good morning from westminster, where the government and the democratic unionist party have both issuedments overnight, making clear that a deal between them has yet to be finalised. let's take a look at some of the main developments over the last 2a hours. the dup says it has held "positive talks" over a possible deal to support a conservative minority government, after tory chief whip gavin williamson travelled to belfast yesterday. theresa may, who fell eight seats short of a majority in thursday's election, is due to meet with her cabinet tomorrow. yesterday, her two closest advisors nick timothy and fiona hill resigned. meanwhile, foreign secretary boris johnson has dismissed reports in many of today's papers of a tory party leadership bid as "tripe", saying he was backing the prime minister "100%". these are pictures of theresa may and her husband arriving to church this morning in sonning in berkshire. the democratic unionist party says it has had "positive talks" over a possible deal to support a conservative minority government, but that no final agreement has yet been reached.

douglas ross, scottish conservative and unionist...ne of the night's more dramatic moments. significant tory gains across scotland, 12 new seats, have helped keep theresa may in downing street tonight, and they are convinced it was their promise to block another referendum that created those victories. nobody, not me, not anyone, is expecting the snp to give up on independence. that is what it believes, and it is a perfectly honourable position to take. but what people do expect is that right now the snp gives scotland a break. simply put, scotland has had its fill. scottish labour are also claiming victory of a sort. now with seven mps, up from just one, they are back from the brink of extinction, saved by a corbyn surge, despite the scottish leadership‘s opposition to him. the success of our results is a combined message of being a pro—union party, talking up the benefits of the united kingdom but also showing how we can do things differently, how to reject austerity and build a better future for the many. the lib dems got their scot

maybe they can bring in the democratic unionists, their closest soul mates in politics inside the house of commons. here they are, and the democratic unionists' ten mps would do this, giving the alliance a majority of seven. so they would be over the line and they could govern, but the conservatives would have to listen very closely to what the dup are asking for. it's untidy, it's messy and it's humiliating for theresa may. jeremy vine in the election studio. we can now hear from the voters. we have been getting reaction from some in york. it's absolutely glorious here and lots of people who are discussing the election result, i'm pleased to say over a drink as well. we have voters here who are chatting about their reaction to all of this.

the fa ct unionists and nationalist side. with sinn fein that would make power—sharing work? sinn fein that would make power-sharing work? a great question. another big issue to come out of all of this. real concerns in some quarters that theresa may's decision to try and form this deal with the dup could damage efforts to get the northern ireland assembly back up and running. you will remember power—sharing collapsed backin remember power—sharing collapsed back in march and whether those two things are compatible is a really big question. if the northern ireland secretary for example is to be seen as an independent broker in any discussions between the various parties, how will those other parties, how will those other parties beyond the dup feel if they know that the northern ireland secretary it in an arrangement with the conservative party. how can the northern ireland secretary be seen as an independent broker? sinn fein, there part, they had a strong election, the strongest showing ever. they don't take their seats in w

the headlines at eight: theresa may looks set to be backed by the democratic unionist party in a minority government as an outline agreement on a "confidence and supply" arrangement is reached. the prime minister's top aides — nick timothy and fiona hill — have resigned after the conservatives failed to win an overall majority in the general election. in the last hour, the former tory mp, gavin barwell, has been appointed to replace them as theresa may's new downing street chief of staff. they went following what the bbc understands were demands from some senior tories that mrs may would face a leadership challenge if the two had remained by her side. the other headlines... police reveal that the london bridge terror attackers tried to hire a seven and a half tonne lorry, but their credit cards were declined. petrol bombs and blow torches were found in the van they did use. police say they had pink ceramic knives tied to their wrists. a mid—atlantic yacht rescue involving the queen mary 2 cruise liner, after a "once in a lifetime" summer storm. and a scintillating finish to the world cup

it is seen as a battle between nationalists and unionists and a ca nticle nationalists and unionistsand, you have to understand just how important identity is. that is expressed in a whole range of ways like music, dancing, all kinds of culture. most people here regard themselves are coming from one of two traditions. they see themselves as either british or irish. those roots run very deep. the reality is that traditions like this they are important both politically and personally. it does indeed. being part of a band allows me to stand up for what i believe in and make sure our heritage and tradition never goes away. and heritage and tradition are important for all communities. most protestants vote for unionist candidates and catholics for irish nationalists. but that is not always the case. that does give you the idea that there are two separate communities and that is expressed in different ways. there are different sports played by different communities and there is also a lot shared across what some people see as a divide. definitely. i believe in the north of ireland that bot

the prime minister is preparing for talks with the democratic unionist party to shore up her government. the chief whip is in belfast for talks. labour urges to read to me to week —— to make way for it to form a government. the other headlines: police reveal the london bridge terror attackers a seven—and—a—half—tonne lorry but their credit cards were declined. petrol bombs and blow torches were found in the van they did use. police say they had pink ceramic knives tied to their wrists. a mid—atlantic yacht rescue involving the queen mary two cruise two cruise liner after a once—in—a—lifetime summer storm. and tonight into —— and the 2—2 draw at hampden park. good evening, and welcome to bbc news. the prime minister theresa may has appointed a new chief of staff following the resignation of her two most senior aides in the wake of thursday's general election in which the conservatives lost their overall parliamentary majority. he is gavin barwell, who lost his seat as a conservative mp in the election. the resignations of nick timothy and fiona hill followed what the bbc understands was

what can you tell us about the unionist party in northern ireland? >> well, the democratic unityio party won a lot of seats. the main protestant party that won ten seats and has done some kind of deal with the conservatives. it's not clear what they deal is. it sounds like an agreement to support the conservatives on votes of confidence so that a minority torrey government can stay in tower but -- in power but we don't know what the price has been for that party. teresa may will have trouble. she went to the polls to get increased authority and mandates and lost authority and lost a mandate. so, as confident as she sounds now, that losting out the next five years, it's not at all clear that that's actually going to happen. >> where did that leave her, her position as the leader of the conservative party and -- conversely jeremy corbyn, the head of the labor party? >> well, it leaves her where she was, prime minister, the head of a government. but a minority government that will be shaky because it will depend on the support of an ally party but a par

the democratic unionist party is not only negotiating with theresa may.talks on restoring power—sharing in northern ireland. tensions at stormont mean there's been no first minister or deputy first minister since january. but sinn fein — the other party in the power sharing talks — say theresa may's government can no longer be seen as an honest broker because it is now dependent on the dup for its commons majority. our ireland correspondent chris buckler has the latest on those stormont talks. north antrim is a dup heartland, where many voters choose the party at least partly because of their religion. high among the concerns of the democratic unionists and their electorate is protecting the union of the united kingdom. and now they find themselves in a position not just to help provide some stability, but also to influence government in the uk. the prospect of a deal between the dup and the conservatives is a deep concern for sinn fein, particularly as theresa may's government is also supposed to be acting as an honest broker. in talks to try to restore

this campaign is about getting out the vote on the unionist and nationalist sides.s ago. let's pick up the point of brexit. some argue it could have a bigger impact here than any pa rt have a bigger impact here than any part of the uk, which is practical but also comes to the idea that potentially you could have a referendum on united ireland at some stage. it has to be said that as far—off at this stage, the government have ruled it out, the secretary of state said there was no prospect of that and we were not close to the conditions. sinn fein are pushing it hard, though. and brexit has reinvigorated nationalism and givena brexit has reinvigorated nationalism and given a sense there is something to fight for. over the last ten years the support for a united ireland and polls fell to record lows with unionists at record highs and suddenly unionists in northern ireland and scotland look more precarious in their position. you mentioned there is no devolved government in northern ireland at the moment. but it's a big issue. stormont is currently sitting there pretty m

so, this is going to bea and unionists. a tricky thing for theresa may to get done, and the pressure is on, not just get done, and the pressure is on, notjust in terms of the timing, to get it done before next week, but also to keep all sides happy. it's been revealed that one of the london bridge killers tried to hire a seven—and—a—half—tonne truck on the morning of the attack. police say khuram butt‘s payment failed to go through, so he hired a white van from b80 that was eventually used instead. two more people have been arrested in connection with the attack. a total of eight people are now in custody. here's our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford. this was the weapon found still strapped last saturday night to the body of khuram butt. he and his fellow attackers used three identical ceramic knives to murder five people. counter—terrorism detectives want help, to find out where these knives were bought. the men had already killed three other people on london bridge with a van hired from b&q. throughout the carna

maybe they can bring in the democratic unionist party. inside the house of commons. here they are and the democratic unionists would do this. give them a majority of seven so over the line. they can govern but the conservatives will have to listen to what the dup are asking for. it is untidy, it is messy and humiliating for theresa may. jeremy vine, thank you. having called the general election to increase her majority and strenghen her position, theresa may lost 12 seats and with it her parliamentary majority. it wasn't all bad news as the scottish conservatives under leader ruth davidson made historic gains in scotland, where they won a dozen seats. the party's share of the vote also improved across most of the rest of the uk, but fell back in parts of the south east and london. our political correspondent ben wright looks at where the campaign went wrong leading to the conservative shock result. at cou nts at counts across the country, conservatives dreams crumbled. tory ministers lost seats, including ben gummer in ipswich who helped

the defence secretary says a conservative deal with the democratic unionist party would only apply to "big issues" it falls on us now to build a government in a national interest and that is what we are working with with our friends in the and that is what we are working with with ourfriends in the dup and that is what we are working with with our friends in the dup to do. dup leader, arlene foster is expected in london on tuesday, she says nothing is finalised but there had been some good discussions on reaching a deal. one that would bring stability to the nation, and those discussions continue. we have made good progress but that discussions continue. amid the confusion over attempts to secure a majority, there is now open speculation over the prime minister's future. theresa may is 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 leader, jeremy corbyn, says there could be another election soon and he is preparing an alternative que

after more than two weeks of talks, the conservatives and the democratic unionist party have agreed a may‘s minority government in parliament, in what‘s described as a ‘confidence and supply‘ arrangement. there will be £1 billion extra for health, education and infrastructure in northern ireland. the tories have also agreed to keep the triple lock on pensions, and universal winter fuel payments for pensioners. 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports. why has it taken so long? theresa may had wanted to seal a deal with the dup soon after the election, but it‘s taken two and a half weeks. so it was with relief that she came out to greet her new allies and potential political saviours in downing street. the dup leader, arlene foster, admitted progress had been slow, but her claim to be at the heart of uk politics seemed to be borne out by the signing of a formal agreement with the government. today we have an agreement with the conservative party on support for government in parliament. and she swiftly announced which parts of the conservative manifesto she‘d succeeded in vetoing

in scotland, it is this constant narrative of snp versus unionists.es labour is against the snp. not everybody who votes s n p against the snp. not everybody who votes sn p wa nts against the snp. not everybody who votes snp wants independence now, andi votes snp wants independence now, and i think it is about realising that independence was not the be all and end all issue of this election. nicola sturgeon says she is going to pause, reflect and think of the best way forward for all of scotland's voters — what would you like to hear? i'm not a fan of brexit. i think people's concerns that led to the vote, i understand, although i think it is a misinformed opinion, though i understand where it comes from. i wish that politicians would do less dogma and more serious conversations, to be honest. as andrew said, why does it have to be all one thing or all another? i am worried about the nhs and the educational standards in scotland. asl educational standards in scotland. as i say, i am not in favour of brexit, so i worry about how hard we go out, because

i was thinking of the unionist mps backin was thinking of the unionist mps back in the 70s who are persuadedt or at least not bring it down over deals like the electricity interconnected and a switch was to run in the north sea and people said it was outrageous but it happened. in the end the king a better political moment and they said actually we cannot keep this government in office. do you think we may yet see a point where the dup does not feel it can carry on supporting the conservatives? what's the dup has done in this process has been careful not to get into the position of the liberal democrats, not to be in the possession of some of the smaller parties in the irish parliament where they are punished for what had been seen as the sins of the wider party, that the bear the brunt of the item closes for that. this is a situation slightly changed by the fixed empowerment act, it means that while the dup continues to support the government in votes of confidence and the budget and queen's speech there is little chance of this government falling, but you could have the acutely embarrassin

her party will work with northern ireland's democratic unionists who won ten seats. she's said she'll keep her most senior ministers. in contrast, the opposition labour party celebrated unexpected gains across the country. their leaderjeremy corbyn said people, young and old, had voted for change and for hope. mrs may said crucial talks on britain leaving the european union would begin as planned in ten days‘ time. but she'll enter brexit negotiations in a much weaker position. president trump has said he is willing to testify under oath about his talks with the sacked former fbi director, james comey. mr trump rejected the allegation that he had urged mr comey to drop an investigation into his presidential campaign's links with russia. more now on the surprise result of britain's election today and when the prime minister called the election she had a majority. but she wanted to increase it saying the uk needed strong and stable leadership heading into the brexit negotiations. she took a risk and just seven weeks ago, it seemed almost certain to pay off. but how dif

we are seeing scottish candidates standing as unionists, welsh candidates standing as unionists.ere is a change, there is a revitalisation in what is the united kingdom at this minute in time because of brexit and how it's going to redefine itself and where we are going to position our self. we are going to move on to our second question, from john, a business development manager. who isn't complicit in terrorism, how do we address the causes of terrorism? 0k. this is referring, of course, not least to the events of the terrible events of the last few months, two attacks in london and one in manchester two weeks ago. naomi long, do you feel complicit in terrorism in some way, in any way? no, i don't. and i think that it's unfair to suggest that when people take decisions to inflict violence on other people that in some way you can blame circumstance for that. i think that's a very different conversation to the one which looks at, for example, how people are radicalised and how we intervene to prevent that happening. ultimately, i believe in personal responsibility. there will be

the conservatives in this position, whether forming an alliance with democratic unionists. they are very hard right party in northern ireland. rumored to have links to loyalist paramilitary groups. this is some thing that is widely reported preeminent the controversial aspects of this is clearly this kind of alliance, which some might say is a labor grubby deal. >> many licking their real -- licking their wounds. clearly many satisfied with this outcome. >> many in the labour party actually thought that jeremy corbyn, when he was elected leader was a big mistake, it would be a huge liability. it looked this way. discourse totally fixed upon the public expect -- public aspect. those kindsation, of matters, promising to help students. bymising to have families giving them more benefits and opportunities. the conservative said it wasn't and this was a moot point. that's one of the factors that seems to have swayed things toward labor. the conservatives, the largest party in this election. labor outperforming what people ., exceeding all expectation. jeremy corbyn sitting on a

they were all unionists. fromd seen violence unionists as a young man. certainly that continued through his life, losing his brother, losing family members, yet his older brother was kind of forgiven and pardons. he wasn't and did not have the same benefits because he was younger and more refined as far as his brother's influence on his education and the way he would spout off shakespeare as he was robbing people. his attitudes were very different. youthfulif his exuberance led him to be more violent? mr. stiles: or murderess. this is an interesting point. frank james was in fact someone who loved shakespeare. a train at ghazal which is where falstaff robbed -- he quoted shakespeare as they went through -- they knew theater. also on the first train robbery in 1873, they wore masks that described city times -- they weren reaching a climax in kentucky where they had close ties. there were trials going on. they carried out this train robbery. there were these masks. so, the feeder was part of those robberies. that's a little divergent. yes, frank was someon

number 10's hoped—for deal with the northern irish unionists kept downing street waiting.s involved in a stealthy power play. the dup, natural allies with the tories, seemed to be enjoying their big doorstep moment. reporter: are you ready to drive a hard bargain mrs foster? arriving for talks, willing in principle, would they sign on the dotted line? but time passed, and more time passed. the dup chose the back door to leave. after nearly two hours of talks, it's the prime minister who's first to emerge. there's no sign of the dup. i've been told the is have been dotted and the t's have been crossed but there is no sign of a final deal. they're not exactly wearing their influence lightly. you can't blame this small party for seeming cock—a—hoop at their newly—public power, even though their involvement in government is anathema to some. i was on the right on saturday. we need some more people over to the right. i think there's been a lot of commentary around the issues that we're talking about and it won't surprise anyone that we're talking about matters that pertain, of
