturgeon being at the top table for brexit negotiations? let's come back to the scottish issues particularly in a second and first deal with ashley's point, which is that she thinks you are not listening to the will of the people. what part of no don't you understand ? fundamentally, my view, i'm a democrat. but you are not because you say there was a vote and you want to have another one. we had a general election two years ago and we appear to be having another one... applause i absolutely accept the result of the referendum and the people i blame for the situation we have got ourselves in our david cameron and george osborne who took a chance on our country's future and our children will pay for it and they were on the remain side so i blame them if it's anyone. we are a country learned to deal with a new future and we must

in government in scotland shows they are not stronger for scotland.sions were made and different starting points and end points. to give the s&p credit they gave a white paper that laid out the deal and it was rejected and once you have rejected the deal there is nowhere else to go. with europe, we never saw anything except a bus with figures on it. people said no. we have no idea what the deal is. once we get the deal, which is where we were with the snp, then the british people have the right to say we are better off where we are. i believe we are better off where we are and as we see how bad the deal is going to be. there will be no good deal. i said the lib dems, labour and conservative have one seat. are you strong enough going on the anti—brexit policy? strong enough going on the anti-brexit policy? that is not the only thing we have. we have strong policies specifically for scotland, wanting to invest in health care, education, which the snp have forgotten about. the only thing they have given is legislation on a referendum that took ali days.

scotland stay fourth.ay ina with the world cup finals under way in a little over 12 months, some england fans were already planning their trip to russia. the scottish ones are hoping their forward—thinking isn't always did. with some rivalries, though, all that context can take a back seat. scotla nd that context can take a back seat. scotland versus england is normally one to stir the emotions. sadly, the first half did little to do that. in this battle of britain between red and blue, the majority of the chances fell to the team in red, gaining a lead was more of a headache. so gareth southgate santon alex oxlade—chamberlain and the game swung deservedly in england's favour. scotland had barely threatened when leigh griffiths lined upa threatened when leigh griffiths lined up a late free kick. emotions we re lined up a late free kick. emotions were stirring now, all right. no second invitation needed, which is exactly what england gave him with a minute remaining, a scarcely believable result on the card

but the way the game panned out in the end, scotland we re game panned out in the end, scotland weren stoppage time to get anything. so we have come away fairly happy with it. it puts us in a good position to qualify for the world cup. the unseeded 20 year—old latvian jelena ostapenko has beaten romania's simona halep in the french open final. ostapenko, who had never even won a tour title before today, lost the first set, but produced a remarkable comeback to win in three sets. she is the first unseeded woman to win at roland garros since 1933. i was losing and then in my mind i was like, ok, i'm just going to enjoy the match and trite to the last point. i still cannot believe it because it was my dream and now it because it was my dream and now it came true. i think i will only understand that in maybe a couple of days or a couple of weeks. england again underlined their status as tournament favourites as they knocked australia out of the icc champions trophy in the final match in group a. england — who had already qualified for the semi finals — were set a target of 278 for victor

we'll see that anyway through the day across western scotland.as, notjust the coast but inland. it's not going to be a particularly cold night either. as we move into saturday, we've got that high—pressure starting to build in again, pushing those weather fronts northwards. they're still going to hang on in the far north—west of scotland through saturday morning but it's essentially a fine day. more sunshine, i think, compared with the day ahead. although for northern ireland, still some cloud around and scotland, again, the best will be the east for scotland and there we could see temperatures getting into the low 20s. a little warmer for northern ireland again, and certainly so across england and wales as we start to build up the warmth. sunday again we see the warmth building even further. we start to pick up more of a southerly in the south, so hopefully losing the misty low cloud but, again, the north—west of scotland is looking as if it could be persistently cloudy with some rain at times. if you are finding the prospect of temperatures app

people talking about ruth davidson coming down from scotland. an mp and i think she is incredible but she is a remainer, so if the eurosceptics but she is a remainer, so if the eurosce ptics want but she is a remainer, so if the eurosceptics want a eurosceptics that isn't her. who are we left with, borisjohnson. that is a prospect that is the only thing stopping those tory leaders from ending her prime ministerial career. they are waiting to have somebody viable to replace her and they don't. between a rock and a hard place because the observer is saying that business would like her to rethink a hard brexit. what is she going to do. the observer is the cheerleader of the soft brexit. talking about no deal, no brexit immediately. if things go the way that angela merkel fears in europe over the next year or so, that may come to pass. mrs merkel is preoccupied with things like migration, the viability of the eurozone and italy above brexit. and her own election as well. that is less of a worry than it was. working in the continental press, it is am

should be decided in scotland.ast renfrewshire. joining me now is mark from the polling organisation, thank you for joining us in the ring. the snp won 56 of the 59 seats last time around. what do you think from what you hear in the polls the outcome could be this time in terms of losses for the snp? undoubtedly, the snp will win the election in scotland. but with a reduced majority, i expect. both in terms of the vote share, where they got 50%, in 2015, which is unprecedented. they are down around the sort of early to mid 405, so some fall off there. the main issues that have been the tories. what we don't know yet, but what the exit poll will tell us a bit on thursday night, which we will find out on friday morning, is how that affects the seat and attribution. 5-12 seats for the tories? somewhere around tho5e, there are 5eat5 for the tories? somewhere around tho5e, there are seats in the borders where the snp majority is paperthin, borders where the snp majority is paper thin, actually, so it won't ta ke paper t

and wales and scotla nd between england and wales and scotland are different., stricter, i'm not sure. we will hear more and more of this coming out. the one thatjumped out, the fifth or sixth paragraph, the architects propose fire retardant cladding, it was turned down. we have heard this time and again. i think that was a more interesting revelation than the fact it failed some inspections. that cladding is going to become the story coming forward. we have the story already, the slightly more expensive cladding, they chose not to use it. finally, very briefly, financial times, your paper, a bit of a barney at the bank of england over interest rates. what is most annoying to mark carney is exactly what andrew haldane will say. the chief economist says, we need to raise rates, 24 hours after mark carney said we did not. it is a big deal, inflation is at a long—term high. it has gone up because the pound has gone down. for our readers, this is pretty coarse stuff. notjust for your readers, for everyone, indeed. thank you very much forjoining us. you can see all

eastern scotland, some good cloud breaks here.o the high teens once again. and the further south you are, not only dry but some sunny spells, best of which will be on the south coast. into wednesday, we draw the air up from the south. we'll still see some rain at times in the north—west highlands and islands of scotland. most, though, will have a dry day and, with southerly winds coming off a pretty warm continent, temperatures will be the highest for the week, maybe reaching 26 or 27 celsius across the south—east corner. that's how it's looking. see you again soon. this is bbc news. the headlines at eight: back in favour — michael gove returns to the cabinet as environment secretary in theresa may's post—election reshuffle. meanwhile, open speculation continues among senior conservatives about the prime minister's future. theresa may is a dead woman walking. it's just how long she's gonna remain on death row. it is right that she should go ahead, form a government and deliver on the priorities of the people. and still no deal wit

scotland will say, what about us? scotland will say, what about us? ithink us?ut the most serious consequences could be for the peace process. for example, the dup may be more comfortable than any other party in northern ireland with the continuation of direct rule. that it's not their preferred option but they could live with it. if that is the situation, and the storm on talks to try to get the assembly, which has been in crisis and down now for months, that's a very serious situation, if the dup and the tory party actually decide their deal is more important than storm on being restored, that is very serious indeed. 0k. it is good to speak to you, peter hain, secretary of state for northern ireland formerly. we did ask to speak to someone from the government and the dup this morning but we were told no one was available to talk to us. coming up next on the andrew marr programme, michael fallon, the defence secretary, will join michael fallon, the defence secretary, willjoin andrew. it's time now to say goodbye to ben, who's going to do the news for andrew mar

place in scotland.lso saved the liberal democrats. they've lost two seats in england but are picking up seats in scotland. the expect to lose leeds north west, greg mulholland, we expect that to be a labour gain as well. but again these two tribes election playing out in extraordinarily different ways in different parts. family liberal democrat seats do we have in so far? our scoreboard with showing just one liberal democrat seat, no change. is that correct? i think that's right will stop one. yes. i hope that's right. but they may well pick up vince cable's old street, twickenham, maybe one or two others in london, but nothing in the south—west. the results from the south—west, the liberal democrats have gone further backwards. as we said at the start of the night the liberal democrats would be happy to hold on to what they had and maybe make a couple of games, but they we re make a couple of games, but they were not expecting much else. well, the victor in sheffield hallam, jared o'mara, speaking and

at the morning we have rained clearing scotland and then for scotla nd clearing scotland and then forand and northern ireland are day of sunshine and showers, some of which will be heavy. a dry start across central and eastern parts elsewhere the rain coming in from the west will move across us all as we go through the day. details in 15 minutes. good morning. we are here in borough market, the scene of the dreadful events on saturday night. first of all, let me give you a sense of where we are this morning. behind me you can see the shard looking rather beautiful this morning in the sunshine falls six a.m. and you can see police behind me here, armed officers. we are on the outer edge of the cordon. some streets are still blocked. we are hearing in the last few minutes that london bridge has reopened and to my right here you can see some of the flowers, the tributes that have already been left ear and the officer as will remain in location here for some time. main developments overnight, police say they know the names of the men who brought terror to london on saturday night. they sa

the cloud will be thick enough for spots of rain in western scotland. on sunday, a damp and mild start. quite a lot of cloud in northern ireland but in scotland and northern ireland it will thin and break in the afternoon. some fog on irish sea coasts. for most across england and wales it's going to be a beautiful start to the day, plenty of sunshine. at 9am, we will see temperatures rocketing up, 24 degrees. another hot day. for the rest of the day the cloud is going to be broken up in the southern and eastern counties of northern ireland and parts of scotland but in england and wales again we will have plenty of sunshine and it will become hot, temperatures around 31 in the south—east, the high 20s in the rest of england and when the sunshine comes out, low to mid 20 in scotland. very high levels of uv so it may be worth putting on some suncream. next week we will keep the hot air across southern parts of the uk but the high pressure will bring in some fresh air from the north so the temperatures will drop away, for example in sheffield, down to 20 be

but nonetheless, the first minister of scotland saying she strongly believes that people in scotlanda choice about their future at the end of the brexit process at the risk of repeating myself, lorna, thank you very much. news is coming into us about a major siebary tack, affecting a number of russians companies and has also hit ukrainian companies and institutions. we're hearing that ukraine's state energy distributor and kiev‘s main airport have been hit by what's called an unknown virus, which is expected to lead to severe flight delays. the metro, kiev metro has stopped accepting payment cards. several chains of petrol stations have suspended operations. 0ther petrol stations have suspended operations. other companies affected include ukraine's central bank, several tv channels and postal services and the ukrainian deputy prime minister says the government's computer network is also down. so by anyone's standards this is a major cyber attack that is under way. let's go to our correspondent in kiev for us. what more can you tell us? well, this is looking like an extremely widespre

in the end, it was heartbreak for scotland.and. the newest instalment of international football's oldest rivalry, one that goes back to 1872, each encounter laced with anticipation. security was increased after recent terror attacks. there was a minute's silence in memory of the victims before kick—off. this was a match scotland had to win, something they had not done at home to england in 32 years and which looked unlikely as the visitors applied the pressure. that pressure told after half—time, when alex oxlade—chamberlain came off the bench to make an immediate impact. a goal craig gordon might feel he should have saved. scotland were bruised, but not beaten. they were invigorated from griffiths. they equalised in the closing stages. they were invigorated. the drama was far from over. three minutes later, unbelievably, in almost identical fashion, griffiths did it again, to send his fans and team into dreamland. but with three priceless points almost within grasp, the celebrations came to an abrupt end, as harry kane had the
