for theresa may, it is falling apart, it isa theresa may, it is falling apart, it is a disaster.lready hear rumours about the 9th ofjune. i advise jeremy corbyn to take things head—on, be honest, and set out your vision for this country and how were going to transform it for the better. tax plans that say 95% of people will not pay any more and those at the very top, the super—rich, will those at the very top, the super— rich, will pay those at the very top, the super—rich, will pay a little more so we can super—rich, will pay a little more so we can have super—rich, will pay a little more so we can have more nurses, super—rich, will pay a little more so we can have more nurses, are fire service is not slashed, our navy and raf are not better mated and we have 10,000 new police officers on the street under labour. is this where you thought theresa may and the conservative party would be at this stage of the campaign? at the start of the campaign at the polls were extraordinary. speaking to friends of mine at various levels of the conservative party, no one believed those polls at

what is your take on where theresa may lies now? theresa may has to go. she's done.vigorated, and more importantly a labour movement which is reinvigorated. it's engaging the young, the old, the gay, the straight, the black, white, and brown, and all the colours in between. and we need to go that way. all of what ukip but uncomfortable with? i think that‘s theresa may in the end will go. corbyn looked comfortable in his own skin. there was energy right from the moment he launched the manifesto. i said, wow. may had none of that. this‘ll be a seminal moment in our history, as we said brexit was. as a historian, where do you think this will take us? we want someone who actually does embody a sense of the national interest. it comes out of theresa may's mouth of a robotic mantra. you cannot possibly have someone as incompetent, spectacularly incompetent, as theresa may has proved herself, going forward to the negotiations for brexit. you might as well pick someone at random out of the yellow pages. they would be better than her! do you think... the other problem is she

theresa may didn't.years. insiders here at labour hq say this result was absolutely a victory forjeremy corbyn. they say he enthused voters, especially the young, by offering clear, popular policies. the question now is whether labour mps will finally accept his leadership. last year, mr corbyn was challenged for the top job. today, his former rival was eating humble pie. well, i was clearly wrong in feeling that jeremy wouldn't be able to do this well, and i think he has proved me wrong and lots of people wrong, and i take my hat off. i don't know whatjeremy‘s got, but if we could bottle it and drink it, we'd all be doing very well. others praise mr corbyn's performance but point out that power is still some way off. we can win over former conservative voters, but we need to understand why, despite the fact that they often identify with our values, they didn't vote for us this time. and so, that's not a negative process, it's a positive process, building on the leap forward that we had at this general e

theresa may wants to continue.itimacy to continue and her resolve has stiffened in the past few hours. in the early hours of the morning she seemed more uncertain and strained, there was a wobble in tory ranks with the tory mps speculating as to whether she could survive. now she says with the support the dup she believes she can it may be a temporary sticking plaster solution. there is no disguising the anger among the tory mps, about the unnecessary election, a botched campaign, orchestrated by theresa may and her aides and a manifesto drawn up by team may, the reason that the party have not moved against her now is because brexit supporting tories don't want to jeopardise the brexit talks due to begin next week and other conservatives fear if thee quit now it would seed the initiative to jeremy corbyn to form a minority labour government. when talking to theresa may's critics, including in the dup, there is a view that theresa may is safe, possibly until the summer but during the summer recess, there is a possib

it is one reason why theresa may is safe in thejob for one reason why theresa may is safe in the jobare to begin if they are going to conclude in the time available, and there is no other available leader hammering on the door of number ten saying, i will take the role on. that is why she is staying where she is for now. she clearly wa nts to where she is for now. she clearly wants to form a minority government with confidence and supply arrangements with the dup. we will see where we get to. in terms of nick timothy and fiona hill, it could be that now they have some of the priorities in terms of policy that the tories want to pursue in government and how they might change, they believe that the brexit plan laid out in the manifesto, some of those core elements might change. possibly. there will be tory mps urging theresa may not to bend on her brexit strategy. it is extraordinarily complicated. isn't it? ben, thank you for now. let's pick up on some of that, because the prime minister is preparing to hold discussions with the dup, the chief whip already being in belfast to begin ne

theresa may didn't.erested in his kind of antiestablishment rhetoric and how he has kind of always sat on the backbenches and just been fighting for small people, for the little man, for 30—odd years. insiders here at labour hq say this result was absolutely a victory forjeremy corbyn. they say he enthused voters, especially the young, by offering clear, popular policies. the question now is whether labour mps will finally accept his leadership. last year, mr corbyn was challenged for the top job. today, his former rival was eating humble pie. well, i was clearly wrong in feeling that jeremy wouldn't be able to do this well, and i think he has proved me wrong and lots of people wrong, and i take my hat off to him. i don't know whatjeremy‘s got, but if we could bottle it and drink it, we'd all be doing very well. 0thers praise mr corbyn‘s performance but point out that power is still some way off. we can win over former conservative voters, but we need to understand why, despite the fact that they often i

theresa may may not be here, but i hope to make a good fist of it.ant more of a role, and a more powerful cabinet as a whole. life is not going to be easy in future. would a bit more cabinet discussion help? there have been a lot of complaints, a lot of feeling that things have been decided by a small group of people, ministers have not been consulted. i think the prime minister would be wise to pay attention to this feeling that ministers need to be included in all decisions. you know, any decision that affects their department, it is absurd they are not consulted. theresa may's credit with voters seemed to fade the longer the campaign went on. once, when she was defending tory spending plans. in the labour party manifesto, we know the figures don't add up. what is important... what about your own figures? let the prime minister answer. two terrorist attacks made this an election like no other. mrs may claimed to be the leader to keep britain safe, but was challenged time and again about police cuts. austerity was costing them support. jeremy corbyn

i wouldn't trust her as far as theresa may. i wouldn't trust her as farasi theresa may.orp in? i think so, i would trust corp in? i think so, i would certainly give him a chance —— corbyn. so hundreds of miles today politics influx but life rolling on. jon kay, bbc news. so, the uk is digesting the shock election result that saw prime minister, theresa may's conservative party lose its majority. nevertheless, she will now start forming a new government, with her political partners in northern ireland. we'll leave you with some of the sights and sounds of the past day or so, stay with us as the bbc follows every twist and turn. big ben sounds and what we're saying is the conservatives are the largest party. note they don't have an overall majority at this stage. unless the exit poll is incredibly wrong, the prime minister has bailed to achieve her principal objective. the prime minister has failed to achieve her principal objective. the worst possible outcome would be a hung parliament. cheering politics has changed and politics isn't going back. you live by the sword and

we are waiting for theresa may to come out.d media but she needs to meet in buckingham palace for approval and she needs to be there in 40 minutes. so we will follow this for you and we will break in if she speaks. cheryl: we certainly will. in the meantime we are following big news at home uber ceo travis kalanick in hot water after racy e-mail he sent to employees leaked online. lauren: probably the most so solacious story. tracee: internal memo offering employees do's and don't's after work trip obtain pped and released by tech site. rules for the trip included, quote, do not have sex with another employee unless, a, you have asked that person for that privilege and they have responded with an imfattic, yes, i will have sex with you and, b, the two or more of you do not work in the same chain of command, yes that means travis will be celibate on this trip. also do not, quote, throw large kegs o of tall buildings a urged employees to, quote, have a great time. the latest bombshell released after 20 managers and low-level empl

theresa may wanted a hard brexit. she repeatedly said to leave with nothing is better than a bad deal. jeremy corbyn said we want to remain friends with the eu. we are leaving the eu, not europe. brussels'his work in favor? give them more leverage? click you have something unique on an eu level. you have a 27 heads of state united, when it comes to these brexit negotiations. remaining to be seen when those negotiations get underway. it puts the u.k. government and theresa may and a weaker position. she called these snap elections by saying she needed a stronger mandate, a stronger parliament. she has lost that. earlier, talk of her trying to form a coalition with the party from northern ireland. , butcampaigned for brexit they want a soft brexit. they want to keep trade ties with the eu. most people say they want it, the problem is how that gets put into place is a question. questions remain that need answering. other world news. the cattle and regional government has chosen october 1 as the day for referendum on a sp

in contrast, theresa may had a dreadful campaign.ring herself to mention that she'd actually lost her majority. what the country needs more than ever is certainty. and having secured the largest number of votes and the greatest number of seats in the general election, it is clear that only the conservative and unionist party has the legitimacy and ability to provide that certainty by commanding a majority in the house of commons. now, let's get to work. i was expecting like a lot of conservatives were, a speech in which she acknowledged the election had not gone the way she hoped. good conservative colleagues had lost their seats and she would try harder and work together to provide stable government. we heard none of that. so, i am afraid this headline wrote itself. at any other time theresa may might have been forced to quit. but no tory dares risk another election now. so how long can she survive? i think she's in a lot of trouble. i think she's a dead woman walking. lounge she stays on death row, who knows. brexit will continue t

it is really all about theresa may. many stairs into the a byss. theresa may.t, this thought process that is happening now, how close is it to the truth?|j process that is happening now, how close is it to the truth? i think they are quite spot on. they will all be sitting there, david davis, borisjohnson all be sitting there, david davis, boris johnson and all be sitting there, david davis, borisjohnson and theresa may thinking, where do we go next? the conservatives have to regroup and remember what they offered the country. theresa may talked about the things that mattered to people. why people were voting brexit and how they were feeling at home. that‘s why she is four points ahead. is there a plot right now to replace theresa may? this is the conservative party, there‘s probably a lwa ys conservative party, there‘s probably always a plot. i don't know. i think people get annoyed when... i am playing that role of sort of laughing about it, but this is our prime minister we are talking about andi prime minister we are talking about and i think sometimes in t

this was a shot of theresa may walking back into no 10. theresa may walking back into no 10.inpm. and the i... it talks about a catastrophic misjudgement. and the daily mirror — their headline is the coalition with crackpots . asa bennett, what went wrong? obviously, this is not where theresa may wanted to be, she wanted to be lionised as the new a little bit, then you blair, with a huge majority. it was a low—energy campaign, she decided it was not worth facing jeremy corbyn in the studios, she decided to let the argument take root, because he was a socialist etc. the only thing she mentioned regarding the manifesto was the social care fiasco, she did not mention anything else. in the meantime, now, she's having to scrape into power with a victory speech which seemed to have been prewritten, saying, fax to r&a is in the dup... it isjust a matter of, how long does she survive, at this rate. owen jones, just down the road here, she is in number 10 downing street this morning. can you give us an idea of where you think her head is at this morning, she gives the impression of bu

some tory mps are demanding theresa may has a rethink.le have rejected a hard brexit. we are leaving the eu. i don't think there's any change there, but we're not going to be leaving the eu in some irresponsible way that will damage our country and, of course, the future generations. a manifesto to see us through brexit and beyond. theresa may had wanted a strong mandate from voters for this, the tories manifesto, which set out their aims for brexit. —— the tories' manifesto, which set out their aims for brexit. it promised to take britain out of the single market and have control over the eu migration to britain. to strike new free—trade deals with the eu and other countries. theresa may also said no brexit deal was better than a bad one, a threat to walk away from talks. every conservative scottish, english and welsh mp was elected on our manifesto, so obviously, we deliver the plans in that manifesto as best we can, including, and especially, on brexit. even though theresa may didn't win the election outright, today, ministers insisted

it opposite with theresa may.nk there will be a more conciliatory approach in relation to brexit, but in the eu, it is business like usual and they will pursue negotiations per their agenda. rishaad: right. breaking news coming through. the former liberal democratic leader clegg has lost his constituency. labor has gained it from the democrats. we should get an idea of how big this wing was towards the labour party. that let theader democrats was defending his constituency and has -- what else is going on? seats.t 97 the conservatives on 79. this after 200 results. that is according to the press association. this is the situation in deed pending on terms. this is the foreign secretary boris johnson at the moment. let's have a listen. >> 716. party, 884. u.k. independence party, 1577. , 18,682.rty liberal democrats, 1835 or it number of ballot papers rejected declareand i hereby alexander johnson is elected to serve as a member of parliament. rishaad: i do beg your pardon. this coming as his name is touted as possi

there is also a sense that theresa may before the ma nifesto that theresa may before the manifesto willit has any chance of getting through. we have from graham brady, chairman of the 1922 committee of backbenchers, he is 80 leaderfor the committee of backbenchers, he is 80 leader for the grammar schools, the expansion of grammar schools which was a key election pledge. he accepted that is unlikely to happen now. there will be a sense that a lot of the manifesto pledges can't be realised. as you say, brexit still remains a crucial issue. also worth noting, as well, we had the michael fallon the descent oosthuizen defence —— the defence secretary michael fallon who said it will now be a collegiate cabinet. her to advisers yesterday resigned from their role. it must now be collected and collegiate in the way they run the government. they are starting to see that. thank you, we will leave you in downing street for now. back there shortly, no doubt. we have had some movement today on the issue of the impact of any deal with the dup that the conservatives might make. obviously, big concern i

days would have been like for theresa may and her team7m days would have been like for theresa may and if you do something as big as calling a general election where you think you will get a landslide and then you don't even get a majority, that is, by any stretch of the imagination, a sense of complete failure. and actually i don't think there are real comparisons to be made between our operation and theresa may's operation, because i think we were confident, we were all so, we reached out to the plp, to the labourmps, we reached out to the plp, to the labour mps, we made sure that the whole government at least felt part of what we were doing. this isn't about nick timothy and fiona hell, this is about theresa may. theresa may ran the home office with this very tight control and you can do that as a minister but when you are at prime minister, you cannot run the government like this, and sol think even what has happened since his election has underlined some of the extraordinary weaknesses in theresa may as a leader. her statement outside downing street was just incredible. there is g

theresa may had to allow them to go.n this afternoon, where what this has done is give theresa may time, but still in the short—term, because even those conservatives who think our position is not sustainable might say... someone said this morning, this is really not a good time. because the brexit talks are just too important. i think that's correct, and it was clear earlier, we we re correct, and it was clear earlier, we were talking to a tory mps, and while there was dismay and anger about how the campaign had been run, nobody wanted a leadership contest. it is not a clear leader waiting to ta ke it is not a clear leader waiting to take place. and we're about to start the brexit talks. that is the appetite for the general election, thatis appetite for the general election, that is no appetite at the moment for the leadership contest. there have been those pressures from tory mps over the last 2a hours for nick timothy and fiona hill cycle. there isa timothy and fiona hill cycle. there is a meeting of tory mps at the b

theresa may is friendless at when —— westminster other than the dup, theresa may is friendless at whentminster otherthan the dup, so it is a pact of necessity. some of theissues it is a pact of necessity. some of the issues well illustrated by ruth davidson's comments. the conservative leader in scotland has picked up on some of the dup‘s positions on various issues. some people might find unpalatable and that has become an issue with gay rights, to do with abortion, same—sex marriages let's hear what she had to say. i spoke with the prime minister this morning and i told her there were a things are worried us, one thing is country and the other is gay and transgender rights. i asked for reassurance that if any deal was done with the dup, there would be no recession of lgbti writes. we tried to use it the influence that we have to use it the influence that we have to advance the rights of lgbti people in ireland. northern ireland is the only part of the uk were cannot have same—sex mess marriage. i want categoric assurance from the prime minister on that and i received it. yes, she rec

some loyal supporters were trying to cheer theresa may up.cores of newly elected labour mps are arriving here and old tory mps are arriving here and old tory mps departing means theresa may is going to have to change, whether she likes it or not. she's a week and prime minister with no majority in this place, and that means any of the more controversial ideas in her ma nifesto the more controversial ideas in her manifesto will bite the dust. it's probably goodbye to more grammar schools, probably an end to the idea of tightening up pension benefits. the simple truth — theresa may can't guarantee she will get her way. the simple truth — theresa may can't guarantee she will get her waym would be great if she now gets the government in place, which she started to do yesterday, and starts these negotiations. she can than herself make any decisions about the future. there are also demands to shift on her approach to the biggest policy of all, how we leave the eu. cabinet ministers have told me there has to be a change of tone, perhaps a change of

theresa mayjust made it worse.day agreement, that is worth listening to. in terms of what labour does, a lot will depend on how this will unfold. it surprises me that we haven't heard from the prime minister any words of reassurance about what is going on in terms of the deal with the dup and the potential impact on the process in northern ireland ? potential impact on the process in northern ireland? it doesn't surprise the at all. in this six—week campaign, she has shown herself to be quite unresponsive and unaccountable. please run a very presidential campaign and it has spectacularly backfired. this seemed so spectacularly backfired. this seemed so much in keeping with the kind of prime minister that she seeks to be. i think the 40% vote share for the labour party, of course that is in pa rt labour party, of course that is in part support for labour's left agenda and its vision for a better society. but it's also a rejection of theresa may and the kind of government and country that she wa nts government and co

if the deal is done between the dup and theresa may, how sta ble between the dup and theresa may, howd be, and secondly can you envisage a situation where jeremy and secondly can you envisage a situation wherejeremy corbyn could be prime minister in the next short while? the daily mirror is carrying an opinion poll showing that labour underjeremy corbyn is now more popular than the conservatives under theresa may. so anything could happen in the next few volatile days and weeks. the electorate clearly have said to the political class, a plague of your house, especially the conservatives, although the tories did poll more votes than labour and retain more seats. right across the democratic world, in europe, in america, where we saw donald trump unexpectedly elected, last year in britain when brexit happened against all expectations, in france where the dominant party since the second world war have been brutally shouldered aside by a fascist party under marine le pen and then a emmanuel macron's centrist party, the old politics is dissolving under our feet, the old politics is dissolvi

theresa may i would give 4. think she is a diminished figure. is that how you see it? yes, i would go further and givejeremy corbyn 9 out of 10, given he went into the campaign on 1 or minus something. he has made tremendous... what about tim farron? he has had a terrible campaign. i would put him on 2. really dreadful. in what sense? i think you know he was hampered at the start with all the stuff about his personal opinions on social issue, gay marriage and this stuff and he didn‘t shut that down quickly and allowed it to drag on and taint the liberal democrats‘ message and it became about his personality. after that, nothing else seemed to compete. they haven‘t cut through as tim said, we are operating a two—party system it feels like. tim farron, is his leadership of the liberal democrats under threat? depending on the results, but if it doesn‘t go brilliantly? i think so we will have three succession battles in all three succession battles in all three of the main parties. perhaps all four if you include uk

theresa may's with majority has been severely cut. has been diminished with the diminishing number of seats as well. this might not be the reef reshuffled cabinet we were expecting a few weeks ago. thank you ellie, we will come back for any more reshuffle news this afternoon. the prime minister has spoken on the phone with the irish taoiseach, enda kenny. our correspondentjohn campbell is in our belfast newsroom. it's interesting that we have the statement from number ten, albeit in response to an intervention, if you wa nt to response to an intervention, if you want to call it that, from the iris by minister. trying to offer reassurance to nationalist and republicans in the northern ireland assembly that they will be working to try to restore that assembly, which collapsed earlier this year? what is happening here is that the good friday agreement is the document that underpins the peace process in northern ireland. the british and irish government are supposed to act as co—guarantors of that agreement. they should act with rigorous

one wonders what those conversations between theresa may and is cabinet collea g u es theresa may andether this shows the authority has been seriously diminished, given the outcome of the general election. there were rumours she would've a reshuffle her cabinet more in her own image or a cabinet which would reflect those people she wanted, but the fact she has not changed maps suggests she does not have the the power to do so. there are suggestions from her backbench and is that her power has been seriously diminished now, talking about brexit and how she might shape those negotiations. it is interesting but she has kept a number of her cabinet ministers the same. one wonders whether that is trying to keep the party together because there were calls about her leadership and about what might happen. we have heard clips from the former chancellor, george osborne, today who said she was a deadwood woman walking and it was a deadwood woman walking and it was only a matter of time before she relinquished her leadership on the party. it is shoring up a position, making sure she has a govern

a trusted friend of theresa may, damian green is doing that now.g clark is staying as business directory. we have also heard on friday that the big beasts are staying put, amber rudd at the home office, boris johnson at the foreign office, philip hammond in the treasury and michael fallon as defence secretary and david davis as brexit secretary. not a huge amount of movement, certainly in the upper echelons, but today we have seen a subtle around. we are waiting five —— as shuffle around. we are waiting for more news. sajid javid, communities secretary, has gone in, we haven't heard what he's got. justin greening the education secretary has gone into. they have all gone in and have come out yet. ten cabinet ministers trooping out downing street and an interesting reshuffle of the pack. thanks for now and we will be back to you very soon. let's take a look at weather prospects. we'll start with the latest satellite sequence which shows it was a lovely day. we have sunshine, heavy rain in northern ireland and western scotland. it will stay wet in wes

theresa may isa a theresa may's heels. theresa may is a dead woman walking.ent this week, they will face the reality of political life without a majority in the house of commons. compromises will need to be found, controversial policies may bite the dust. there is point in sailing ahead with items that were in the manifesto which we will not get through parliament. to get anything done, the conservatives need boat from another party. they are trying to do a deal with northern ireland‘s dup. both sides suggested the principles of an agreement were in place. we have very good discussions yesterday with the conservative party and how we could support them in forming a national government, one that would bring stability to the nation. those discussions continue. we have made good progress. after such a bad political miscalculation, most leaders would be forced out, but many conservative mps do not have the appetite for a distracting leadership contestjust as brexit talks are about to start, and they don‘t want to risk a second general election. for now, theresa m

have a look at the percentages here. 44% to theresa may.yn‘s 41% that is remarkable. a close second, it is thought many, many young voters pouring in to support labour. the liberal democrats bumping along on 8%, although they are focusing their vote better this time, winning some more seats. the greens on two, one seat for them, and ukip on 2% is a big part of this story. their vote has crashed since the last general election. look at that, down ii%. it was thought it would go straight to the conservatives, but it surely didn't. labour benefited as well. let's go to our house of commons, because that is where all of the action happens now. so with one seat still to count, the conservatives have 318 mps. crucially, they don't pass this line, 326 is the number of mps required to have a so—called overall majority. where this party can outvote all of the other mps put together. they cannot do that. let's see the opposition benches... labour improved by about 30 seats here, 261. the snp, by contrast, losing more than one third of theirs. the lib

may. 0k, hammer it out with theresa may.er it out with theresa may. ok, john, thank you very much. certainly the pressure is on theresa may to come to compromises if necessary , may to come to compromises if necessary, to find an accommodation with the dup. jeremy corbyn, as i say, waiting in the wings. he said just a little earlier on the andrew marr programme, we are quite ready and able to put forward a serious programme which obviously have massive support in this country. so he is basically saying, we are ready and waiting if you, theresa may, cannot come up with the goods. so huge time pressure with the queen's speech and the beginning of brexit negotiations are little over a week away. that is it for the moment from westminster, we will be back soon but right now it is over to you, ben. thank you very much indeed. the latest headlines: downing street and the democratic unionist party have both issued statements overnight making it clear that a deal between them has not yet been finalised. the former chancellor george

speech from theresa may.is on tenderer, hooks o hear from theresa may, and what her plan is. will there be a new beast challenging theresa may? suggest they will be the minority government. let's take it to the gilt market reaction. ilts, getting ready for the worst-case scenario in their mind. we have a hung parliament, we have a deficit, rebalancing the books. there are domestic issues to deal with in terms of inflation and deficits. but it in a context of fixed income markets for us. >> i think if we look at gilt yields, we have been constructed on gilts for a while. seen that primarily because we are worried about the u.k. economic outlook. that has its prime cause in brexit, but is still playing out in front of us one way or another. the results from the selection, as washand means yes, being discussed before, the possibility of a less hard strengthened,aps but on the other hand, this will significantly increase already complicated short-term economic problems. weeping confidence will suffer as a result

theresa may asked for a mandate for herformer brexit, she didn't theresa may asked for a mandate forshe didn't get it. that must surely undermined her to some extent, the negotiations. it. that must surely undermined her to some extent, the negotiationsm is true she didn't get that and that does weaken our position going into negotiations but it doesn't mean we shouldn't start and get on with them. i think we should. this is such an important issue and you can't spend your time just talking about it. and diplomacy in international negotiations the best thing is to get stuck in and get some real negotiating happening. i am infavourof some real negotiating happening. i am in favour of going forward. emanuel macron with the new president of france going to sweep assembly elections, angela merkel looking more electable, they are all strong and stable, they will look at us as strong and stable, they will look at us as weak and unstable. they may, we don't have the whip hand but we have voted to leave the eu and we have voted to leave the eu and we have to have this new procedure should an

former chancellor george osborne described theresa may as a dead woman walking. it's just how long she's going to remain on death row. what's your guess? i think we will know very shortly. i mean, we could get to next week and it all collapses for her. labour leaderjeremy corbyn says there could be another election soon and he is preparing an alternative queen's speech. we are quite ready and able to put forward a serious programme, which has massive support within this country. also in the next hour, the fake suicide belts designed to spread terror in the london bridge attack. the police say anyone seeing them would have assumed they were real. one of the officers on the scene said what they faced. at that point, there were still a lot of gunshots ringing out. at that point, i did not know if it were coming from us orfrom the bad guys. and the tv presenter richard hammond is recovering in hospital, after his car crashed and burst into flames while filming you in switzerland. good afternoon from westminster, where the fall—out from the general election is continu

some loyal supporters were trying to cheer theresa may up. fact that scores of newly elected labour mps are arriving here and old tory mps departing means theresa may is going to have to change, whether she likes it or not. she is a weakened prime minister, with no majority in this place and that means any of the more controversial ideas in her manifesto will bite the dust. it's probably goodbye to more grammar schools, probably an end to the idea of tightening up pensioner benefits. the simple truth — theresa may can't guarantee she'll get her way. i think it would be great if she now gets the government in place, which she's started to do yesterday and starts these negotiations and then she can then herself make any decisions about the future. there are demands too, to shift on her approach to the biggest policy of all — how we leave the eu? cabinet ministers have told me there has to be a change of tone and there are open calls for a change of priority. there's a lot to discuss, a lot to dissect but we do have to make sure that we invite o

but that would represent a big political defeat for theresa may. which means the conservatives would lose 17 seats and the opposition party, labor, would gain 37 seats. they will be forced into a hung parliament situation. they could try to team up with a smaller party to be a coalition government or decide to go alone and try and take each individual issue and try and win the votes individually in parliament that way which would create a mess if this country looks to start negotiating brexit in 11 days' time. we understand the turnout was very large. there was a much bigger turnout among the young voters. theyend to vote for the labour party. these are the same vots who didn't show up for the brexit vote. as we stand for the first results. this exit poll suggests that it's not a good night for theresa may. already speculation on social media, will she be forced to resign if she loses the conservative party's majority. if she does resign, who takes over. this is all premature. as you can imagine. not great for the conservative party and the market'

you will note —— theresa may.s about that. the lack of assembly as storm at as well and also the social policies the dup despises and that it might take the conservative party backwards. do you have concerns? never any concerns about talking to people, but a formal agreement for the reasons you mentioned would concern me greatly. we are in a position of holding a ring in northern ireland. the conservative party and individual conservative members take a very different view on some social issues and it matters to us so i don't think we should follow a formal agreement at all or anything like that. the prime minister needs to get a workable sense of what we can do but it needn't require a formal agreement. i don't want to see anything that would put the conservative party in a position of having to agree to things that are not part of our nature now. do you have any concerns, therefore, that the coming weeks will be a really difficult period because the dup might lay down certain rules? they might lay down certain r

does this save theresa may? and forjust how long? or even the fear of her party. it's the fact that they can't see anyone obvious with whom to replace her. nor can they see an obvious process to find that person that doesn't risk plunging the party and the government into potentially fatal instability. there were frustrations in the party. it was about whether or not all of us felt included in her project. is europe laughing at us, or as confused as we are? mark urban speaks to angela merkel‘s right—hand man. we should not waste time. we should go into the details as soon as possible. and do we have to define a new direction for britain now? who are the left—behinds, and what are they asking for?

look at the campaign from theresa may, i listened to john campaign from theresa may, i listened tojohn, she started off this campaign, buta government, she started off this campaign, but a campaign around government, she started off this campaign, buta campaign around her, a25 campaign, buta campaign around her, a 25 point lead and ending up with the two point lead. someone builds a campaign around themselves in that campaign around themselves in that campaign falters so badly as we've seen with the conservative campaign, it's difficult to see how they can carry on in the future. first minister, good of you tojoin us. ca rwyn minister, good of you tojoin us. carwyn jones there minister, good of you tojoin us. carwynjones there in cardiff. let's put all of this into context of what is coming up, gus 0'donnell still with us. just wondering this morning while we were talking about laura kuenssberg earlier, giving us the latest word from downing street, the prime minister has no intention of resigning, working to form a government based on being the largest party in seats and votes. would

hello, i'm theresa may and that's it.ke the view that it will not be theresa may doing the final brexit deal so they don't want to invest a vast amount of time and effort because the calculation is she won't be there. she has to reach some form of agreement with the dup. we should stress it is not a formal coalition, but she needs, mathematically, there is a huge problem there, isn't there? it's already bubbling up this morning in that many tory mps are deeply, deeply uncomfortable of having any arrangement, no matter how loose, with the dup because they hold very socially conservative views on things like gay rights, marriage, abortion and they oppose same—sex marriage and i think they are opposed to abortion. . many tory mps ta ke opposed to abortion. . many tory mps take the view they have spent the past 20 years trying to distance the conservative party from those views and present a more tolerable, liberal and contemporary stance on these positions. mary feel is, if i can put it this way, contamination that the tory

he said he went into theresa may and he said he went into theresa may and he said he went into theresa he and others have said to her that things will have to change. so a different kind of decision—making and the fact that of course her authority has been damaged. she did not deliver that huge victory that many of these conservatives were hoping for. that means she is going to speak to them, she will have to make decisions alongside them as well. so i can imagine there will be a bigger team, cabinet well. so i can imagine there will be a biggerteam, cabinet having much more stay on things. people like nicola sturgeon, the first minister of scotland, saying when it comes to brexit, there needs to be a deal by all four nations of the uk. now is time they behind the government and the brexit talks, but they have some kind of agreement. that is just so unlikely because there are many who think they should stay in the single market, that is what nicola sturgeon wa nts. market, that is what nicola sturgeon wants. of course there are many others in the tory party who com pletely others in th

may, but then stood down and theresa may, but then stood down and theresa may, but then stood down ands crowned, if you like it as the leader of the conservative party. significant brexiteers today yes signed up in the cabinet in what has otherwise been a relatively quiet reshuffle. a number of cabinet positions remaining the same. you wonder how much room for manoeuvre she really had. this is it, really. there was a suggestion that when she went to the polls and suggested a large majority that she might shuffle out certain key individuals that maybe she did not get on with. there were talks about what would happen to liam fox as the secretary of state for international development. —— international trade. also, the secretary of state for international development, pretty bit out. similarly andrea leadsom. there is a suggestion that her power has been hampered by the outcome of this election, and we saw the resignation of her two aides yesterday, those two roundly blamed for what happened in the general election and the general direction that the conservative campaign took. the incenti

theresa may does not have a parliamentary majority.as nothing to that which theresa may faces which may well make maastricht look like a walk in the park. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. we've already seen temperatures of 31 degrees and it will be the hottest day of the year so far. before you reach 3a it will be the hottestjune before you reach 3a it will be the hottest june day for a0 before you reach 3a it will be the hottestjune day for a0 years. much hotter as well across the midlands, north east england. today we have that sunshine and that makes the difference. we have some cloud formation, and we often get this before big summertime thunderstorms break—out. a clue as to what the weather prospects hold. but for the time being a lot of dry weather around. barely a cloud in the sky for many areas and temperatures pushing up towards 3a. some

theresa may, honestly? from the tens of thousands positioned ? theresa may, honestly?a soft brexit conservative party without being completely humiliated and humble. humbled even more so than she is today. interesting, i am being told that reuters is reporting that the prime minister told the 1922 committee that she will serve them for as long as you want me. it does not sound like a statement from a position of strength? she is not ina a position of strength? she is not in a position of strength and ultimately, as we have been being discussing, it was made clear to her on saturday, if it was not clear already, no way would she wanted to have been stripped of her closest advisers. nick timothy has been with her since 2005. they are an indissoluble unit, the kind of unit where you do not know where one ends and the other begins! for her to be alone, and i must say that at the moment she must feel alone and friendless in downing street. it is a horrible position for anybody who has, as i do, having worked with her, real affection and respect for her, real affection and r

may to say that unless they 90, theresa may to say that unless they go, you go.gnations and the letters and state m e nts resignations and the letters and statements were public today.

it's a case of needs must for theresa may. party terms, here at westminster. there are no other allies for the conservative party, so if she doesn't get the support of the ten mps from the dup here westminster, then frankly, she won't get the queen's speech through parliament and we'll be looking at the nightmare spectre of another election within a few months, so there has to be some sort of confidence and supply arrangement at least with the dup, but the fact that the dup is the monopoly supplier of support for the conservatives means the price tag is that much higher. that's interesting. how much higher do you think that price tag is going to be? the first is it will be a huge financial price tag. what the dup will want is to reward their own community and northern ireland more generally with a lot of infrastructure projects. that's relatively easy to do, it's quite easy for government to give more money to northern ireland. beyond that that we get into the more controversial areas, because the dup will want their continuin

does theresa may not have her name on thisjoint statement why does theresa may not have her name ontatement the estimate given the chance to present a united front with our international partners, she has again opted to silence and she was subservient to again to donald trump. it is a dereliction of both oui’ trump. it is a dereliction of both our duty to this country and our duty to our planet. this is not the type of leadership britain needs to negotiate an exit or stand up to defend our planet in an era of climate change. a labour government would do it very differently. short time ago i spoke to one of the politicians here who was integral in the paris deal, ed davey, and they asked him for his reading of the prime minister's response. i'm afraid that voice would have been a lot stronger if it had been united with other countries. i think america and the white house is much more likely to take notice of britain if we are part of the wider international condemnation of this decision. i'm afraid it also suggests what i have suspected for a long time, that the conservatives under t
