the think a lot of smart tory mps and saying it is going up in coventry, norfolk, how can we say thate political implications. and that is the point of the conservatives traditionally, law and order is a strong point. but we saw at the last election that it was turned around on them. they have had trouble defending their record. some of their numbers in the daily mail story is crime reported were up by 32%. but people actually charged or summoned by 32%. but people actually charged of summoned were by 32%. but people actually charged or summoned were down by 26%. so thatis or summoned were down by 26%. so that is quite big numbers there. so it is also being done in a different ta ke it is also being done in a different take in the times, which they thought about calling numbers which have to do with the budget, but they also talk about an outdated technology and fragmented leadership. so they are calling for an in—depth review into the whole syste m an in—depth review into the whole system to work out how they can deliver better service for the people. but it is obviously a very diffi

then we got the senior tory mep who leads the tories political grouping on the centre—right who saidbout possible solutions to what previously seemed impossible and he said that moment on wednesday night when angela merkel and emanuel macron and if you other leaders went for a macron and if you other leaders went fora drink in macron and if you other leaders went for a drink in brussels and it proved there was a lack of urgency on the eu side about reaching a deal. then we had nigel farage who has still got a ringside seat in the european parliament and he said it proved theresa may was enthralled and she was going to sign up to a deal that would be humiliating for britain and would see the uk sticking with eu rules for ever and ever. the headlines on bbc news: a new report warns that if britain leaves the eu without a deal there could be queues, delays and even criminal gang activity at the uk border. meanwhile, theresa may will address backbench tory mps concerned about her progress on a brexit deal later this afternoon. meanwhile, theresa may will address backbench tory mps concer

complete — it comes amid condemnation of the violent language used against her by some of her own toryat's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. here is your latest sports news. lewis hamilton will have to wait until next weekend in mexico to wind his fifth formula 1 title, third at the us grand prix wasn't enough at taking the world crown. racing legend sirjackie stewart thinks lewis hamilton will retire before he reaches that mark. he will burn out, because as the success brings, now he is going into clothing, for example, other things he loves music, for example, and sooner or later you get tired of it. i did, i got tired at a very young age, 3a i retired. and i went on to other things. like in most sports, you burn—out, and he will burn out. the ecb said whilst the limited information we have been given is poorly prepared and lacks clarity and corporation, it has been properly assessed. the documentary has also been dismissed by fast bowler mark wood who is with the england squad in sri lanka. bowler mar

would be feisty shove it but as i say who knows i mean they're all they're all tories are saying they are prepared to bring down this government. and we have to wait and the liverpool conference labor made up and i'm certain quite successful attempt to broaden the agenda beyond but. how is that going to be possible when you're coming into house of commons or sorts which is going to be mayfair. on breaks that day and daily or at least in this debate it could label go across that broader agenda when the political dialogue is still dominated by europe yes of course people do have an interest in your but people are you know more concerned about you know the state the national health service and public services in general or the kids going to be able to get a decent career jewish in fees keeping a roof over their head you know spiralling house prices and even getting a house in the first place i mean the average age now for the first time buyers around thirty seven or thirty eight these are the sorts of issues of the bread and butter issues i think that people are most concerned about the

problem he has is that he might make other tory mps who do not like taxes going up tory mps who do not very unhappy. we have heard him mooted the idea that perhaps he might cut the relief on pensions savings. that has gone down badly with some so he has a fine balance tojudge. some suggested with some so he has a fine balance to judge. some suggested the ma nifesto to judge. some suggested the manifesto commitment to raise the threshold of income tax might be quietly dropped to make a fume or quit, to be blunt, but difficult decisions to make. talking about juggling. -- decisions to make. talking about juggling, —— to make more money. there are talks this weekend in brussels and officials will push on through. there is a summit wednesday at which the eu will assess whether we are in a position that a deal is looking likely and sufficient progress for them to arrange a summit in november. look out on monday when officials are due to go to brussels, behind—the—scenes folk, if you like, if dominic raab, the brexit secretary also goes, which would suggest progress is likely and worth remem

much in that think it's a tactical move by supporting this but i'm not going to you know a lot of tories say that this is kind of a strike against flexible working the modern age is about don't get me wrong i mean not one of these people is going to say it goes zero hours contracts are terrible a lot people like them students especially they're good for but a lot of people don't have a choice they're forced on zero hours contracts which leaves them in carroty which reason in love incomes has been stories of people not going out to pay their rent while working at mcdonald's and of course this is a multi-billion pound multinational corporation should just. as it does everything by the book as do all these other companies and as you said multi-billion this was followed up internationally and there's a large movement there is right around the world of america actually yes it's also of a minimum minimum ten pounds an hour fifteen dollars american started as. well very little coverage relative little coverage of that in the mainstream media lots of coverage about how successful the minority go

tory mps were happy, but it is labour'sjob house.'s job to house. tory mps were happy, but it is labour'sjob to be unimpressed with the budget and tojeremy corbyn couldn't wait to get started. this isa couldn't wait to get started. this is a broken promise budget. what we have heard today, half measures and quick fixes, while austerity grinds on. and far from people's hard work and sacrifice is having paid off, as the chancellor claims, this government has frittered it away in ideological tax cuts to the richest in our society. the government's opponents queued to condemn what they had heard. all the big decisions about how we pay for improved public services and the so—called end of austerity, it has all been put off until next year. wales was hardly mentioned at all in the budget. the part of the uk that needs investment more than any other, we are at the bottom of the economic league table at the moment and yet we get crumbs off the table once again. he hasn't ended austerity, he has continued it. we have a situation where the uni

these letters sentin trial by tory mps.ting there in that safe. brexiteers think they are quite close to getting the 48 the need to trigger a leadership contest. more plotting? it does seem every sunday we see the sunday papers and there's another story that theresa may is about to have to step down and people are plotting to become the leader of the tory party. this one does seem that this week they may actually be a very real threat to her. she is being asked to attend a meeting of the 1922 committee of tory backbenchers on wednesday, a couple papers including the sunday times and mail on sunday say 48 mps have sent a letter demanding a leadership contest. 46 have sent a letter, only 48 needed so very close. the backbenchers are threatening that if she does not come on wednesday and face the backbenchers, she could face a vote of no confidence within days. the leadership challenges are lining up, david davis thought to be a frontrunner. what i find really disturbing is how horrible the language is here. one senior blotter

well fifteen percent of tory m.p.'s or forty people would have to send in similar letters for any such thing to be considered however this still of course added fuel to the fire especially given that earlier we saw two reserve mase our former defiant foreign secretary boris johnson take to the stage as well and essentially trashing her approach to bracks it's amidst standing ovations so well with all of this discontent going on inside her own party at these quite uncertain times about how things will move forward there's a big question of whether or not it's really the time for humorous dances to be taking place. thanks for that under suspicion with the latest updates on that tory party conference thanks for that well of course a lot now to discuss this with a member of the european parliament for the u.k. independence party that's for joining us on the program today there's been growing disapproval among british employees over to reason may's handling of bricks it has been there for quite a while do you think this let

mps who do not like taxes going up tory mps who do not like taxes going up unhappy.dea that perhaps he would cut some relief on pensions savings. that has gone down badly. he has a fine balance tojudge. gone down badly. he has a fine balance to judge. some suggested the ma nifesto balance to judge. some suggested the manifesto commitment to raise the threshold of income tax might be quietly dropped to make more money but it is difficult decisions to make. we can return to the story of the storm. parts of the uk are facing a second day of travel disruption with 30 flood warnings currently in place — including 2 in scotland — as storm callum continues to bring heavy rain and strong winds. 2,000 homes and businesses in england are without power, with some flood defences breached. people in one village in south wales spent the night on evacuation alert because of rising water levels and passengers had to be rescued from a train stranded by flood water. tomos morgan reports. yeah, so it's streaming through the middle of the house at the moment. and you've made a drainage

the tories i've been speaking to don't think so.exit, all bets are off, theresa may could be a casualty, all speculation, but so is the outcome of brexit itself which is pretty much where we started the budget. thank you, john pienaar in westminster. president trump has visited the synagogue in pittsburgh which was the scene of the deadly mass shooting on saturday, in which 11 people died. the white house has angrily rejected the suggestion that mr trump's rhetoric could be to blame for emboldening racist attacks. the president is also set to meet the families of victims, but one localjewish group has told him he is not welcome in the city. 0ur north america editorjon sopel reports, from pittsburgh. awaiting donald trump's arrival, members of pittsburgh's jewish community gathered outside the tree of life synagogue to sing and to say kaddish, the prayers for those in mourning. the president flew into pittsburgh accompanied by the first lady, but also his daughter ivanka, who converted tojudaism when she married her 0rthodoxjewish pa

the problem was that the tories let it drag on for so long.overnment did in the late 70s, they could more in one year than george osborne did in eight years. now we have a legacy of this kind of drift, fiscal drift that they have let go for too long. the government would argue that they took the correct steps at the time but going back to 2010, it was a different time. something had to be done and something quite drastic. what you have seen, it is all very well saying you have only had a certain amount of government spending to get out but when you look at part of the public sector, £12 billion of wealth by cuts, cuts to the poorest part of society aimed at cleaning up the mess left by the financial crisis which was caused by the wealthiest. also seen £45 billion worth of cuts to departmental spending everything from the local government of the foreign office. when we have these huge gaps in spending for social care, adults and children are social care, adults and children are social care, that is money that is meant to go to the most vulnerab

theresa may spoke earlier at the tory party conference.line brexit but bridge devices within the tory party. difficult wrote -- rope to watch. tenure.s points on the 2/10 of 1%. fascinating stuff coming out of russia from mr. putin. as well as saudi arabia oil minister, talking about cooperation and it almost makes it feel like opec in ways is less relevant and that is a russia-saudi world now versus everybody else and talks seem to be as such. david: we have stuff to talk about. let's find out what is making headlines outside the business world. we turn to taylor riggs. taylor: a lawyer for president trump says it is false that the president and family created an empire. he was reacting to the new york times report. the times said trump evaded taxes on millions of dollars. that prompted authorities to open an investigation. president trump is turning up the pressure on one of his closest valets to curb rising oil prices. in mississippi, the president said saudi arabia might not last two weeks without u.s. support. the u.s.he rally protect

the deep unhappiness in the tory ranks on display.overnment's policy is for us to be in a transition period, a never—ending transition period to a destiny that is completely unknown, over which we have no say and no control, and that is something that nobody voted for. it is now two years, over two years since the referendum, and we have agreed that we will not regain of our laws, controls, borders and money for over four years. does she understand that for many of them and us that is already too long? does the prime minister know where we are going? there are hurried conversations about who should be in charge going on. good morning, i'm listening. good morning. who was he talking to this morning? would you want the prime minister to resign if a hard border couldn't be avoided? one minister told me there hasn't been leadership from theresa may. loyal colleagues are facing those kinds of questions. brexiteers on a day trip to brussels insist they are playing nice. would you give your full support to the prime minister? i have always d

the scottish tories want scottish fishing free of eu rules and quotas.minster, tories on all sides hate the idea of extending the brexit transition, with a further delay and further billions to the eu. they want the prime minister to mean it when she says she would walk away with no deal. it would help if the government started to demonstrate more confident that we will leave if we cannot get a deal. what we cannot have is the european union has to give us permission before we leave. the pm is sticking to the hope she will never need to lengthen the transition. britain having to stay under eu rules longer than planned, and if it does, she wants the uk free to pull out. easy to say, hard to negotiate. harder, still, to get past her party. 0nce supporteive or tolerant tory mps now say they are impatient and a vote of confidence in her leadership now looks more likely. even if she survived that, she would emerge damaged, politically weakened. there is also more muttering about who is manoeuvring for a future contest and who tory mps want next. brexit was al
