it would undermine theresa may's authority, leading possibly to another snap election. we also had from the trade secretary this morning. he was after this could put the government down. he said theresa may is yet to outline the government's vision for the future relationship of the uk within the eu. they have the numbers to blow her massive hole through this process. i would say to my colleagues that theresa may has kept a broad range of views on the european issues in her cabinet for a reason. we sat down, with those differing views, we looked at the issues, options and we came to an agreement that we are all happy with. that was liam fox on andrew marr earlier. it will be an important week ahead, big speeches from jeremy corbyn and theresa may in the next few days. i think we're seeing labour setting out its position get in ahead of theresa may's big brexit speech. a coming for some time. there has been pressure with an labour backbenchers forjeremy corbyn to move on this. theresa may will be giving the final speech on what we have had a series of speeches dubbed the

it's about time theresa may stood up to them and slung them out. good morning, it's tuesday the sixth of february. also on the programme this morning, on a new fight for justice by

theresa may, there. also speaking this morning in munich, jean—claude juncker of the european commission. he said that this approach should be maintained. translation: the commonalities between the eu and the uk and i would like to say that i believe, since we are not at war with the uk, since we are not at war with the uk, since we are not at war with the uk, since we would not take revenge on the uk for what the british people has decided, so, this security alliance, the security bridge between the uk and the eu will be maintained. however, you cannot mix up maintained. however, you cannot mix up this question with other questions that are important, in the context of brexit. you have to look at them individually and have the a nswer at them individually and have the answer each question on merit, but i do not want to mix up security considers with other considerations. our chief international correspondence is in munich now. what will the reception of theresa may's speech and this apparent discord o

what did you take from theresa may's speech? she was speaking in the eu's interest and trying to deliver a message that it is essential that all the relationships on the security side between the uk and the eu be maintained. this means lots of treaties and requirements, because the eu is a number of countries, all of which have intelligence relationships with britain and there are barriers to moving data between the eu and the uk in the period when we do we. this is complicated, getting agreement on that and how this process can be shared. there are precedents. britain has long—standing cooperation with australia, the united states and canada. it is possible to come up with something regardless of the arguments over brexit that works both sides. we're working with a new form of with terrorism being blurred into conventional and unconventional warfare. we are seeing it in syria and in ukraine, the use of people who may appear to be terrorists but they actually may be because operatives. so you have moved between and a major eur

you theresa may. but again, let's see where we are. you are a theresa may. but again, let's see where we are. you are a brave man to make such statement —— backing theresa may. and finally back to the daily telegraph. we need somebody with a technical mind to step in and help us with this story. hackers huack help us with this story. hackers hijack thousands of government websites to mine bitcoin. you're looking at me! it is to do with the internet! that's all i've got. what i know is that it takes a lot of processing power to mine crypto currencies. and it seems that different government websites are being harnessed to bring that processing power. you can use the metaphor. it is the equivalent, we know that sometimes your broadband gets nicked by your

may's neck. 0ne on the warpath breathing down theresa may's neck. one of the issues they have been getting to her over is this idea of staying in this eu trading bloc, which we are currently in. theresa may has always said we will not claim in the customs union, but she has been less clear on whether we can stay in some sort of revamped customs union, another form of customs union. last night downing street put it down in black and white that we will not be pa rt black and white that we will not be part of any type of customs union whatsoever. that will please the brexit is because they regard the great prize of brexit is our ability, once we leave, to go out on strike our own trade deals, which we cannot do if we stay in a customs union. albeit there are plenty of tory remainders, the labour party and the snp and others who do want us and the snp and others who do want us to think about staying in a customs union and that was what hilary benn said this morning. the prime minister has brexiteers to the left of her, remain as to the right of her but

theresa may says this isa will decide. theresa may says this is a negotiation and you don't tell everybody what your bottom line is. but there have to comment point where you show leadership and show some parameters and there is a vacuum. and unfortunately for her, we are used to 24—hour news. we are used to things happening quickly. we have been going on about this for ever and we have been going on about this for everand we are have been going on about this for ever and we are impatient. wrongly all rightly. there are impact studies, let usjudge. ratherthan jacob rees mogg, the man who might be chancellor, complaining. and where are the cbi on this? talking to the chancellor. the sunday telegraph says, don't let hammond ruined brexit. this is philip hammond, the main remain a voice in the cabinets. people are saying they have to stand up to him. but he may be talking to the cbi who are saying that if we walk away, we don't know where we will sell our goods, we don't know if factories will close down. this can't be done

i understand theresa may is still keen on this option. but there is a third option that could be pushed by remain supporters who point out that the eu has talked of magical thinking in whitehall. this is the possibility of a vote in parliament later this year to maintain a version of the current customs union. one remain supporter warns of serious consequences if theresa may refuses to keep her options open. labour's front bench itself is ideological. my front bench probably isn't, but it's in hock to 35 hard ideological brexiteers who are not tories. they're not the tory party that ijoined a0 years ago and it's about time theresa stood up to them and slung them out. because they've taken down major, they took down cameron, two great leaders, neither of whom stood up to them. well, if it comes to it, i'm not going to stay in a party which is being taken over by the likes of jacob rees—mogg and boris johnson. they're not proper conservatives. if that means leaving the party, form some new alliance, god knows, i don't know, but we simply

while a harder version being pursued by theresa may. it really separates the parties, putting them into clear positions. staying within a cost customs union, labour's new policy, this would mean britain would still need to impose tariffs on goods coming into the country and abide by many of the rules and regulations we currently do within the eu. as opposed to theresa may's version, leaving the customs union, with much more room for britain to divert, go off and do its own thing. but as keir starmer set out today, this new labour policy which will be announced tomorrow. well, we have long championed being in a customs union with the eu and the benefits of that. obviously, it is the only way realistically to get tariff free access. it is really important for our manufacturing base and nobody can answer the question — how you keep your commitment to no hard border in northern ireland without a customs union. crunch time is now coming for the prime minister, because the majority of parliament does not back her approach to a customs union

so, ifi am theresa may oi’ difference. so, ifi am theresa may or borisjohnson difference. so, ifi am theresa may or boris johnson and difference. so, ifi am theresa may or borisjohnson and i come to you and say canada plus, plus did you say no chance. is that right? i'm not saying that. everything depends on the red lines of the british side i say the single market is a best solution for the british economy. the british government does not want that because the redline is no freedom of movement of people. i say the second—best option for britain isa the second—best option for britain is a customs union. britain says no, thatis is a customs union. britain says no, that is not possible because it wa nts to that is not possible because it wants to regain control over trade policy. my third proposal is that 0k, policy. my third proposal is that ok, let's look into another association agreement. maybe there will also be opposition by the british government to say that this implies the role of european court ofjustice implies the role of european court of justice and we impl

theresa may is easier to —— theresa may is facing a challenge from backbench mps. there are a few more backbench mps. there are a few more backbench mps. there are a few more backbench mps who have added their name to this amendment. be clear what the amendment is. that would be that britain remains in the customs union. do you think there's a majority in the comments are staying in customs union? it is a knife edge for the conservatives right now and we will learn more injeremy corbyn delivers his speech on monday. this piece is saying the arithmetic has changed but i have my doubts whether all those labour mps whose constituents voted for brexit would necessarily go that way. like many other people, i'm still wondering what the government have up their sleeve, kicking the scan down the road and saying we will tell you what our plan and we will have a series of speeches. we had a meeting at chequers last night and we still don't have any details. we think there was a surprising unanimity. they said they want to have managed to divergence, meaning you could cherry

so it is a familiar message from theresa may. the uk is leaving the european union, but that doesn't mean close cooperation needs to end. and it is a blunt message too. saying to europe's leaders, don't let your ideology get in the way of the safety of our citizens. the government hopes this speech shows it is acting responsibly, not wanting to drag the important issue of security into fraught brexit negotiations. vicki is in munich now. this is a staging post on the road to brexit, was the much on the sort of security relationship in the uk wa nts of security relationship in the uk wants with the rest of europe? of security relationship in the uk wants with the rest of europe7m of security relationship in the uk wants with the rest of europe? it is interesting that this is seen as a trump card for the british government. we have got a lot to offer when it comes to defence and security. but some say theresa may shouldn't have thrown it away saying she will offer this unconditionally, but there are others who think this will show

back to our top story, and the british prime minister, theresa may, in china. earlier, i spoke to our correspondent stephen mcdonell in beijing. i asked him what assurances the chinese gave mrs may that they would strike trade deals with the uk after it leaves the european union next year. well, we haven't heard any announcement along those lines, and what happens on these visits if they go into secret meetings, or... well, when i say secret, behind closed doors, at least where the media is concerned. and then we get some sort of indication from leaders, if they like, about what was said inside the meeting. i doubt there had been assurances in terms of brexit. i mean, for one, britain has made it clear that it wants to have a free trade agreement with china, at some point, after a divorce is itself from europe. now, technically, i don't think either side is allowed to negotiate a free trade agreement at this point. so even if they wa nted at this point. so even if they wanted to, they can't speak about that, as it is probably illegalfor the british government t

clearly theresa may is coming back to a busy time. she knows there are concerns about her leadership, but one thing iam hearing about her leadership, but one thing i am hearing from supportive mps of her hand to do want her to stay on in thejob is her hand to do want her to stay on in the job is the may local elections coming up, many believe here in westminster that might be a pinch point for theresa may and if the conservatives do not do well in those local elections, if they get a bad set of results, that could be a crisis time forgeries are made. thank you very much. —— crisis time for theresa may. some 377 staff will be made redundant as a result a 51—year—old man is to go on trial for the murders of two schoolgirls. he is accused of murdering two small girls in brighton. they went missing from their homes in the city and their bodies were found hidden in bushes the following day. our correspondence is at the old bailey for us. bring it up to date. it was in court 11 here at the old bailey. it is what is called a plea and

so it's a pretty familiar message from theresa may. the uk is leaving the european union but that doesn't mean close cooperation needs to end. and it's a blunt message, too, saying to eu leaders, don't let your ideology get in the way of the safety of our citizens. the government hopes today's speech will show it's acting responsibly, not wanting to drag the important issue of security into fraught brexit negotiations. vicki young, bbc news, munich. our political correspondent susana mendonca is here. we've had two big speeches this week on brexit — are we any clearer on the way forward? well i think we'd still a long way to go before we know what brexit going to look like but if you look at the speech as we've had so far they seem to be about building bridges. theresa may talking about that cooperation, unconditional cooperation between britain and the eu. certainly the eu commission president made it clear that cooperation on security doesn't mean cooperation on security doesn't mean cooperation on security doesn't mean cooperation

the headline, backlash at theresa may's plan for brexit transition. this says ministers claim cabinet never signed off on the strategy that could limit free trade deals. this was the strategy i think that was leaked earlier this morning and then finally published about five o'clock this afternoon. this is about theresa may's plan for transition which some ministers are annoyed about because they say they never signed off on it. it is really hard to figure out why this would have happened. i mean, all this week, all we have heard is about this road to brexit, you know, which has been... rocky. otherwise described as a road to nowhere. we have had these big speeches from the brexit related ministers, this much trumpeted big meeting of cabinet, tomorrow and eight hour—long awayday in which they finally, a year and a half later, tell us what they actually wa nt later, tell us what they actually want from brexit. and so maybe this over the transition, maybe itjust got sort of lost in the detail, maybe it fell down the back of the sofa, maybe they just ma

what happened when theresa may says i'm treating this as a confidence issue? are you going to walk through the lobby with jeremy corbyn? that is not practical, because of the fixed term parliament act and the people who are trying to force her into some kind of leadership challenge are the 62 who are on the other end of this who actually... she may try to pull it and say formally there is no thing that forces a confidence vote. but i will resign and there will be chaos if my party does not back me. back me or sack me. why would she do that? the consequences would be terrible. yes, it would be terrible. i think the right thing would be to call those of us who have concerns about this and talk to us about the concerns and see if we can find a way forward. why do you think she has given so much? she said she became prime minister to those 62 to what, the ones who want the hard brexit do you think? well, i don't know. i think the parliamentary arithmetic is there. there is no majority in parliament or the lords for a hard walkaway no deal brexit. there is going to

theresa may is not just and it burst it wide open. theresa may is notjust having to contend with difficulties in her top team, when you have people like boris johnson, who campaigned for brexit, amber ruud wanted the uk to stay in the eu, she has to manage those views. then she has the wider party, and we were hearing from people that we re and we were hearing from people that were avid supporters brexit for some time, like jacob rees—mogg, the chairman of the european research group, saying that there to be a clea n group, saying that there to be a clean brexit, a clean breakfrom the european union. there are others in the conservative party that wanted the conservative party that wanted the prime minister to stay. the best prime minister and hope for today is some big philosophical agreements about the of travel. if she can at least get senior minister stephen sign off on something, she is heading in the right direction. —— senior ministers to sign off. next week we may get more clarity, that the key point is that whatever the

theresa may has just the time now is 9:11am. theresa may hasjust made a the time now is 9:11am. theresa may has just made a speech in munich regarding security cooperation, specifically after britain leaves the european union. the images you can see at the moment are a question and answer session. let us listen in. because of ourjustice and home affairs opt out, we have that relationship already, but let's be ambitious about a security treaty for the future and the one goal we will all have is not about institutional structures of mechanisms, but is about the security of our people. as we conclude this session, let me remind you that we need to be back here at 10:30am sharp to continue the discussion with jean—claude juncker and other speakers. that question and other speakers. that question and answer session has just taken place after the prime minister's speech. we can speak more on this. good morning, catherine. what is the gist of the speech? this is theresa may's comfort zone. she is used to talking about security and home affairs issues. the message she really wa nts af

to be fair to theresa may, everything just got to theresa may, everything just got to do, she has gotten them navigate through that tiny majority, and you've got to get the eu to agree to whatever she's asking for, it is extraordinary. she's not doing anything about brexit, she is literally having to sought out and play off remainers and hard brexiteers, and try and keep them all roughly in shape. the same thing would be happening in the conservative party of shadow majority of 134. this is how the tories have been of this rating themselves for 40 years and they are carrying on doing it now. we are known having any sort of brexit, then we were on the day the referendum. now, we will very briefly touched on the other big picture, here. the spice girls back together, is this going to be a powerful new demonstration of girl power? well know, because they are not girls. that was the phrase at the time. i didn't mean that.|j know. they are getting 50 million in order to not sing, because they are going to be having a tv show, and releasing their old hits. i am going to be having a tv show, an

do you think that theresa may and theresa may‘s government has the same commitment to the northern powerhouse that george osborne, when you were treasury minister, had to the northern powerhouse? i don‘t think it can be as strong as when i was there with george osborne, because it was sort of like my baby. and it became a huge, top five priority for the government. is it still? it‘s not as big. what i would say, more encouragingly, is if you go right back to the prime minister‘s first speech on downing street‘s steps, it is very clear that she is sympathetic to the whole goal of doing something like the northern powerhouse. fuji film is hoping to boost its revenue to hire annually. ebay plans to drop its long—time partner paypal — instead hiring dutch company adyen for its payments business. ebay said the shift will result in lower payment processing costs for merchants. paypal shares plummeted by 10% after the news was announced. thusis thus is sales has climbed at ag barr despite the decision to cut sugar in its drinks including irn bru. it hopes to report sales up to 277 millio

fees tripled when theresa may was already in the cabinet. but more than more students like his sixth formers go to university, however tricky the subject they choose. 0k. i did physics a—level, but that's where my physics ended. but after the election and labour's popular promise to scrap fees altogether, the prime minister has concluded things have to change. all but a handful of universities charge the maximum possible fees for undergraduate courses. and the level of fees charged do not relate to the cost quality of the course. so we now have one of the most expensive systems of university tuition in the world. what she really wants is a change in attitude. it remains a perception that going to university is really the only desirable route, while going into training is something for other people's children. if we're going to succeed in building a fair society and a stronger economy, we need to throw away this outdated attitude for good. are you willing to say that, potentially, taxpayers should contribute more towards students' education

so it's a pretty familiar message from theresa may. the uk is leaving the european union but that doesn't mean close cooperation needs to end. and it's a blunt message, too, saying to eu leaders, don't let your ideology get in the wake of the safety of our citizens. the government hopes today's speech will show its acting responsibly, not wanting to drag the important issue of security into fraught brexit negotiations. vicki young, bbc news, munich. a court in pakistan has sentenced a man to death for the murder and rape of a six—year—old girl. zainab ansari's body was found on a rubbish dump in the city of kasoor injanuary. 24—year—old imran ali confessed to the killing and to attacks on other young girls. secunder kermani reports. these are the last images of six—year—old zainab alive, being led away by the man who would rape and kill her. her body was found on a rubbish dump five days later. zainab's attacker was 24—year—old imran ali, an acquaintance of herfamily. he was identified on the basis of dna evidence. afte

the conservatives have been warned it is crunch time for theresa may. the pro—eu mps could defeat the government in the commons when parliament votes on the terms of the final brexit deal. but the trade secretary, liam fox, encouraged remain supporting tories to unite behind theresa may when she sets out the government's plans for the future relationship with the eu next week. i think when the rest of the parliamentary party hears on friday as the prime minister sets it out at... she will win over anna soubry, do you think? i hope they will have an open mind and listen to what the prime minister says. labour's efforts to persuade conservative rebels to resist the government's plans are set to intensify now there is a clear difference between the tories and labour on brexit. emma joins us now. both theresa may and jeremy corbyn could get pushed back from rebels. there are brexit split parties. for some time, theresa may has been pushed to set out the government's vision for our future relationship with the eu but labour has been pushed as well. there h

in the last hour theresa may has been telling mps about her deep concern. she said deliberately targeting civilians blatantly violates international humanitarian law. she specifically called out the russians, not just the specifically called out the russians, notjust the syrian regime. she said the russians as backers of the syrian regime were deeply implicated in all of this. the kremlin has denied these claims. it is hard to see how the syrian regime could be bombing gutor without at least russian consent. —— eastern ghouta. the problem for theresa may and the united states is they have largely abdicated, left they have largely abdicated, left the battlefield in recent years. russia has moved into that vacuum and established its order and military dominance in syria. the west is in a very weak position. but it still hopes it can persuade russia in the next phase of peace negotiations, to try to recognise there has to be an end to this awful slaughter. i don't think there will be much of an end, frankly, before the syrian regime is convinced it has des

crunch time for the conservatives, a leading tory calls on theresa may

i pity theresa may because she is like a tool that is being used by both sides. one day she says something to appease the remainers and another day to appease the brexiters. not much to appease the remainers, mostly people who voted brexit are appeased. sometimes that is the problem... the lack of compromise. for the country getting out of europe, they need to life to birmingham. news of henry bolton. let us listen in. glamorous people that sat behind me. they have had, which is not uncommon, any number of unpleasant and aggression calls. someone had the misfortune of opening an envelope that had used toilet paper in. indeed. these people work incredibly hard and have over the last four years to sacrifice a huge amount to our party. they have behaved impeccably today. it has been an absolute honour and a privilege to work with every single one of them. can you show your appreciation for their efforts today? applause second thanks is to you. today is reg retta ble second thanks is to you. today is regrettable in many ways. as i said at the outset, the fact that i'

but theresa may's brexit plans have always emerged gradually, rather than sudden changes. and next she must persuade the eu, too. any negotiation is compromise. the choice for the prime minister is who will take and who must give. our political reporter emma vardy joins me from westminster. eight hours of talking. how much progress had they made let's elope that is right. it was talking. and months and months and months of talking before that. there was no big reveal moment tonight, no public statement at the gates of checkers. but we never expected that. there was never expected to be great detail revealed at the end of this. the ministerial cars sped away into the night. we were told from downing street in a short statement that the prime minister will be setting out the way forward in a speech next week. i can tell you that there are some snippets from sources inside the meeting that are reaching us at westminster. we are told, from one person around that table in checkers, that the prime minister played a blinder. that's the —— she persuaded brexiteers to change th

even if theresa may comes back with the deal right at the end of this year from this yearfrom brussels he is going to turn around and say, i would have negotiated a better deal. now we need a general election. so, what he's trying to do is create the conditions for a vote of confidence in the government and potentially for the government to fall. that's the point made in the financial times, that that could happen. that his plan is helped by the fact that some conservative remainers might vote with labour in parliament on this. your macro yearly news 20 conservative mps to support his idea ofa conservative mps to support his idea of a customs union, and these are conservative mps who have supported the amendment themselves. presumably this would overcome this issue with northern ireland, if it was in a customs union with the eu. it is not as simple as that, is it? it's not that simple but a customs union will make it easier to solve the northern ireland issue than not having a customs union. because it is separate from the single market. there is a brilliant explainer on a website of w

it is interesting that theresa may has closed many avenues down during the process. she is tried to appease the heart brexiteers in the party rather than the public interest. it is worrying, despite warnings from officials, she wants this system to register new arrivals by next year. 0verall register new arrivals by next year. overall the office insisted those arriving during the transition period would not have automatic rights to remain. the home office faces having to resign and implement a new registration system for 13 months from now. —— design. for eu migrants arriving. the government has no idea how many eu citizens are in the country. imagine how poorly this will be dealt with. this is a recipe for chaos. this is coming down the track. this change will happen in 30 months. the government is still having speeches about what brexit might look like. —— 13. is still having speeches about what brexit might look like. -- 13. the transition period could be a bit elastic. not if you are jacob rees—mogg. he is quoted. it is easy to shout from the sidelines.

brexit leads the front of the ft this weekend — with a picture of theresa may and angela merkel meeting in berlin in the run up to a security summit this weekend. the i says mrs may warned lives will be put at risk unless there is a brexit security deal. the express leads with brexit too — the paper quotes a prominent remain campaigner who it claims said britain should stay in the eu because older people who backed brexit will "die off". the telegraph have an interview with a former czech spy who claimsjeremy corbyn was a cold war source. the labour leader denies those allegations in the mail. the times headlines news that the government has blocked oxfam from applying for any more government funding until they've got their house in order after the sex scandal. a delighted dom parsons is on the front of the guardian as he picks up bronze for britain in the skeleton. the mirror leads with the story of a transgenderjockey hoping to become the first person to win a race as both a man and a woman. so brexit and oxfam makes several of the front pages, as do mr corbyn‘s meetings with a cz

my anxiety is that theresa may keeps on using this language. it's like she's gone seven rounds with the english language and it's come out bloodied. she uses all these phrases that simply don't mean anything. suddenly someone produces anything. suddenly someone produces a legal text, like the eu has, anything. suddenly someone produces a legaltext, like the eu has, and she says it is not what she meant. the comic you've made there doesn't add up either. the assumption behind it is ever not in the customs union we do not do any trade with the rest of the eu. that's what you said. you said if you take the trade we have with commonwealth countries it doesn't add up to the trade we do with spain, germany and france. doesn't add up to the trade we do with spain, germany and francem you have tariffs, that would affect the trade. we trade with many countries where we don't have free trade arrangements. there is an arrangement with the eu. we have no free trade with america. a stop you because i am becoming a bystander. let's cross over to the weather.

theresa may wants you to judge her actions, not her critics' words. taking tea with her husband and one of the most powerful men in the world. lapsang souchong, no less. maybe that's what they drink in numberten. herjourney of thousands of miles has been for more than a cup of tea, but a shake on billions' worth of business deals. despite frank talk on hong kong and north korea too. i've been pleased to bring a very large business delegation here. we've had a very successful visit. the convoy held up the traffic, a big charm offensive to help business sign on the dotted line. a brexit—friendly diplomatic visit, complete with bags. there's a real success story here. we've signed agreements on financial services. bp have signed a £750 million deal. one of the biggest chinese e—commerce sellers has signed a deal to sell £2 billion worth of uk goods over the next two years. all of this adds up. we've got to get away in britain from our obsession with europe in terms of its relation to the global economy. is that enough to make our economy roar after

so it's a pretty familiar message from theresa may. the uk is leaving the european union but that doesn't mean that close cooperation needs to end and it's a blunt message too, saying to europe's leaders, don't let your ideology get in the way of the safety of our citizens. the government hopes today's speech will show it's acting responsibly, not wanting to drag the important issue of security into fraught brexit negotiations. president trump has met survivors of wednesday's high school shooting in florida, in which 17 people died. it comes as pressure mounts on the fbi over the agency's failure to act on a tip—off that nikolas cruz, the suspected gunman, might carry out an attack. aleem maqbool reports. some survivors of the school attack are still being treated in hospital. as he promised, the president visited here, albeit very briefly. reporter: did you see some victims, mr president? yes, i did, i did indeed and it was very sad, something like that could happen, but the jobs the doctors do, the nurses, the hospital, first respo

sadly theresa may has lost a majority and has to deal with the dup and they will never accept it. the only sensible solution is either, we don't leave order hard border. —— either we don't leave or we have a ha rd either we don't leave or we have a hard border. theresa may has been asked to consider posthumously pardoning those suffragettes who committed crimes in pursuit of the vote. i wonder if this is right. perhaps the suffragettes wanted to get arrested to draw attention to their cause. they may not want to be pardoned. i will plug my magazine and said there was a great these by caroline creator and said there was a great these by caroline creat or peres about this. -- is caroline creat or peres about this. --isa caroline creat or peres about this. —— is a great piece in our magazine. she says the government was wrong to imprison them. the government did do something wrong. maybe a formal apology but this idea that you pardon somebody. i think if i was descended from a suffragette i would be quite proud to be descended from someone be quite proud to be descended from

theresa may is now flying back home. we'll be looking at the mounting criticism that awaits her back at westminster. also tonight... the man who drove into worshippers outside a mosque is sentenced to life, with a minimum of 43 yea rs. facing an uncertain future with prostate cancer, as it overtakes breast cancer as the third biggest cancer killer. the families fearful that local authorities can't look after their severely disabled children when they no longer can themselves. and a polar bear‘s eye view shows their struggle to find food on the shrinking arctic ice. coming up later on bbc news it's six nation sportsday, as we look ahead to this year's championship. it all starts here tomorrow in cardiff, with wales against scotland. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the prime minister is under increasing pressure to be more specific about what she wants britain's future trade relationship with the eu to look like. theresa may is on her way back now from a trade visit to china and negotiations on brexit ar

theresa may is trying to soothe the hardliners. this is the head of the biggest summit. the cabinet are planning to sit down and have a discussion about what will happen, what the deal will look like. i don't think i would wa nt to look like. i don't think i would want to be referee. there is a lot of argy—bargy. want to be referee. there is a lot of argy-bargy. you are getting these conflicting opinions and information coming through. the idea that boris johnson, michael gove and jacob rees—mogg are going... i wish i could. he is the chancellor apparently. are going to take us to apparently. are going to take us to a fantastic new place. what is interesting is this battle is continuing and i thought amber rudd was really good, she seemed solid unsure of herself and she said these guys unsure of herself and she said these guys are unsure of herself and she said these guys are not going to wreck the cohesion in our cabinet but then you read on and theresa may is allowing herself to be rattled, again and she is making these pre—emptive statements, not looking at the

how are you putting pressure on theresa may? how are you putting pressure on this government to deliver the brexit that you think this country wants? mr. smith: i'm not putting pressure at all. i express my own views. the view of the majority of the party is that it was clear, everybody on the remain side made it clear, if you vote to leave, you have to leave the customs union. they thought it was a threat. i think it got more votes over the line than otherwise. it is a clean break. the idea is, we leave the european union, but want to remain good friends. we will help them with intelligence and support them in defense issues and the rest. but there is a big prize to be gained by leaving, and that is that 90% of the growth in the world is going to be outside the european union. i don't agree with the treasury report. they get it wrong when they say that the extra growth that may come from a trade deal with the united states is very small. the australia-america trade deal improved their trade relations by 70%. there's a lot of pe

certainly, theresa may will want to emphasise the success of her trip to china. coming back with billions of pounds worth of business deals, and that phrase she wants to push global britain in action, an image, if you like, the confident uk as it leaves the eu, but it's certainly not a conservative party brimming with confidence she comes back to full for bs, there is a continuing infighting and spits and her cabinet she needs to get control of, but the real problem for theresa may is the concern that some have in her party over her own leadership. some are talking of despondency, dissolution, some are questioning her own decisiveness and lack of it, and even some who have supported her in the past are becoming more wobbly in their confidence in her leadership and she is being accused of blocking, not delivering radical change when it comes to domestic policy. so she comes home from china under pressure to keep her party united, under pressure to spell out her priorities when it comes to trading relationships after brexit, but also under pressure to secure her ow

theresa may has agreed a joint trade and investment review with china. it's the first step to what she says will be an ambitious trade deal, post—brexit, although the recently—leaked civil service forecasts on brexit suggest a china trade deal would be of only limited benefit to the uk's gdp. president xijinping said china's markets will be opened further to the uk. and the two leaders also discussed north korea, protecting the environment, and, more controversially, human rights and democracy. a short time ago i spoke to the bbc‘s robin brant in shanghai and i put it to him that everything anyone says in china is closely monitored or censored. yes, i mean, i'm free to stand here and say what i like, but certainly for viewers in china, getting the bbc back, that is certainly monitored and is often censored. and i think i thinkjohn sudworth's reports this morning of his experience in xinjiang, out in the west of china, are definitely being censored, and viewers here in china are not getting to see that and enjoy it. even what prime minister theresa

theresa may so against the idea? jim: as you know, i worked for the anti--- vonnie: talk about a cliffhanger. do we have jim in san francisco? no, unfortunately. we will have to come back to the question of why theresa may does not want another referendum. perhaps we can ask our next cairns.lan you will be talking about trade between wales, the european union, and the united states. this is bloomberg. ♪ nejra: live from london conveyor chain pitch with the european -- live from london, i am they are chai they are chain which with the european close minutes away. to expand its information technology services. the prize is a 32% premium. general dynamics would assume $2.8 billion worth of debt. blackstone group sold waldo first doria to anbang insurance. now the firm may get the chance to on the landmark again. according to people family with the matter, blackstone has talks about bidding for the waldorf and other anbang assets. the sale is being overseen by china's government. broadcom has lined up one of the bigges

theresa may doesn't, either. why not? she was there for a reason. she is one of a few figures, possibly the only one in the cabinet at this point, that can bridge both sides of brexit. until it serves either side to get rid of her, she is there. but she wasn't there this week, she was in china for three days, and it was kind of muted. we had been wondering whether she would use this as a chance to make a big, new britain on the world stage kind of speech, and talk about britain after brexit, doing deals with countries like china and things like that, and she didn't quite do that. she came away with £9 billion of deals and she did give one speech on business, but she didn't come out against human rights or china's behaviour in hong kong, she didn't sign up on the other hand for the big chinese initiative. thichs is the big idea of foreign investment. she gave them a bit of what they wanted and not other things, and somehow it wasn't the great ringing vision of britain after brexit. a bit of a missed opportunity? definitely. if she wants to reassert

theresa may left in no easy position at all. he is often he's often described as america's pastor and today a ceremony was held the us capitol to honor billy graham — who is now lying there in honour. graham died last week at the age of 99 but since then he has been remembered for his impact around the globe. he preached the gospel in 185 countries and territories and he prayed with every us president from harry truman to barack 0bama. today president trump was among those paying his respects and delivering remarks. an ambassador for christ who reminded the world of the power of prayer and the gift of god ‘s grace. today we say a prayer for our country, that all across this land the lord will raise up men and women like billy graham to spread a message of love and hope to every precious child of god. it's an enormous honourfor a private citizen to be placed in capitol hill, only four before. yeah, boot capitol hill police officers who we re capitol hill police officers who were shot in attack were placed there in honour and
