there is a big opportunity here for theresa may. if she embraces this and shows in the next interview that she does how she felt, what did she feel when she was standing there and this quite so bright guy approached her? did she think it was a terrorist? she didn't flinch and she kept going. you can learn a lot about a politician when they face adversity. when i say adversity, you don't compare that with the way that people have to live in some communities in this country. but we did learn something about her today, and it wasn't entirely negative. i completely agree. she was calm under fire. all of these things happening to her. she finished that speech. i thought in the middle of it that when she was praising entrepreneurs and talking about wealth creators and how we value them, at that point when she began to cough, she could have stopped. because it is a natural break in the speech. i thought she might stop there. i thought she was incredibly brave to go on. i know somebody who has seen her in operation in cobra, she is the sort

laughter the antics of borisjohnson, theresa may's p a5, the antics of borisjohnson, theresa may's p as, the leadership contest of the conservatives, things have gone from the ridiculous to the bizarre. there is chaos on the left and right. through all the snp government stands firm, a beacon of progressive, effective government delivering for all of the people of scotland. well the scottish first minister and leader of the snp, nicola sturgeon was on the andrew marr programme this morning. she said that independence is still a target, especially in light of brexit. many people in scotland desperately want to see scotland become independent and others will never be convinced and some think dust must settle on brexit. people are a little bit scunnered by big decisions. we had two general elections and the referendum. brexit is likely to be monumental over the whole of the uk. i have a mandate to give people in scotland a choice on the issue. i listen to what people say in terms of the timing of that but let me stress that desire for decisions that shape our future being in our own han

we're live outside theresa may's showdown supper. i'm here in brussels, where theresa may is telling eu leaders she is listening to their concerns over brexit. i'll tell you how her message is going down. we'll discuss where we are with negotiations, and where we're going. and remember this? mortgage from the union? did you pay it off? yeah. did you pay off your mortgage? my workers had a financial agreement which was... go on. the mortgage was settled in 2007... it was settled, but did you pay it off? it turns out he didn't. now we learn the chair of the labour party got a lot more cash from the miners' union he used to run. and calls for fa bosses to take responsibility for latest scandal or quit theirjobs. we speak to stan collymore and others about racism and sexism in english football. good evening. they told us it would all be about tone tonight, and as theresa may finished her post—supper speech, some of those in europe started to sense there was something in the air. the pm will tell leaders this evening that firm progress

theresa may announced she has the support of 100% of the cabinet. so who is grant speaking on behalf of? some people? we understand people are bitter but the fact is he doesn't speak on behalf of any who he sees as potential candidates in the cabinet. they support theresa may, so do i, now is the time, grant, to just shut up now is the time, grant, to just shut up and get behind her! nigel evans, good to talk with you. thank you very much. a father has lost his high court case against an ivf clinic— after his ex—partner forged his signature to use frozen embryos. the man claimed that after they broke up, she tricked doctors into impregnating her with a frozen egg fertilised by his sperm — resulting in the birth of a daughter. our medical correspondent fergus walsh is at the royal courts ofjustice in central london. in this case the couple had one child through ivf. when the relationship broke up, thejudge said that the woman resorted to desperate and dishonest means to get the remaining embryos defrosted and informed her ex—partner via a tex

theresa may's leadership are disloyal and self absorbed? well, i served as john's disloyal and self absorbed? well, i served asjohn's deputy disloyal and self absorbed? well, i served as john's deputy for some yea rs. served as john's deputy for some years. they were there then and it was exactly the same. 0ne years. they were there then and it was exactly the same. one has to face up to this, in democracies, there are people with strong views and there is a certain integrity in pursuing those views. there are great historic examples of people who have fought the conventional wisdom. they are there. i do not know any way in which they can be silenced. is she the right person to lead the party at the moment in your opinion? well, i think she is not going to lead the party into the next election and my view is the next election and my view is the next election and my view is the next election is much sooner than people are anticipating, i think, two years people are anticipating, i think, two yea rs is people are anticipating, i think, two ye

more reaction to theresa may's speech yesterday. so many problems surrounding it from her point of view, the repeated coughing fit, the prankster who interrupted her with a p 45, prankster who interrupted her with a p a5, what was purporting to be a p 45. p 45, what was purporting to be a p 45. not to mention the set falling apart behind her. let's chat to conservative mp charles walker. we've heard there are mutterings on the tory backbenchers against the prime minister, are you hearing that? i've been a conservative member of parliament since 2005 and there have always been mutterings about the leader of the day or prime minister of the day. there is nothing new in that, there is always tension on the conservative backbenches. i don't read too much into it at all. what about boris johnson's position? what would you say about that? he is still being touted by some as the loosest rival touted by some as the loosest rival to the prime minister, the man who, whatever he might say in public, would like to steal her crown. lots of peopl

what does theresa may do by taking control of it herself? the split won't go away, the party won't unite. the country won't unite. it simply puts her further and deeper into difficulties. as the snp's annual conference gets under way in glasgow, nicola sturgeon says she will commit to exploring all options to secure eu citizens' status in scotland. tens of thousands of people show their support for the spanish government, with demonstrations against independence for catalonia. after leaving a trail of devastation across central america, hurricane nate moves inland in the south east of the united states. also in the next hour... the royal foundation announces a £2 million grant to help find digital solutions to mental health problems. it's the largest investment ever made by the charitable trust of the duke and duchess of cambridge and prince harry. the president of afghanistan talks about the scale of the challenges facing his country in the world's most difficultjob. that's in half an hour. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the forme

he made the wrong interpretation, or has theresa may said something that has theresa may said something that has changed the mood?” has theresa may said something that has changed the mood? i do not think that this is the best moment, the best place to discuss about rhetoric and answers. in fact, we are on the same line as michel barnier. totally. today, i feel same line as michel barnier. totally. today, ifeel this same line as michel barnier. totally. today, i feel this is over my obligation. i want to be able to be the positive motivator for the next five or six weeks, because our ambition is to achieve the final of the first phase in december. we should be more positive and you can describe the moment in negotiations with different words. what is my feeling today? also during my meeting before our session, with prime minister theresa may, i feel that for sure, both sides present only good will. this is why in my rhetoric i am maybe more optimistic than michel barnier but we have different roles, michel barnier is responsible for negotiations, i am more responsible for a good atmos

pool all that together, where does this leave theresa may? what we re does this leave theresa may? what were the mutterings, it's all in the coffees and the lunches, and the gossip in the corridors? it doesn't really change the picture, mps know that they looked for getting of someone that they looked for getting of someone for having a cold, they want rid of her that they cannot do that during brexit negotiations. pete transition —— the transition could create a sense of dread in the conservative party that the next couple of years will not be happy for them and these policy solutions will increase a sense in the labour party that the conservatives will not make changes they need to do to defeat them properly next time. the where —— the wear and tear on a government remains to be seen that thatis government remains to be seen that that is where we are now. food for thought, thank you to both of you for your time this evening. the spanish government had not accepted it. let's get the latest on this story from our correspondent, gavin lee, you are in barcelona for us. gavin

it shook theresa may. after that, there weather problems with her voice, struggling to get through all of that. we have had a statement from borisjohnson saying afterwards that the prime minister had delivered a brilliant speech, adding she had a cold but did a fantastic job of getting over a crucial message. and we have also had a tweet from the prime minister. i don't know if you can see it, hopefully you can. the prime minister tweeting a picture of the prime ministerial red box with her papers in, surrounded by a number of cough remedies of which we have all been using because as ever, the conference cold has been going around. people are saying it is make or break, it's an important moment for her going into this conference, ina for her going into this conference, in a pretty weak position. who knows whether it is just sympathy that may be what reigns today. let's talk to lucy fisher from the times. it was ha rd to lucy fisher from the times. it was hard to watch, whatever your political beliefs, not

worried for theresa may. worried that the brexit and negotiations could com pletely brexit and negotiations could completely fall apart, and we would really be faced with a no deal, if theresa may would be ousted as leader, and replaced with someone such as borisjohnson. that is what we have sort of written in the telegraph, as the main driving factor, main driving force of this slight shift in tone, and this new approach which is meant to be, we will start discussing trade, we need more clarity or the brexit ‘s divorce bill, but they are strained to say, give us a bit here, we're giving you some, will be bizarre back, let's keep borrowers out of downing street. why would they be so televised of boris becoming prime minister? i didn't think the bin strong stable far. recent polls have shown that people on sides of the debate, their stances are sort of hardening. there is a port of peoples whose aborted leave and remain, that nothing is really happening. but i think to make some progress, the minister be see

can theresa may persuade the eu to persuade brexit trade talks? chinese state media says the everyday on outside source we have bbc journalists working everyday on outside source we have bbcjournalists working in over 30 bandages. —— languages. welcome to outside source. we can go direct to brussels, where eu leaders are meeting for a european council summit, and our report is monitoring events. yes, outside source has been to brussels a lot since the brexit wrote and we are back again for a two—day european council summit —— vote. at the moment, everyone is having dinner, towards the end theresa may will be addressing eve ryo ne theresa may will be addressing everyone else and giving her analysis of the state of the brexit talks. such is the way the eu approaches these matters, none of the leaders will respond to what she says, because the eu insists brexit we're only happens within brexit negotiations. but all of those leaders have been commenting on these talks and discussions with each other and in interviews with journalists as well

theresa may does not go home empty—handed. she can claim progress of a sort, but this fraught process has gone a couple of inches, and it's a journey of many, many miles. those 27 will decide their next moves without britain even in the room, while at home the prime minister must calculate how much she can compromise to conclude the whole deal against the clock before we are out for good. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. so was this summit a success for theresa may or not? our europe editor katya adler is there. she gave us her view. i'd say in terms of content absolutely nothing changed in terms of brexit, we heard from laura there, eu leaders still insist that more progress has to be made on the divorce issues, notably money, before they will entertain the idea of talking about trade and transition deals, which is what the prime minister wanted. so much for content. in terms of tone, though, and style, she's right, things did change here and she actually had a pretty good summit. here she was surrounded by all the other

it will not ta ke theresa may called it. it will not take much for those few frustrated mps who would like her to stand aside sooner rather than later, for their frustrations to flare up once again. thank you. we're going to talk to nigel evans in top minutes. police investigating the las vegas shooting say they have yet to establish the motive of the gunman, stephen paddock. he killed 58 people at a country music festival in the city last sunday. the police say they have examined more than 1,000 leads since then but still don't have any clear explanation for his actions. luxmy gopal reports. six days on from stephen paddock killing 58 people and injuring hundreds at a music festival in las vegas, and police still don't know why he did it. the 64—year—old opened fire from his hotel room before turning the gun on himself. at a press briefing, the las vegas metropolitan police department said they've gone through more than a thousand leads in the investigation. we have looked at everything, literally, to include the suspec

theresa may's leadership, there are so many questions over it now. to fight them off she has to show results over brexit. to get results she has to have strong leadership. to have strong leadership she needs results from brexit. that brings us nicely onto your paper. the daily telegraph, sack boris and he will refuse to go, boris —— theresa may is one. can you refuse to go? it is more she said to him, you are going to be minister for paperclips. he could say, you need me front—line selling brexit to the british people, this isjust humiliation. it is striking because one i was at the conservative party conference, many people were saying that if you just sack him, it would be easy. this is the curse of being a front runner. people will say if you sack him he will go away. no. basically the report chronicles that if anything the civil war gets worse in the party because brexiteers will say, can we have philip hammond's head on a platter to ensure it is not a remain coup? the balance needs to be kept. when theresa may's cabinet was put together la

give me a deal to defend, telegraph, give me a deal to defend, theresa may implores the eu. getting there but not quite, seems to be the message from the eu 27. they want an invoice, some sort of document said exactly what they think we should pay back the price goes up and up, one said 20 million is peanuts, and that has been counteracted by brexit is in parliament who have said that if it is subject to a vote at the end of the process and we are being charged money for access to the single market and customs union, they won't vote for it. it's all down to money and the divorce bill and so farwe down to money and the divorce bill and so far we don't have any figures. what is going to happen to eu citizens and our citizens? also a sticking point. that is probably the easiest one for them to resolve, and theresa may has given some warm words on that this evening, but we are still getting this coming in because she is speaking at the end of the dinner. some of this is... the advanced text of what she was going to say, but what she says in the telegraph, the idea, give me a dea

but today theresa may's mainjob was to themselves. but today theresa may's main job was to look as if she is in charge, to look like she means business. in brussels, another round of those vital talks begin. since she last went to the house of commons she survived an attempt to force arrived, lost boys in front of the nation, and if that's not all, ministers‘ antics the nation, and if that‘s not all, ministers‘ antics have been fodder for the pages. but the biggerjob in hand is to get the date —— brexit talks moving. statement, the prime minister. theresa may trying, hoping to ignore the pressure on her. but first, two tory nods, she said no deal might be an option. wile i believe it is profoundly in our interests for the negotiations to succeed, it is also our responsibility as a the government —— government to prepare for every eventuality. that is exactly what we are doing. corruption to dismiss the enemies, notjust with a shake of the head—butted determination to screw down on the other side. as we look forward, th

we want to present that it theresa may privately. i think it has been done more publicly, i am afraid. you are presenting yourself as an honest broker. i am looking at your recent comments in his paper articles. you talked about boris johnson. he has set out his swashbuckling vision at the same time you suggested the fragility of theresa may was a problem. do you have a favoured candidate? that was an article over the weekend supportive of theresa may saying that we need a great visionary... that has changed? ijust talked about boris johnson to that has changed? ijust talked about borisjohnson to get a comparison about what she said she would do at the conference. just... this is what the question goes to. i can absolutely assure you this is not a cover for borisjohnson. can absolutely assure you this is not a coverfor borisjohnson. i have not spoken to him at all about this. i want to see a leadership election, but i don't know who i would support. i want the best people with the best ideas. i am being party chairman. i know these d

overtime mps gather here again next week, theresa may's tea m here again next week, theresa may's team feel they are sure to have seen of this assault, at least for now. but privately among tory mps there is not much debate about whether she will be driven out of office, but when. few truly believe she can fight on through another election and just now she is looking so weakened that even lasting three to brexit, less than 18 months away, looks like a tall order. that accident prone speech was tough to watch, even for ministers who are thought to fancy her job. watch, even for ministers who are thought to fancy herjob. she tried to revive her premiership and ?* 722; as; liz—f 57275275: 5. 27.7. ?* 722; as; liz—f 57277777: 5. 27.7 her ambitious colleagues, i is avoid itious colleagues, i is avoid thinking lleagues, i is avoid thinking be|gues, i is avoid thinking be gin—es", 3 what to avoid thinking be careful what you wish for. how unpopular has grant shapps made himself? certainly he is not very popular with many of his colleagues at the moment. there is a conservative whatsapp

we have theresa may. we have somebody we endorse as the person who has won over 13.5 million votes at the last general election. just get behind her. quite flankly, the time has come to shut up. is that the problem, he has no idea who should be there instead? there is no natural? is that the problem? no it is not. theresa may announced she has the support 100% of the cabinet. soh is grant speaking on behalf of? some people? we is have heard of five former cabinet ministers being sacked. there are people that are bitter but he does not speak on behalf of any who he sees as potential candidates in the cabinet. they support theresa may, so doi, cabinet. they support theresa may, so do i, now is the time for grant to shut up and get behind her. in many instances i don't want to touch my child but i love my child. that then fills me conversely with this deep profound levels of guilt asi this deep profound levels of guilt as i can't reconcile the fact that i don't want the child. the child is not responsible fo

number 10 scoffs at any suggestion theresa may might quit. so for now the embattled prime minister fights on. ben wright, bbc news, downing street. the national rifle association which campaigns for gun rights in the us says it might be willing to consider some form of gun—control in the wake of the mass shooting in las vegas at the weekend. that view is backed by some senior republicans, including the speaker of the house of representatives. the golden glass was shattered by a man intent on mayhem. why, police still don't know. they say there is evidence stephen paddock had planned to survive the attack, and that he may have had help. we know stephen paddock is a man who spent decades acquiring weapons and ammo and living a secret life, much of which will never be fully understood. so far, there has been a lot of attention paid to the actions of the man who was in that building and what he did, firing down on this concert below. but what many people who were at that gig have told us is that they think the focus should be on the response an

how do you assess the outlook for mrs may? it seems theresa may isn't finished yet. on she goes, driven by her own sense of duty and with the cold comfort of knowing that many of her colleagues think it would be madness to have a leadership contest with brexit at such a delegate stage. 0thers simply dislike the idea of splitting the party at a time like this. they dislike it more than carrying on with a wounded leader. another prime minister, yea rs leader. another prime minister, years ago, harold wilson, famously said, "i know what's going on, i'm going on." that's theresa may's message now, but business as usual looks tough. next week the government is going to be publishing legislation to cap energy bills. labour is enjoying itself saying — we had that idea first, are you just playing copy—cat. she will report on brexit. brussels are already saying they want much more detail on the terms of divorce before they even discuss the future. time is pressing for brexit and recovering against labour and for mrs may. she looks more and more like a leader on borrowed t

throughout her speech theresa may was forced to pause — due to a sore throat. she clears throat so... excuse me. we will never hesitate to act where businesses are not operating as they should, that this party celebrate the wealth creators, the risk—takers, the innovators and entrepreneurs. applause she clears throat cheering and applause thank you. she clears throat applause i hope you noticed that, the chancellor giving something away free. the prime minister apologised for the pa rty‘s performance in the general election — saying the conservatives had not got the victory they wanted. 0ur our national campaign fell short. it was too scripted, to presidential, and it allowed the labour party to paint us as the boys of continuity when the public wanted to hear a message of change. —— the voice of continuity. i take responsibility. message of change. —— the voice of continuity. itake responsibility. i led the campaign and i am sorry. theresa may also pledged to take on the problem of lack of affordable housing and reigniting the british dream of ho

three members of the cabinet want theresa may out a christmas, others wa nt theresa may out a christmas, others want her out within two years. half the cabinet to go anyway. her husband says he is concerned about her welfare, and she has threatened borisjohnson her welfare, and she has threatened boris johnson with her welfare, and she has threatened borisjohnson with the motion unless he pipes down. she says she is getting on with the job. she he pipes down. she says she is getting on with thejob. she is not entirely getting on with the job. she does admit she had an uncomfortable time. uncomfortable is the understatement of the day. it has been an unmitigated debacle. the week from hell for any prime minister. i can't think of anything as bad as this since probably black wednesday, when the sirjohn major government basically began a five—year had long cascade to oblivion, which came in 1997. this has happened just in a very short period of time. it is about the same point in the year, four months after the election, as the major debacle in 1992. there are interesting quotes in the i

this all puts theresa may in a bind. her pact with the dup keeps her in power and the bombardier factory is dup heartland. aerospace and aviation have been at the forefront of globalisation. we have no tariffs on products anywhere in the world. we have an international regulatory regime which has worked extremely well. these type of measures threaten competition and innovation and that is bad news for consumers wherever they are. but she also knows that boeing employs nearly 19,000 elsewhere in the uk and is building a factory in sheffield. these 300% tariffs are recommendations by one branch of the us government. if there is no solution, though, they will come into force in february. in that time, the nails of thousands of workers here and trade negotiators on both sides of the atlantic will be bitten down to the quick. gavin robinson is an mp from the democratic unionist party, which is supporting theresa may's government. he says he will try to discuss the issue with fellow mps because the government needs to take mor

what does theresa may do by taking control of it herself? the split will not go away, the party will not unite, the country will not unite, it simply puts her further and deeper country will not unite, it simply puts herfurther and deeper into country will not unite, it simply puts her further and deeper into the difficulties. returning to my question, do you think she sack borisjohnson? question, do you think she sack boris johnson? i think she should have a reshuffle, but a reshuffle tends to create more enemies than it creates friends. people who get promoted quite pleased. but the people who are sacked are very displeased and a significant number of people who think they should have been promoted and were not, they are also displeased. reshuffle is not the panacea that it is easily thought to be. keeping close, not foreign secretary, if i am to interpret your words correctly?” think it would be... look, if you put borisjohnson think it would be... look, if you put boris johnson on think it would be... look, if you put borisjohnson on t

in fact, he is theresa may. with permission i would like to make a statement on last week's european council. long after we left the european union, the uk will continue to be strong and committed partner, standing alongside our neighbours and working together to advance our shared interests. this council provided a further opportunity to demonstrate that ongoing commitment that included migration, the digital single market, north korea, turkey and iran. and it made progress in moving towards the new deep and special partnership with the european union we want to see. on migration, the uk is playing its part. the royal navy has intercepted 172 smuggling boats and saved over 12,000 lives since operation sophia began. while our national crime agency is working with libyan law enforcement, enhancing their capability to tackle the people smuggling and trafficking networks. at the council we welcomed the reduction in migrant crossings and the renewed momentum behind the libyan political process. but we should continu

theresa may. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, focused his questions not on brexit but on universal credit. it replaces six working—age benefits and is being rolled out across the uk. but some conservative mps, former civil servants and charities are calling for a pause, because they fear delays in payments could plunge claimants into poverty. the roll—out of universal credit is already causing debt, poverty and homelessness. does the prime minister accept it would be irresponsible to press on regardless? theresa may explained why the change had been introduced. what we want is a welfare system that provides a safety net for those who need it, that helps people to get into the workplace, helps people to earn more and to provide for themselves and their families. the system that we inherited from labour did not do that. it was far too complicated, there were too many different sorts of payments and, crucially — crucially — those who earned more, too many of those who earned more, found them

theresa may's critics... lie i think she has been doing a good job this week, i think the supporters in the country and voters are all focused on just one thing, making sure the prime minister can be supported. she has no obvious successor and her mps don't want to risk another election but she must tighten her grip on her party. this plot may yet fizzle out, but her opponents are still circling. and we can talk to our political correspondent jonathan blake, who is in westminster now. if this was a plot — has mrs may seen it off? for now, i think yes. when grant shapps emerged as the ringleader as this plot this morning, he attempted to gain more support. i think what we saw was the frustration that's been bubbling on many conservative mps since the disastrous election result earlier this year, blew the lid off this attempt to unseat the prime minister. and to gather enough support to go to her and say, now is the time you to stand aside. what we have seen today is conservative mps rallying around, those wh

theresa may trying to show the conference is not just theresa may trying to show the conference is notjust about brexit? very much so. they do not want it to be brexit and brexit. because it is a difficult issue, a divisive issue and a draining issue. and frankly it probably bores the pants off many voters to go on and on about it. which is why we have a broader agenda with announcements about situation —— universe tvs. and housing. she has got no money for major domestic initiatives. —— university fees. she lacks a majority to push through radical changes and some in her party are determined to keep banging on about brexit and in particular one brian —— boris johnson. brexit and in particular one brian —— borisjohnson. he has been sketching out new red lines and the signs are given the prime minister appears not to be in any mood to sack him, he will carry on with his outbursts over brexit norman, many thanks. norman smith in manchester. —— over brexit. the former american football star and actor oj simpson has been released from prison. he had been serving nine years

the 'i" has more on theresa may shrugging off reports that she asked eu commission chief jean—claude juncker for help with stalled brexit talks. the telegraph says gps are ignoring advice by the nhs to put more people on statins to decrease their risk of heart attacks and strokes. and the mirror has details of a new expenses scandal in the house of lords. let's kick off, then, with the 'i', on the brexit row — theresa may shrugging off the alleged jean—claude juncker lakes. it shrugging off the alleged jean—claudejuncker lakes. it was alleged that she had begged for help, and needlessly, in the view of jean—claude juncker. help, and needlessly, in the view of jean-claude juncker. after the bombshell leak in april, the first confidential, private meeting between theresa may and jean—claude juncker, when he was then set out that she was delusional, combat of the scale of the man she was making the scale of the man she was making the brexit, and again, a leak has occurred to the same german newspaper. interestingly, her former chief of staff, nick timothy, accused his european

theresa may only has a majority of 12, so this will be nip and tuck. so just as theresa may has difficulties in brussels trying to get the eu leaders to agree to move on, she also has profound difficulties at westminster were she faces potentially real grief over that brexit legislation. norman, thank you very much. a massive bomb attack in a busy area of the somali capital, mogadishu, on saturday is now known to have killed over 300 people, according to the government. hundreds more were wounded when a lorry packed with explosives detonated near the entrance of a hotel, destroying government offices and restaraunts. the government has blamed al—shabab militants for the attack, which is the deadliest since 2007. at least 27 people have been killed by wildfires in portugal and spain. thousands of firefighters and soldiers have been deployed to tackle more than a hundred blazes in central and northern portugal and across the border in the spanish region of galicia. officials have blamed arsonists for starting many of the fires. the leader of the spanis

theresa may is bringing us an update on brexit. we have important work to achieve together in this time. cooperation with our european friends will not stop in march 2000 and 19. the uk will stand alongside the eu as a strong and committed partner, working to promote our shared interests and values. nowhere is this more important than in our approach to the global challenges we face. whether security and defence, migration orforeign face. whether security and defence, migration or foreign policy issues, we face common opportunities and risks. we must continue to address them together. as i've said before, them together. as i've said before, the uk is unconditionally committed to the security and defence of europe. we share the vision of a strong, secure and successful eu with global reach and influence, and eu capable of countering shared threats to a continent working alongside a confident, outward looking uk. yesterday we discussed a range of subjects including migration, the digital economy and some of the most pressing foreign

but is it mean for theresa may? -- what does it mean for theresa may? david: how annoying with that beat a turnaround and there is jeremy corbyn hosting news conferences, hanging out with the greek minister. he is trained to demonstrate he is a credible alternative. -- he is trying to demonstrate he is a credible alternative, how you would do a better job for trade -- from theresa may. david, thank you so much. let's bring another voice into the conversation. --chuka umunna joins us now. what do you think of jeremy corbyn showing up in brussels? chuka: i think he is doing the right thing. as was just said, the prime minister is in a tenuous position. the parliamentary arithmetic and the u.k. right now is finally balanced. we have of hung -- we have a hung parliament. it is important that we have a dialogue with other you governments. we expect that with those of the left persuasion like the portuguese and swedish prime minister, who i understand jeremy met with. francine: what happened in brussels yesterday? does this reinforce theresa may's position? d

he has come out the hang theresa may. a lot of backbench rebellion over europe. people wanting to see the back of him. he has come to defence of the by minister in a similar position at this stage. he has criticised this loyalty but also made the point that if the party does not get behind a clear course of action that the prospect potentially could be that the conservatives end up losing out to labour and jeremy corbyn, which he said would be a disaster for the country. help for eu citizens who've settled in scotland and want to stay after brexit will be discussed at the snp conference. snp leader, nicola sturgeon, says the migrants have made a big contribution, and their right to remain in scotland should be guaranteed. the party will also consider its response to the political challenge from the conservatives and labour after the general election in june. nicola sturgeon said independence is still a target especially after brexit. many people in scotland desperately wa nt many people in scotland desperately want to see scotland become independent and others wi

what theresa may has done todayis acts. what theresa may has done today is as we would expect praised women for coming forward and hinted she may consider stripping him of his cbe and i think there has been a letter doing the rounds signed by some senior labour politicians suggesting that should be the case. but you're right, it interesting that this has been underground for so long and has come to the surface. and there will be others, it would just be harvey weinstein. and there will be others, it would just be harvey weinsteinlj and there will be others, it would just be harvey weinstein. i will be honest i am not sure anybody needs myself, another male perspective on this so i will revert to what the discussion has been in our office and the discussion among my female friends which is why are you so surprised. this happens all the time. this happens in every walk of life, it happens in my office and your office and we keep quiet. we talk to each other and swap notes but even these powerful women, these people with enorm

do you think theresa may will see us through these negotiations? i don't think she will, her time is limited, and the limitation is that the tory party is so divided that they can't see who to put in her place. michael heseltine, thank you very much for coming in. that is pretty much all we have time for this evening. theresa may has just sat back down in brussels after giving her speech, and as you saw, i referred briefly to the front page of the times, which has a minister urging a drastic approach, david davis to present a upbeat assessment of no deal, a big shift in britain's negotiating strategy. evan davis will be back tomorrow with analysis of how the speech went down. from all of us here tonight, good night. good evening. it has been a dismal day for many. let me show you the rainfall. some intense rains through the evening. if you're on the motorway network at the moment, followed this band of rain across south—east england. this band here across scotland now. hill fog to go with it. strong and gusty winds. a tree down in the south—wes

starting off with the sunday telegraph, theresa may featured on their front telegraph, theresa may featured on theirfront page. specifically working out the tuition fees. taking issue with the fact that they are going to freeze the level at which tuition fees are set in the short term and raise the point at which stu d e nts term and raise the point at which students start paying their loans back, to £25,000 per year. a battle for the government, this was the interview where sajid javeed was asked whether theresa may could survive as prime minister and he said he had run out of time and walked out. talking about the snap general election again, it took much longerfor general election again, it took much longer for theresa may to negotiate this deal. the queen was not terribly happy about it, according to the sunday times. seemingly a rift has opened. the mail on sunday, elizabeth hurley. she has given up on men. also talking about the tuition fee u—turn. politics lecturer victoria honeyman is here to tell us what's caught her eye. lovely to have you with us, had to get away from politics

theresa may's big speech was meant to be a crowd pleaser. pledges and policies to show those feeling the pinch she's on their side and try to get tory doubters back on hers. let me tell you something... so she came with plans to help out in the housing market and give a hand with fuel bills. the tories promised to cap energy bills before the last election, then dropped the idea. the treasury never liked what it saw as crude interference in the market. energy companies claim losing revenue could mean cuts in vital investment, but mrs may was out to help ha rd—pressed customers. the energy market punishes loyalty with higher prices. and the most loyal customers, the most loyal customers are often those with lower incomes, the elderly, people with lower qualifications and people who rent their homes. those, who for whatever reason are unable to find the time to shop around. that is why next week, this government will publish a draft bill to put a price cap on energy bills. it has become hard or impossible for many to afford a home or pay the

he has, come out loyally for theresa may. it is perhaps quite telling that he is somebody who has come to the defence of the prime minister who is at a similar position. he has criticised the disloyalty but also made the point that if the party does not get behind a clear course of action, the prospect could potentially be that the conservatives lose to labour and jeremy corbyn. he said that would be a disaster for the country. help for eu citizens who've settled in scotland and want to stay after brexit will be discussed at the snp conference. the party's leader, nicola sturgeon, says migrants have made a big contribution and their right to remain in scotland should be guaranteed. the party will also consider its response to the political challenge from the conservatives and labour. however, speaking to andrew marr, mrs sturgeon said independence is still a target — especially in light of brexit. many people i think in scotland desperately want to see scotland become independent. some of us are not convinced and will never

theresa may can be ruthless when necessary. she sacked george osborne when she came in as leader in a move that impressed everybody. apart from george osborne. yes, obviously. but she‘s not that strong position any more and nothing shows that more than the continued career boris johnson. peter, let's talk about something other than the conservatives. spain the constitutional crisis. a week ago we we re constitutional crisis. a week ago we were watching the referendum and police crackdown in catalonia, extraordinary scenes. the front of the observer has a picture of a protester in madrid with a sticker saying we talk? . a lot of demonstrations today in catalonia, in barthelemy, anti—independence demonstrations, notjust pro—independence people taking to the street. the observer has an interesting take on it. a lot of the reporter so far has focused on the demands of independence from the people of catalonia. the observer have been there and been talking to the anti—independent protesters. catalonia is divided. it seems to

but what do the younger voters make of theresa may's make of theresa may's hopes to tempt them of the conservative plans? of theresa may's hopes to tempt them our education editor branwen jeffreys has been finding out. just a mile from the tory conference, a student cafe. chewing over the changes, liam and grace. i can't imagine it being any more expensive than £9,000. it is expensive enough as it is, really expensive. as it is, really they don't take into account things like maintenance and stuff like that. like maintenance and liam says freezing fees doesn't go far enough. they should be encouraging more people to get into university and things like that. so scrapping them is the best idea for me. but i'm not really sure what that's going to do for the country as a whole. but grace is pleased but grace is pleased she won't start repaying until she earns more. it'lljust give me more time to earn that money until i actually have to pay back all the tuition fees. because £21,000 is not very much at all. so i think it's better that they are raising it. everything about student finance

it says during the week of grenfell tower, theresa may a p pa re ntly week of grenfell tower, theresa may apparently cried so much that downing street staff became so worried, one suggested standard —— sending for an sas soldier to give her a pep talk to boost her resilience, which is a bit scary because the rest of the nation was weeping for grenfell tower and she was weeping for herself, however... it's a really odd story, i think. 0n the face of it, all good fun and you step i can think about it, if somebody is crying, do you send an sas person to put an arm around them, that's weird, my problem with this is, she cried. right? it's very personal. it's sexist, is what it is. male prime ministers, ever described as broken in that sense? she cried, because men don't cry! so what, what if she does? she did actually admit to shedding a tear after the election result. plenty of reasons to cry. and then this issue of misleading the queen, she told the queen she had a deal with the dup, took another 17 days to nail it down, yes, it did... she did have a deal. not exactly misleading. bu

a crucial one for theresa may. one of the many reasons why she presumably has not appreciated what borisjohnson presumably has not appreciated what boris johnson said? the one day you do not want to be overshadowed by borisjohnson is today because it is high stakes for mrs may in terms of the fragility of her own leadership and trying to reboots, governors and motivate the deflated feeling party. a lack of policies and energy at the conference, big ideas. more of the sort of personal statement from the prime minister we are expecting and a big policy announcement on housing, particularly council housing. described by damian green as the rebirth of council housing. that would be a massive announcement because no tory leader has embraced council housing since way back and harold macmillan. but borisjohnson has been grabbing the headlines. he was talking about labia. redevelopment in libya. terrible fighting as islamic state has been expeued fighting as islamic state has been expelled rap for development if only they
