hello and welcome to the programme where we start with rugby union and the news that british and irish lions head coach warren gatland insists there's still an opportunity for players to force their way into the reckoning for the first test against new zealand which takes place on saturday. the lions play the chiefs in the coming hours with all six of the recent call ups from scotland and wales among the replacements. ireland's rory best will captain the side as maz farookhi reports. going through final drills ahead of the last warmup match. rory best will be the fifth captain for tomorrow's six game on tour. the whole squad, in fact, if sharing the workload. the six additional players drafted in, straight into playing and straight into bench ahead the chiefs. there was always the plan to bolster their ranks but with the test five days away and the coaches for that new recruits have fitted in seamlessly. it hasn't been difficult, it's been great. the lads are very interactive. it is fantastic because that is what it is all about. not all are so positive, though. england battled their w

british men's number two. kyle edmund was beaten in the first round of the men's singles at eastbourne by american donald young, ranked 47 in the world. edmund lost the first set but fought back to take the second 6—3 before losing the decider by the same score. there was some success though for marcus willis in the first round of wimbledon qualifying — the briton reached the third roubnd at last year's wimbledon before losing to roger federer on centre court. he still has a chance of making this year's tournament proper after being slovakia's andrey martin, despite being ranked 241 places lower than his opponent. willis now faces fellow briton liam braody — brother of naomi — in the next qualifying round. the first round is always tricky. a bit narrator start and under pressure i served really well and played good games to break. 0bviously happy with the win and i have more out of the practice court and see how i can play in the next match. british tennis is still under a cloud since men's number thre

british politics. as shown in a lot of public appearanceslj british politics. as shown in a lot of public appearances. i think she finds it awkward. most relish the public stage, many were actors. jeremy corbyn is not an actor, like her and he cannot dissemble in a way thatis her and he cannot dissemble in a way that is attractive but politically risky. but he is a campaigner, he has campaigned all his life, so he is utterly at ease with a public platform, being challenged — he can do as well. whereas she clearly hates that side of politics, and so, ina way, hates that side of politics, and so, in a way, i think, as with ted heath in 1974, the decision to call an early election, even if she wins by a huge majority, which is still possible, was a mistake, because i think it has altered perceptions of hope. john, how have you been writing about it? well, i have actually been busy doing other things, but the first caution i would enter here is have we not learned from elections on both sides of the atlantic, and referendums, not to trust political correspondence

the surprising results in british election sent the british pound into a skid. the pound lost close to 2% before a slight recovery, its biggest daily drop since january. british stocks were also down yesterday amid questions of how britain will go forward with its plan to leave the european union. stocks today, however, opened higher. >>> in this country, investors are waiting to hear from ped policy makers next week. speculation that the fed will raise interest rates boosted financial stocks. the dow jones rose 8 points. the s&p gained just under a point, and the nasdaq added 24 points, hitting a record high. >>> another boost for financial stocks came from capitol hill where the house voted to undo stricter banking rules imposed following the 2008 financial crisis. republicans voted to undo most of the dodd/frank act, arguing it made it harder for banks to do business and hampering the economy. it's headed to the senate where it's unlikely to survive in its current form. >>> yahoo! shareholders approved a $4.5 billion sale of its key business to verizon. veriz

the westminster attacker was also a british citizen. so travel bans, one of the seemingly common sense answers to a common sense problem which actually makes no sense at all, and also you can't ban the internet with a travel ban, and most of these people have been radicalized by the internet, so the travel ban is really a red herring. >> whnader, when you talked abo how companies are going to have to do more, explain exactly what you mean. it seems to me you can't really turn off the internet, can you? >> no, but i think what we're going to see, and this has been something more open in debate here, and the government has been more explicit about it in this country, fareed, is there is a sense about whether it is the persistent character of on-line extremist material on various websites and social media platforms that the countries are aware of and can be do more to take down what has been put out or the widely encrypted communications which we know is complicated in law enforcement and other government authorities actually want to keep

british police have named the third suspect in saturday's attack in london. he was 22-year-old yousef zagba, a moroccan italian. he was no stranger to law-enforcement. italy confirmed today that szaga was briefly detained after trying to reach the so-called islamic state, and the italians say they informed british authorities. as the investigation moves forward, and entire country stopped today to remember the seven people who lost their lives saturday night. >> a gloomy silence falls over londonon. for exactly one minute, britain is frozen in stillness. shortly after, police release another alleged attacker's name, youssef zaghba, identified as a moroccan italian, believed to have been on the police radar.the other two have been identified as a libyan moroccan and a british citizen born in pakistan. one of them was known to authorities. last year, he featured in this tv documentary, the j ihadis next-door, about islam is extremists -- islamist extremists. two others from his community tried to report him. one woman claims he tried to radicalize her children.

the british would have lost nearly one million. germany was using very young people, but they still had a lot of resources. once there was normal war on the eastern front, you had divisions after divisions arriving on the western front. so i am not sure at all that germany would not have won the war. yes, what we can say is that probably, a monster like hitler would not have come. but it would have also meant that you would have kept an autocratic germany. the austro-hungarian empire would have remained. it probably would have been modeled differently. it is highly fascinating that archduke franz ferdinand had come on a trip to the united states and gone back to his uncle wanting to model the diverse region of the austro-hungarian empire into a federal empire based on the united states as a model. there would have been another type of evolution of the austro-hungarian empire totally possible, which would have created much more stability than we had afterwards. so i think that the united states first showed, with all the volunteers

french people are the british people, i feel that he will have to respect that decision. so it is not for me to know whether we have to come back decision. as far as the member countries on the european union, as long as the decision of the organisation of this exit has not been completed, there is still the possibility of reopening it. but we must be clear, organised, and once it has begun we have to be collectively conscious that it have to be collectively conscious thatitis have to be collectively conscious that it is much more difficult to go backwards. fine, well, there is one thing that we cannot control, the beginning of the football match, which means we're going to leave you and we're going after the stade francais. thank you very much. i never like to be late for the kick off either. there they go. brexit negotiation, which was due to start next week on monday, that will go ahead. also, emmanuel macron echoing what was said a few days ago in germany come at the door is always open if the uk changes its mind. i don't think that is likely to happen given that 80%

the british prime minister theresa may says she will get on with the job of delivering a successful british exit from the european union, following thursday's disastrous election which saw her conservative party lose its parliamentary majority. making changes to her cabinet, mrs may has kept most of her senior ministers. with brexit talks starting in a week the prime minister has faced damning criticism from colleagues. vicky young reports. she's putting on a brave face, but theresa may knows she has thrown her party into turmoil. the shock of election night is still sinking in. after church this morning, the prime minister rang round colleagues who'd been defeated on thursday. she's in office for now, but for how much longer? i said during the election campaign that, if re—elected, i would intend to serve a full term. but what i am doing now is actually getting on with the immediate job and i think that's what's important, i think that's what the public would expect. they want to see governments providing that certainty and stability. but senior conservatives have demanded changes. it is

let's discuss the state of britain, of british politics. ned, theresa may, specifically, can she and will she survive all of this? if we'd been having this conversation a couple of days ago i would have said two years, probably, yes. not least because her main strength is that anybody who wants herjob within the conservative party would have to have his or her head examined, to want the job under these circumstances. you're going into brexit negotiations, which are going to be at least difficult and possibly more than difficult, so there is a communal self—interest among the tories in keeping her there for a while. what's changed is, as you say, the response, or the utter tone deaf nature of her response to this fire. it drew on a lot of the criticism she attracted during the election campaign, and it is utterly unpredictable. if she lasts, let's say, a week, i still give her two years, but it is all very fluid now. it reminds me a little bit of the atmosphere in the final days of maggie thatcher after the poll tax riots. politics is abou

a british rule book, not a eu one. control of its own trade deals with countries outside of the eu, like america, china, and india. many say hard brexit could cause economic damage, notjust say hard brexit could cause economic damage, not just to say hard brexit could cause economic damage, notjust to the uk, but also to the eu. we are the second largest economy in the eu. since the election, things have become less clear. some people believe we should now be pushing for what is described asa now be pushing for what is described as a softer brexit. many argue this makesjobs as a softer brexit. many argue this makes jobs and the economy the priority, more important than controlling immigration or sovereignty. britain could gain access to the single market, but we might have to make it easier for you immigrants to work here. —— for eu. we might as well stay in the customs union, which would allow the freedman is a good —— the free movement of goods, but not people. the uk would not be to sign its own trade deals

and i think a british and european citizens. and i thinka uk british and european citizens. and i think a uk perspective, there is a choice to be made. we live in a global world. and i think in a global world. and i think in a global world, at some point, you have to make an evaluation and say who are my allies? who is the person they see as an ally? is donald trump and ally? is that it viewed in an ally? is emmanuel macron or angela merkel and ally? i would go with angela merkel and emmanuel macron any day. —— an ally. but that is a decision that the united kingdom is to make. a very interesting perspective. and i want to come back to those global point you made. i don't want this entire interview to be just about britain, that would not be right, given your position in europe. but a final point on britain, in your heart of hearts, do you still think it is possible that britain will actually reversed its decision, and decide that it does not want to leave the european union? who am i tojudge? ifi not want to leave the european union? who am i tojudge? if i would bea uni

the day the british liberated the falklands and by tonight british troops had begun the task of disarming the enemy. in the heart of the west german capital, this was gorbimania at its height. the crowd packed to see the man who, for them, had raised great hopes for the end of the division of europe. michaeljackson was not guilty on all charges. the screams of the crowd testament to his popularity and their faith in his innocence. as long as they'll pay to go see me, i'll get out there and kick 'em down the hill. what does it feel like to be the first man to go across the channel by your own power? it's pretty neat. feels marvellous, really. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: theresa may has been forced to form a minority government after losing her parliamentary majority in britain's general election. president trump has called the fired fbi directorjames comey a liar and said he's willing to testify under oath. us president donald trump has accused qatar of funding terrorism warning the gulf state to stop it immediately. that message came just hours after his secretary of state, re

a british government out of the e.u. could actually make better relations with russia until the sanctions mongers to go and get lost i mean i think part of the problem here is perhaps the ambiguity which the question was perhaps posed in the referendum as to what the states of the u.k.'s relationship would be but if i can go back to the time to mr brooks it looks very likely the tories are going to form a working majority with the u.p.a. the democratic unionist party what impact do you think that will have on brics that talks if any do you think that's a key factor here. well i think it's a massive factor here you know george talks about this wonderful exciting peacher that could happen in some type of theory or maybe some type of world that could happen but it's not going to happen because there is you know is this going to be a certain type of practice that's going to be to go shaded by the people who are in government right now they are the ones who are going to see it through and i see no signs they're going to be ma

this is a very difficult negotiating situation the british rn. it is no accident that article 50, the part of the article treaty that provides for withdrawal is sick -- is set up to make it hard on the withdrawing country. the leverages on the part of the other remaining members of the eu, and they have a political objective, they want to make sure that britain is not seen as benefiting from withdrawal, because should it be that was the outcome, other countries might consider withdrawing. while the british objective and withdrawing from the eu is also political, they want out from underneath the sort of nanny state of brussels, the europeans want to make it clear that a country withdrawing will not have as good a deal as countries that are in the eu. that is a tough circumstance that the british find themselves in. we get throughs the major part of the exit negotiations and the calculation of what it is that britain will need to pay to meet ongoing obligations, there will be other forces at play. there are economic interest in 27, in theire eu re

the british government have ruled that out. the irish government certainly haven't argued for it either. it is unlikely to happen. but the reason the dup will put this on their list of asks, the special status being one foot in the single market, one foot out, is because most of their trade is actually with the rest of the uk. we do need to be clear. the british people need to understand what the situation they're about two faces. a prime minister with no authority whatsoever, a conservative party humiliated and now facing huge division, is now going to be held over the barrel by the most extreme party in the house of commons. the democratic unionist party, which lets just be very clear, we talk about social conservatives, it is anti—lgb t wright, anti—woman's rights, they oppose the right of women to choose, and equally they are backed by loyalist terrorists. they are now going to be... have a huge influence. just to clarify that, they say they are backed by them, but they have no formal link. they are enthusiastically sup

to the british and irish lions in new zealand. they have to win the second test in wellington tomorrow morning or the series against the all blacks will be lost. tour captain sam warburton comes off the bench, one of three changes to the starting 15. maro itoje makes the second row but the biggest gamble is in the midfield, will the pairing ofjohnny sexton at fly—half and owen farrell at inside centre be able to unlock the all blacks. our sports correspondent katie gornall is there for us. so, after the all blacks outclassed the british and irish lions in auckland, the tour has moved further south here to wellington. will this be where new zealand wrapped up the series or can the lions fight back —— bite back? wellington is where warren gatland's side hoped to get back contract, and as thousands of fans arrived in the city, we asked them if they still had hope for the lions. still optimistic. i think there were enough positives from the first test to save we can just get a bit more intensity and stop them being so clinical a

down the will of the british people when it comes to u.k. . policy being independent of neoliberal brussels and. yeah well for thought thank you very much for having me back on your show obviously the general election of two thousand and seventeen that i think theresa may had thought maybe early on a couple of months ago was going to give her that mandate that she needed to walk into brussels and begin negotiations from a position of strength have changed and i think that it pretty clear that the fact is that she does not have that mandate anymore and there's a lot of fear from the folks that i worked with on the leave side that they're not going to get the harbor exit and that it's going to get watered down into some qana soft drugs it and i think that's just the reality of situation that. prime minister may has created as a result of the two thousand and seventeen election banks's book of the bad boys a brick said you feature in that book he expressed disappointment about there not being a left wing. jeremy corbyn of course being against the

>> the basic story that i wanted to write about is pressed into four days and nights as the british army and the belgians having collapsed find that they make their way back to the channel ports and it's a kind of miracle to evacuate over 350,000 men is extraordinary is now 860 dots and personal boats because they were being bombed so it is a miraculous floor. >> it is one of the moments when the plaintiff the greatest victory they lost the war and had an opportunity to crush the army on the beaches of dunkirk it is disputed by the generals of persons they would sit and rest and they gave an opportunity to organize a and when they were sure that we are in 20 invading them. >> when did this ocher? >> the 26th and 27th. it might be possible to take 20 or 30,000. we took off 350,000. now without their artillery and in most cases they wanted to. for the naval officer it was hard to get into. it's full of supplies for the troops that had a lot to where they were. >> was this a case of snatching victory out? >> it was defeated, yes. more than that because until dunkirk, there was still a runni

announcer: next, british prime minister theresa may's statement on last night's terror attack in london. then the bbc question time with prime minister may and labor party leader jeremy corbyn on election issues. at 11:00 p.m., another chance to see "q&a" with former fcc economist thomas hazlett. british prime minister theresa may is calling for tougher measures to fight islamic extremism after three men used a vehicle and knives to kill seven people last night in london. the attackers were killed. at least 12 people have been arrested in connection with the attack. the prime minister said thursday's elections would go on as scheduled. here is her statement concerning last night's attack. >> here comes the prime minister. pm may: last night, our country fell victim to a brutal terrorist attack once again. as a result, i have just chaired a meeting of the government's emergency committee, and i want to update you with the latest information about the attack. shortly before 10:10 yesterday evening, the metropolitan police received reports that a white van had struck pedestrians on london

a clear exa m ple of british muslims who are furious. a clear example of that has been that religious scholars across the country, muslim religious scholars across the country have taken part in an unprecedented move where they have said they will not engage in funeral prayers for these terrorists and again the british muslim community is saying — we want to work with everybody else to make sure we root out this evil. a final part, the prime minister talks about things have to change and things are going to change, do you get the sense at this point that we‘ve crossed — we‘ve crossed some kind of great line and that things are going to change? i think we have. and i agree with her, enough is enough. things have to change. we have to go back to looking at what it is that could have‘ been done, whether it is the security services, the police, the security services, the police, the government, policy making or the community, what could have‘ been done differently which could have stopped each and every one of these three terrori

the westminster attacker was also a british citizen. so travel bans, one of the seemingly common sense answers to a common sense problem which actually makes no sense at all, and also you can't ban the internet with a travel ban, and most of these people have been radicalized by the internet, so the travel ban is really a red herring. >> nader, when you talked about how companies are going to have to do more, explain exactly what you mean. it seems to me you can't really turn off the internet, can you? >> no, but i think what we're going to see, and this has been something more open in debate here, and the government has been more explicit about it in this country, fareed, is there is a sense about whether it is the persistent character of on-line extremist material on various websites and social media platforms that the countries are aware of and can be do more to take down what has been put out or the widely encrypted communications which we know is complicated in law enforcement and other government authorities actually want to keep

the british media says she's likely to hang tough. she's not going to give in to those calling for her resignation just yet u but she's under huge pressure to form some sort of government before parliament come together on june 13th. so people are looking to her for some sort of sign for what her plan is on putting a leadership together. >> what does this mean for brexit? will it have an impact? >> this was called by her to negotiate a deal, the terms of that deal that are going to be hard fout and extremely complex. what this means now is even more uncertainty as it has backfired enormously, and british people are looking to have their government rule their own country, never mind move forward with the intimate negotiations for leaving brexit. this could delay the start of the negotiations which are already under pressure to get started as it is. >> we look forward to hearing from theresa may. thank you so much, jane. >>> now to the political fireworks in this country. the former director of the fbi called the president of the united

the british had something to say about that. on the gory third, 1778, monroe signed a furlough for a pennsylvania soldier. the earliest known example of his signature on an official document. we also know who the soldier is. a gentleman who is able to leave the army for several named john wall. monroe served with the young man who would figure in his later life. one is the marquee who is greater rank did not prevent the two soldiers only a year apart in age from becoming lifelong friends. also his childhood friend and future chief justice john marshall. and ehrenberg and alexander hamilton, destined to fight the most famous duel in american history. i think there was a musical or some other play -- something, i can't remember the people. during the autumn of 1777, monroe fonts in the battle of brandywine and germantown. leading a scouting party in june 7078, monroe sent messages to george washington. monmouth was the last time james monroe would be under fire in the revolutionary war. he became a lieutenant colonel but was unsuc

[laughter] to the talking portuguese, spanish, anyone who will listen including the united states of america. , and alsohat context leading up to the war of 1812, when we get our next diary entry. whether it will be -- eventually abolished, is in fact get a problem. trade is beyond question and abomination, disgraceful to the human character pip -- but there are so many interests concurring to support it. i say the motive that the abolitionist's are in a great degree -- fashion and faction for the impressment of seamen, is to all intents and purposes, , oppressivemmo

third london bridge attacker, an italian man of moroccan descent whose name had been flagged to the british authorities. he was 22 year—old youssef zaghba who'd been living in east london the british authorities were alerted after he'd tried to travel to syria last year. and questions about another attacker, khuram butt, who'd been reported for violent and extremist behaviour. i said that in my estimation they are a national security threat, they are dangerous individuals, and that information was passed onto $015, counter—terrorism police. there was another arrest today in east london — but 12 people have been released without charge. an australian nurse, kirsty boden, was the 3rd victim to be named — she was killed as she ran to help others during the attack. she never saw bad in anybody. even if everyone was having a bad day, kirsty was the person that was going to make you smile. this morning at 11 — a minute's silence across the uk for the seven killed in the attack — and dozens injured. we'll have the latest on the reaction to the attacks — as the prime minister claims s
