unquestionably the dominant force in the labour party without any threat to his position, that vince cable next liberal democrat leader, and that the tories would be fighting like ferrets in a sack with the prime minister clearly on her last legs — nobody would have believed it. and yet you've got this ludicrous concept of the young turks now trying to fight for prominence within the conservative. you've got all these people — a year ago, stephen crabb was standing for prime minister. goodness me, how could we forget? he is only in his 40s. he is passe already! that's why we love politics and working on stories like this, isn't it? it's that it happens so quickly. it is the speed, that's it. i always love the next prime minister label. speaking of politicians who risen from, well, difficult times, ministers want spreadsheet phil as next prime minister! the chancellor, in case you didn't know. clearly there is a rift inside the conservative to. they are all united in not wanting to reason and that she is toxic, and her brand is irredeemably damaged —— do not want theresa may to stay. of cou

and we'll be speaking to sir vince cable at four o'clock this afternoon here on the news channel. office has charges charge for banking executives with fraud after the 2008 crash. the end of an era for british banking, some of the biggest names go cap in hand to the government. the financial crisis, banks in danger of failing, lloyds and rbs had to be bailed out. but barclays bank got billions of pounds of help from oil—rich gulf states, including qatar. now the charge is over how that was done. i am going to ask you one more time, move, please! the chief executive at the time, john varley, becomes the first head of a bank to face criminal charges from the crisis. if the allegations were to be proved, my sense is this would result in a fine for barclays, rather than the loss of its banking licence. it would be a fine that a bank of this size could comfortably handle. the individuals themselves, the fact of being charged itself must be a hammer blow. the five year investiagtion related to two bouts of fundraising in 2008 which raised £12 billion, mostly by selling new ba rclay‘s sh

we may end up with vince cable again.at is her point of authority and strength. but i think astonishing as it may feel not even a year on, we have moved on, most people accepted our exit from the eu as a reality and now its just a question of who does it best and how do we negotiate and on what terms do we leave. and in a word, your prediction? tory majority of about 60. i've put in a prediction of 66. you must have been talking to each other. 60 and 66. it would surprise me if it was lower. it wasn't surprise me if it was nearer 100. you're keeping your options open. thank you. well, that‘s it from the election wrap. but before we go, we wanted to leave you with the thoughts of simon brown. simon was shot while serving in iraq in 2006. he saved the lives of six of his colleagues and has these thoughts for you ahead of polling day tomorrow. hi there, my name is simon brown and i am a former soldier in the british army. i was fortunate to survive the incident on the battlefield. i woke up in birmingham after 18 days in a c

the former business secretary of the liberal democrats, vince cable has won his constituency. et to the price action. we have been looking at sterling and how it has been performing against the dollar. looking at a traditional cable. let's look at sterling against the yen. we have this move below this 200 moving day average against the yen. the pound edging lower, sterling as much as 2.1% at one stage, 139.6. shouting distance of that 200 138.92.ay average, a basket of currencies. just taking a quick reminder of what we are seeing in terms of the bid on cable, it has been going back-and-forth. iny have been taking it stride. largely, the market reaction has been contained when it comes to sterling. you can see this back-and-forth, the struggle we had seen as the polls come through. both of the bbc and others projecting for conservatives. if you look at other risk assets, the kiwi, the aussie, good gauges of sentiment for risks. the yen looking stable, japanese equities consolidating gains. safe havens like gold going lower. islingtontraight to north and here we go. angus, liber

what the lib dems saw the return of former mr like vince cable, the pa rty‘s old former mr like vincef the night losing his sheffield seat. i have encountered this evening something that many people have encountered before tonight and i suspect many people will encounter after tonight which is in politics, you live by the sword and you die by the sword. after the best ever witnessed the election result with ten of northern ireland's 18 seats, the democratic unionist party have said they will make their influence felt. paul not all resigned as ukip leader after the party lost its only seat and he failed to win in boston and skegness. but the only green mp and westminster increased majority and brightened a billion. —— brighton pavilion. theresa may knows she has to get on with governing. brexit talks start within days and after a result like this are long—term future is premised on will be endowed. the map will be endowed. —— will be in doubt. the premise that committee, she said she was going to stay on and said the country needs certainty and she was going to provide it. can she surv

vince cable believes both labour and the tories have turned their backs on business and warns trade couldiness and warns trade could drop by a third following britain's to force from the eu. the met police say they have so far found no records of any calls to the anti—terrorist hotline in relation to the manchester bomber, despite a number of people saying they had reported concerns over salman abedi's behaviour. it comes as greater manchester police have released new cctv footage, showing abedi in the city in the four days leading up to the attack. detectives say they're now concentrating their investigation on the rusholme area and are appealing for witnesses who may have seen him there. more than 30 people are reported to have died at a casino in the philippines, where a gunman opened fire before killing himself. the attacker also set fire to gaming tables. authorities say most of the people who lost their lives died of suffocation. police had feared the attack was terrorist related, but now suggest the motive was robbery. the number of patients waiting from more than six months for ro

we have vince cable, sir vince cable, who is a liberal democrat.rsday night. they all count! wow. wracking and you are calling for a pause in brexit negotiations? well, i don't think anybody can pretend that the election didn't happen. we are in a changed set of circumstances. one of the mistakes that theresa may made was to try not to reach out to other parties and other points of view. defining a relationship with europe has an impact on every area and every person, and not working with devolved administrations... well, the clock is ticking? the clock was ticking when the election was called. it does look bizarrely irresponsible does it not to trigger article 50, the process of leaving the european union that two year timetable, and then call a general election? i think they are very separate. we had a referendum which had a clear decisive result. we are not tacking about the referendum? and then we triggered article 50 and there was the issue of a general election where she sought a mandate. people were saying she hadn't got her own mandate last

while the lib dems saw the return of former ministers like vince cable, the party's old leader had onehad one of the biggest upsets of the night, losing his chef eeled seat. i have encountered this evening, something that many people have encountered tonight and suspect that many will encounter after, which is in paralympics, youly by the sword, die by the sword. northern ireland, the dup winning ten seats, the democratic unionist party said that they will make their influence felt. paul nuttall resigned as the ukip leader after liaising his only seat and failing to win in boston and skegness. but the greens mp, caroline lucas increased her majority in brighton pavilion. while others celebrate, she knows she must get on with governing. brexit talks start in days. after a result like this, theresa may's long—term future as the prime minister will be in doubt. theresa may walked back inside downing street a short time ago, there was loud applause from the downing street staff gathered inside. norman smith is with me now. she says she will tuberculosis. to deliver brexit. can she survive

to declare their intention to become leader of the party is the former business secretary said vince cabley brexit deal. he explained his reasons were standing earlier this afternoon. no, i'm going into it because i think i have the experience, energy and enthusiasm to take the party through a very difficult period. we may have an election quite soon. we have got the brexit negotiations. after that we can make decisions about whether the younger generation take over i continue to fight. i have cited a variety of proceedings of people who were older than me who became prime minister. you know, gladstone was one, churchill was another. we have got to keep those options open, but at the moment we have a very challenging period ahead, we need strong leadership and i would aim to provide that. we are currently on course for the longestjune heatwave in 20 years — with tomorrow predicted to be the hottestjune day since 1976. for some this may be good news — but for others there are warnings about the temperatures which have reached over 30 degrees celsius. the met office has issued a health warni

people like vince cable, back in parliament. people likejo swinson and ed davey. a look at the weather. with high pressure for england and wales, you can see this is where there has been most of the sunshine. low pressure close by, scotland and northern ireland. cloudy here, still some sunny spells. despite the cloud, most places have a dry day. overnight, outbreaks of rain pushing back into northern ireland. but especially west of scotland, heavy bursts later in the night. clear spells elsewhere, quite a muggy night, where temperatures reached the mid—20s. a lot of cloud in the west tomorrow to begin with. this weakening weather system pushes east during the day. just a few showers. introducing behind it slightly cooler but fresher feeling hair. this is the picture at 4pm. temperatures down just a few degrees, compared with today. still some sunshine. patchy cloud working through. mostly dry. a breezy day and fresher feeling during the afternoon. the odd shower popping up in northern england, more especially for northern ireland and into scotland. not everybody w

the first candidate to stand to become the party leader is vince cable.ng his candidacy he said he would work to secure a second referendum on any brexit deal and he has been explaining why he wants to be the lib leader. the central railway station in brussels has been evacuated after a small explosion. police say the situation is under control. the chancellor says jobs and prosperity must come first in any brexit deal. phillip hammond says while the public voted to leave the eu, they didn't vote to become poorer. the democratic unionist party says talks with the conservatives are not proceeding as planned, and that the dup shouldn't be taken for granted. an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. let us bring you the latest on the situation in brussels. belgian troops are patrolling brussels central station and said they neutralised one person after a small explosion this evening. this is according to a police spokesman. he said

hasr: yeah, vince cable been in coalition with the conservatives before and had a fairly good run onsonal level by being business secretary. guy: what is the price they would ask? peter: clearly, they would ask put ont the lib dems their manifesto, which is for a referendum on brexit. that was number one on the referendum, so that has to be what they stand for. and then the conservatives in this coalition, with the lib dems, if it were to happen, could pursue a pragmatic brexit. the electorate will answer the question at the end of all of this. guy: the market seems to be pretty negative on the pound right now and that is my basic barometer for how the market field about what we are looking at. matt: you mean if brexit were softer, the pound would go up? peter: yes. guy: the pound is down. we are continuing to move softer. peter: the point you have got to get through, the inflection point for sterling would be first you have to have the conservative government failing. so we would be tending negatively as the conservative government moves towards failing that then you have the uncert

while the lib dems are celebrated the return of former ministers like sir vince cable, the party's olde of the biggest upsets of the night, losing his sheffield seat. had one of the biggest upsets of the night, losing his sheffield seatlj come of course, have encountered this evening something that many people have encountered before tonight and i suspect many people will encounter after tonight, which is that in politics you live by the sword and you die by the sword. the snp last big names on a very bad night. their deputy leader, angus robertson, ousted by the conservatives, and their former leader, alex salmond, has lost his seat, too. a few counts are still to comment but the result is clear. there is to be a hung parliament. it is not going to be a majority government of any colour. now some are questioning whether mrs may can continue. i think she is in a very difficult place. she is a remarkable and very talented women and she does not shy from difficult decisions but she now has two obviously consider the position. are you stepping down, mrs may? sources say she has no intenti

about your party, some have ruled themselves out, sir vince cable looks to be your next leader, are youhave huge respect for him. i think our party is fortunate to have such a wide range of experience among the elected mps, and indeed in the house of lords as well. there's still some way to go on the leadership election, nominations don't close untiljuly 20 no announcements yet of who the leader will be but you know, i think we've got such a strong team in westminster, and this is the time that the country needs that strong liberal voice that will stand up to the government on brexit plans. i hope the labour party will join us in voting to support the single market although i fear they won't. good to talk to you, thank you for your time. police investigating the grenfell tower have put statement in the last hour saying they believe 80 people at least died in the tragedy are missing confirmed dead. they say it will take until the end of the get at least to give a final tally of the number of dead. the metropolitan police's detective superintendent fiona mccormac has spoken. the statement

let‘s over to westminster now to speak to liberal democrat sir vince cable, formerly the business secretarythe coalition government. good of you to join us, what are your thoughts as the negotiations start? these are just preliminary courtesies, michel barnier, who i dealt with quite a bit in government, is extremely courteous, very civilised, highly intelligent, and he is not going to behave in the rather crude way that people like jean—claude juncker have behaved. nonetheless, we have got some very big, complex decisions ahead, and actually very little time. i think what will confuse and irritated, i think, the people on the european side is that the british government‘s view appears to be rapidly changing and very confusing. we have senior members of the government, notably the chancellor, making clear they do not buy into the narrative that no deal is better than a poor deal. we have got a lot of confusion as to the time period within which these extremely difficult talks on new trade arrangements are going to be discussed. so, you know, it is perfectly friendly and amicable, but it is

elsewhere the lib dems made gains, former minsters vince cable and jo swinson have both taken back thetim farron held onto his seat of westmorland and lonsdale. the scottish national party has endured a series of shock defeats, including the loss of its former first minister alex salmond and deputy leader, angus robertson. they both lost their seats amid a scottish conservative surge. the party's best performance in scotland since 1983. first minister, nicola sturgeon, said that the losses were a blow to her and the snp indicating she had some reflecting to do on key issues including independence. in northern ireland both the sdlp and the ulster unionist party lost their seats. it was a successful night for the largest parties. the democratic unionist party won 10 seats and sinn fein won seven seats but will continue to abstain from sitting in parliament. the result could see the dup play a key role in any potential coalition negotiations with the conservative party. in wales, the labour party had a strong night taking back a number of seats from the conservatives. the results represen

vince cable, probably the next lib dem leader, says this is down to brexit, it is starting to bite.the financial crisis. they only got below 5% last summer after the referendum, so that would back his argument. now they are down to just over 1%. his argument. now they are down to just over1%. simon, thank his argument. now they are down to just over 1%. simon, thank you very much. germany has joined most other european countries in legalising same—sex marriage. parliament passed the measure by a majority of 393 votes, to 226. it happened after the german chancellor angela merkel changed her position to allow a free vote on the issue — though she herself voted against. translation: for me, marriage in the basic law is marriage between a man and a woman, and that is why i voted against the bill today. it's true what was said in today's debate. it was a long, intense debate, and for many, an emotionally moving discussion. this also goes for me personally. that's why i hope the vote today not only promotes respect between different opinions, but also brings more social cohesion and peac

ed davey and vince cable came back in kingston and twickenham.xt couple of hours and hopefully there will be a result. many thanks, tim donovan there in kensington. theresa may has said she believes the conservatives are the party to lead britain into the brexit negotiations, despite losses in the general election.0ur correspondent fiona trott has been to stockton—on—tees, in country durham, to gauge reaction. theresa may, i think she's just a fool. i mean, she went into the election trying to endorse her policies, and it's just, unravelled. i think she won't be there long. about europe, what are you worried about? when you have a democratic vote from the people, that mandate should be carried on regardless of what your position is as a politician. they're there to serve. they serve the mandate. in the mandate was leave. are you worried that this brexit isn't going to happen? yes, lam. i'm worried that we're just going to open our gates to everybody. obviously, it's two weeks until they start discussions for leaving brexit, which is a bit scary.
