the rain, though, should be clearing away for northern ireland. quite a muggy feel here, especially as it brightens up. but quite a wet start to the day for northern england, especially the lake district, some of that rain affecting the north of wales, south of that. many places are dry, a few showers and possibly the odd flash of lightning across the english channel. now, as we run through the day, that wetter weather across the north tends to peter out very slowly. so not quite as wet in the afternoon across scotland, nor northern england. slow—moving showers developing across northern ireland and the chance of some thundery showers developing towards the south—east of england as well, perhaps drifting their way northwards, combining with the rain in the north. where there is a cool feel in eastern scotland and north—east england, easterly breeze, quite muggy to the south. in the south, we will have to look at the rain really developing on tuesday evening and tuesday night. these areas of low pressure moving across the uk, this one in part

of the uk as a whole as we are for northern ireland. professorjon tonge is a political a nalyst professorjon tonge is a political analyst from the university of liverpool and has written a history of the dup. they were set up as a political vehicle for the fundamentalist protestantism of the reverend ian paisley. it was a small party and the free presbyterian church which ian paisley said up, the dup gave voice to that. very fundamentalist. 1 million miles removed from the gentle church of england type persona of theresa may. the free presbyterian church is obviously opposed to same—sex marriage, it does no business on the sabbath, there will be no discussions on sundays. the dup was instrumental in campaigns against the legalisation of, sexuality in northern ireland. the dup has mellowed in recent years, the free presbyterian church only accounts for one third of the membership yet its origin is very much rely in its religious background, it's moved more and more into a more mainstream vehicle although its views with still be seen th

will northern ireland only get the money if a northern ireland power sharing deal goes ahead? my understanding is the money is committed to, but we want the northern ireland executive to choose how to spend the money and the best thing. sure. sure. so you're saying they will get the money even if there is no power sharing deal between the parties in northern ireland? my understanding and i haven't seen the full details, i haven't seen the full details, i have seen the public document that was released is that the money is for the northern ireland executive to spend and the best way for that to spend and the best way for that to happen is for all the political parties in northern ireland to get back to stormont and take over devolved government because what we wa nt devolved government because what we want here in westminster is for the northern ireland executive to run those devolved issues in northern ireland. that's our desire. that's what we're ailing for. ok. ok, but you are not clear on that so that does need clarification. let me bring in our other guests who have questi

it was extra public services in northern ireland. in terms of the big political picture in northern ireland, there is an attempt to put together and administration of it collapsed after a renewable energies gamble. if it's a big economic —— renewable energy scandal. if the dup push for cultural issues around flags and parades, that makes the talks more difficult. that would likely antagonise nationalists. it isa likely antagonise nationalists. it is a question for the dup. other looking for a deal that benefit everybody in northern ireland or will they be pressure for their base to deal with some of the more controversial things? has there to deal with some of the more controversialthings? has there been any nationalist or republican reaction to today's developments? sinn fein‘s statements tend to be more differences of the deal. they say there have been attempts before by unionists to prop up governments of westminster that have ended in tea rs of westminster that have ended in tears and achieved little. they are certainly lea

the rain, though, should be soon clearing away from northern ireland. quite a muggy feel here, especially as it brightens up. but quite a wet start to the day for northern england, especially around the lake district, some of that rain affecting the north of wales, south of that. many places are dry, a few showers and possibly the odd flash of lightning not far away across the english channel. now, as we run through the day, that wetter weather across the north tends to peter out very slowly. so not quite as wet in the afternoon across scotland, nor indeed for northern england. slow—moving showers developing across northern ireland and the chance of some thundery showers developing towards the south—east of england as well, perhaps drifting their way northwards, combining with the rain in the north. a cool feel in eastern scotland and north—east england, with the easterly breeze, quite muggy to the south. and it is to the south where we will have to look at the rain really developing on tuesday evening and tuesday night. areas of low pressure movi

or northern ireland right now. that is an interesting point you made about the economic agenda and the concerns aboutjobs and employment and so on because that is something that was almost completely missing from this discussion and one of the reasons why i really despise corbyn and labour as an next lefty myself is that it is now a completely bourgeois phenomenon. this is now a monopoly, monopolised by urban professionals and middle—class university students, and there has been scarcely a word said about the tragedy, the post—industrial tragedy, of working class communities in this country. it is now dead, that kind of life, a community built around a local industry, steelworks or manufacturing or coal mining. that is gone. we have lost a generation. and those are the truly forgotten people and nobody on either side of the fence and it is particularly culpable on labour's part has had a word to say about this. there is no easy solution, but they might have had something to say to the old industrial proletariat

the dup now hold more than half of northern ireland's seats at westminster. and their ten mps could offer theresa may what he wa nted m ost mps could offer theresa may what he wanted most from this election, some stability. although arlene foster has indicated what we want to see happening is a recognition of the particular circumstances of northern ireland, recognising our history and geography. we have always said we wa nt geography. we have always said we want the best deal for northern ireland and that is what we will push for. along with money for northern ireland's economy, the dup is thought to want influence in the upcoming brexit negotiations. questions about what will happen to northern ireland's land border with the republic have become a major sign. the party has always seen itself as british rather than european. we say never! ian paisley, the dup‘s european. we say never! ian paisley, the dup's religious groups are deeply important. stormont, stormont... deeply important. stormont, stormont. .. it deeply important. stormont, stormont... it has

northern england, northern ireland, central southern scotland in particular. could see wind touch 40, 50 miles per hour. there could be a few restrictions on the bridges and maybe on some of the ferry services, but the further north you are across scotland, lighter winds to start the day. still some showers around among central and western areas. nowhere near as heavy as we saw through sunday. a few showers maybe just catch you during morning rush hour in northern ireland and northern parts of england but again they should be lighter than we saw during yesterday. further south, only isolated showers, the vast majority will be dry. a bit of cloud in places and there will be sunshine breaking through. a blustery wind but we will see more in the way of sunshine break through that cloud as we head into the afternoon, particularly through southern and eastern areas. by the afternoon, very few showers around, mainly in the western parts of scotland and north—western england. by and large, a much drier and brighter day than we saw through sunday. with the wind comi

0h, the conservatives benefits northern ireland as a whole? oh, there is no question that what we know about the deal is helpful to everybody in northern ireland. there will be more money for public services, of course, it is irony on a day when the public sector purse is talking about pay for emergency services and policemen and firemen and apparently there isn't money for them, that suddenly theresa may can find some extra money in northern ireland? what about scotland ? extra money in northern ireland? what about scotland? what about wales ? what about scotland? what about wales? what about public sector workers? that's one part of this rather shady deal that's been put together. you expect the dup and i have huge respect for arlene foster. she is a good negotiator and the tea m she is a good negotiator and the team have done what you'd expect a unionist team to do and it is good in that, in so far as it goes for northern ireland. what is not good is that it has been done with a very worrying dealfor is that it has been done with a very wor

money going into the health service of northern ireland? money going into education? what's grubby about that? the prime minister returned this afternoon to help pass the vote to improve her government's programme, stripped of its most controversial measures. in the back... are you hanging on, prime minister? and then out at the front to face the opposition's main complaint. it cannot ensure that when people go to work, they have enough to live on. it can't maintain our public services. that's a government that doesn't deserve to remain in office. i do not see, mr speaker, how the nations of the uk can cope with the drastic economic hit that will come as a result of brexit. is there a determination to stand up to the most powerful, as she promised at downing street? to coin a phrase, the answer is no, no, no. nice and smiley, keep going! but labour itself faced embarrassment. nearly 50 of this number defied the leadership, voting for a brexit amendment that failed, with three shadow ministers fired over the vote. yet it was the government that was repeatedly on the ba

and the independent is in northern ireland. no ukip mps. for the first time, there are more than 200 female mps in the house of commons. let's go back to the challenge facing the conservatives. they are going to have to have a working relationship with democratic unionist party. they are short by eight, so we bring the democratic unionists in and we put their ten mps on to the government benches. and lo and behold, a majority of six. six is very slender. it's going to be very difficult to govern. they'll have to listen hard to what the party from northern ireland is asking for. and it's embarrassing, humiliating, for the prime minister, theresa may. and you can find out about the result in your constituency by visiting bbc.co.uk/election 2017, and going to the results section where you can put in your postcode to get the details. as we've heard, the gains made by labour across britain may in part have been driven by an increased turnout of younger voters. there's been a greater swing to labour in seats with a higher population of 18 to 2a y

still a few showers western scotland, northern england, northern ireland, but most will be dry by this stage. and temperatures at the highest sheltered from that breeze down the eastern half of the country, 19 or 20 celsius possible. let‘s take us into monday evening. we will see a dry start, but things will change. got a ridge of high pressure trying to build in from the south—west but, on the northern flank of it, we‘ll see these weather fronts push through during the night, bringing increasing amounts of cloud northern half of the uk to start tuesday. it won‘t be a cold start, by any means, but that cloud will bring the odd spot of light rain or drizzle. western scotland, northern ireland, hills north—west england in particular. eastern scotland, some good cloud breaks here. we could see temperatures into the high teens once again. and the further south you are, not only dry but some sunny spells, best of which will be on the south coast. into wednesday, we draw the air up from the south. we‘ll still see some rain at times in the north—west highlands and islands of sco

quite a few showers and northern ireland ‘s. thundery ones, lightning flashes across scotland, particularly north of the central belt. still a few sharp showers around at the moment across northern scotland and eastern parts of northern ireland. fading away before too long. a few showers lingering around some western coasts, but probably dry overnight. clear skies and light winds. co mforta ble clear skies and light winds. comfortable sleeping. 11 degrees minimum in towns and cities. two or three in rural parts. quite a bright and sunny start tomorrow but showers quickly gathering more readily across these western coasts, pushing eastwards through the day. developing more widely across scotla nd developing more widely across scotland and northern ireland. the showers could be heavy and thundery again in scotland. hit and showers could be heavy and thundery again in scotland. hitand mist maybe across more southern parts of the country. quite a few showers in the country. quite a few showers in the afternoon from northern ireland.

it isa back in power in northern ireland. it is a little over a week until the brexit discussions start. just take us brexit discussions start. just take us through what the dup's views on brexit are, and how closely they are aligned with the conservatives, and secondly, what other demands do you think they're going to make in return for supporting theresa may? on brexit, there is a reasonably neat match, in the sense that the dup favour brexit, but they're very concerned about the way brexit affects northern ireland and affects the irish border and economic aspects across the border. in all of that i think the dup reflects some of the things which the conservative party a nyway of the things which the conservative party anyway will need to think about in terms of brexit. i think the other two main demands will be, the other two main demands will be, the dup will be looking for very strong support against anything which seems to dilate the union. but also there will be specific aspects of getting extra funding for northern ir

so, scotland and northern ireland. so, scotland and northern ireland closest to low pressure. relatively unsettled. england and wales closer to high pressure, relatively settled. it's going to continue like that for sometime. heading out this evening, you may encounter outbreaks of rain in scotland, turning drier in northern ireland, where we have had showers, overnight in england and wales, it will be dry. clear spells here allowing it to turn cooler than this in rural spots in england and wales. some spots into single figures. perhaps the odd patch. most of us in england and wales tomorrow starting with blue skies. some cloud building though. it is not going to be clear blue sky all day long. perhaps an isolated shower. more cloud around in scotland and northern ireland compared to england and walesful these are your afternoon temperatures and there will be some pegged back into the teens. inland though, low to mid—20s. some spots in south—east england, upper 20s. again, an isolated shower possible. high uv again, an isolated shower possible. high uv and high pollen. sti

northern ireland trades a lot with the republic. a chaotic brexit would be bad for northern ireland. there would be a change there. also, the dup don't want special status for northern ireland, to bind it closer to the republic. they don't want people to appear less than british, needing passports to get to belfast. in terms of how things are going down here, there are complications. the british government in northern ireland is supposed to act with impartiality. the good friday agreement says the government should be rigourously impartial. you have to ask yourself, how can a conservatives secretary of state be impartial but also closely tied to the dup? thank you very much. talking to us from belfast this morning. borisjohnson has described newspaper reports that he is planning to oust theresa may as "tripe." the foreign secretary was responding to an article in the mail on sunday which claimed he was planning to launch a bid to become pm. earlier, the managing editor of the spectator told us a successful leadership challenge could

it opposes extending gay marriage and abortion rights to northern ireland. fundamentally, we did not expect to be in this position. but issues like these are unlikely to feature in talks with the conservatives. the dup‘s demands here will be overwhelmingly financial. they have a clear road map they set out in 2015, when they thought they would be in this position. there is very little in that about social policy. but this new relationship raises wider questions about the conservatives' role here. on monday, cross—party talks are due to get under way, aimed at restoring northern ireland's collapsed government. but how can a conservative secretary of state act as an honest broker at those talks when the conservatives are now so reliant on the dup? this deal has come more quickly than many expected, but tonight, the dup are revealing nothing about what they want in return for their support. but on brexit, the dup does not appear to share theresa may's view that walking away with no deal is a viable option. the pa rty‘s financial demands are likely to incl

owen paterson, former northern ireland secretary thank you. our correspondentjohn campbell is in our belfast newsroom. interesting he was seeing that dup the are insisting there are no red lines in their approach to getting power—sharing back in northern ireland. we have not heard a lot from the dup publicly about that? what they'll be looking for is a purely economic

alliance is the first openly cross community party in northern ireland and want to play a pa rt northern ireland and want to play a part in that. we want to hold those people to account to make sure we have a strong devolved government that works for all. one of the biggest issues in this election, and they do call it a brexit election, is the whole issue of brexit. it really matters because of brexit. it really matters because of that land border with the republic of ireland. lots of people calling for special circumstances. do you think that is reasonable? they can call for that but i think we need a holistic approach. we need to have that executive and have a strong voice about the difficulties northern ireland will face. as a party, we are opposed to a hard order because it will have a detrimental impact socially and economically. when you talk to people, they feel it is different in this part of the uk to other parts. is northern ireland really good to have a voice in those negotiations over brexit? it makes is difficult to have a voice at the table when we don't have a functioning

here's john campbell. the politics of northern ireland? political the politics of northern ireland? views here are fii’i and political views here are firmly held and slow to change. saturday morning ‘s for the last five years, unionist protesters have gathered at belfast city hall, opposing a council policy to reduce the numbers of days on which it flies the union flag, a decision may feel undermines their british identity. they welcomed the dup's new influence. i think northern ireland is in the best position, we could not have wished for anything better than a hung parliament. they should be asking to stop the witchhunt against people in the british army. what do people think dup should prioritise. the national health, the hospital is one of the most important. schools and welfare. i of the most important. schools and welfare. lam pleased of the most important. schools and welfare. i am pleased they are going into government with them. an executive for government in northern ireland. money is great but it does not answer all the questions. the dup isa not answer all the questi

, northern ireland of course and the republic of ireland post brexit northern ireland would be the only part of the uk with a land border with an eu country. currently, the republic of ireland and northern ireland are each other‘s biggest trading partners. so that is something that we can expect the dup will be discussing with theresa may as they try to hammer out an arrangement. let's talk now to our correspondent, john campbell, who is in belfast for us, he is bbc northern ireland's economics and business editor. i know you were saying to us earlier that of course many of the key demands of the dup in these discussions with theresa may are financial, but that issue of a deal on brexit is also going to be hugely important, isn't it? yes, since i last spoke to you i have spoken to some senior political sources in belfast and what they are saying about this is, look at the dup manifestos, there you will learn much about what is actually on their shopping list. when it comes to brexit they use language which is very ebullient and talks about the better the deal, the betterfor northern i

what is going to happen in northern ireland, public services must keep running, a budget must be set and for that to happen and the cash flow to keep coming into public services, at the very least ministers in london will have to raise the cash strings and take over giving northern ireland a budget. whether it will lead to a more sustained period of direct rule, that remains to be seen. the bank of england has warned against rising consumer borrowing and household debt, in its twice—yearly report about the uk economy. borrowing on credit cards and car finance are at their fastest rate in more than a decade. banks will also be forced to find a further 11 billion pounds in the next eighteen months, to protect their finances against the risk of bad loans. with consumer credit up by ten point three percent and car loans growing by fifteen percent, far faster than wages, banks are being ordered to set aside an extra eleven billion pounds incase those loans cannot be repaid. with me is matthew upton, head of consumer policy at citizens advice. good to see you. have lenders become complac

nota northern ireland as the price for joining... not a coalition but supporting the government on the budget and other major issues. what we are seeing here is an agreement that were supposed to happen last week and before the queen's speech, the dup is good at not many things but one thing they are good at is negotiating, they are going to wait until the last possible moment and get their pound of flesh out the government on this one. again, on top of the lords, the scottish parliament, so many hurdles thrown in front of this government right now, and i think tomorrow, we will have picking up the story much closer, at some point, somebody has to call an end to this. we thought the queen's speech was the end point, the deadline, that has passed! there is a vote on thursday when they have devoted for the queen's speech. in theory they will have that in place, this agreement, by then, frankly, we may not even haveit by then, frankly, we may not even have it then, because there is an agreement which is separate from the budget. it has

up between northern ireland and the south. i simply think you need to be very wary of what could happen and therefore be very cautious about what you do. that does concern me, quite apart from my other concerns about an agreement with the dup. if the government do form a deal with the government do form a deal with the dup and i can see that they might feel they have to, then it is doubly important, trebly important to consult on brexit widely, both in and out of parliament. i think if that were a joint announcement with any deal with the dup i think it would be very helpful because people would be very helpful because people would see that there isn't going to be disproportionate pressure from one part of the united kingdom, but that the government really are going to consult with other parliamentary parties, with business, and with others who have a direct interest in it. i think we have to recognise that the election changed, if not everything, a very great deal. the government are going to have to respond to that. the view

although for northern ireland, still some cloud around and scotland, again, the best will be the east for scotland and there we could see temperatures getting into the low 20s. a little warmer for northern ireland again, and certainly so across england and wales as we start to build up the warmth. sunday again we see the warmth building even further. we start to pick up more of a southerly in the south, so hopefully losing the misty low cloud but, again, the north—west of scotland is looking as if it could be persistently cloudy, with some rain at times. if you are finding the prospect of temperatures approaching 30 a little stifling, the sea is a little cooler at this time of year so those sea breezes will be refreshing. but the sun will be just as strong, even around the coast, it doesn't matter if it's 15 degrees or 25 degrees. and these are the uv levels through the weekend, as you can see, they are high for many parts of the country. the heat builds further as we head into the start of the new week, particularly in the south. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie s

it opposes extending gay marriage and abortion rights to northern ireland. fundamentally, we did not expect to be in this position. but issues like these are unlikely to feature in talks with the conservatives. the dup's demands here will be overwhelmingly financial. they have a clear road map they set out in 2015, when they thought they would be in this position. there is very little in that about social policy. but this new relationship raises wider questions about the conservatives' role here. on monday, cross—party talks are due to get under way, aimed at restoring northern ireland's collapsed government. but how can a conservative secretary of state act as an honest broker at those talks when the conservatives are now so reliant on the dup? this deal has come more quickly than many expected, but tonight, the dup are revealing nothing about what they want in return for their support. but on brexit, the dup does not appear to share theresa may's view that walking away with no deal is a viable option. the pa rty‘s financial demands are likely to includ

politics in northern ireland can be seen as very different. but households across the uk share many concerns about brexit and the final deal agreed during the next parliament will certainly have an impact on this land. chris buckler, bbc news, newry. and we'll also hear from northern ireland's other parties, the dup and sinn fein, before next week's vote. cricket now and england have beaten bangladesh in their group a clash in the champions trophy at the oval. in front of a 22,000 crowd bangladesh scored 305—6. despite an injured heel, joe root was england's highest—scoring batsman with 133 not out. he also scored the winning runs. the actor roy barraclough, who's best known for playing the landlord alec gilroy in coronation street, has died at the age of 81 following a short illness. roy barraclough also worked in a comedy double act with les dawson. our arts correspondent, david sillito, looks back at his life. i'll have it seen to. what about cloth was alec gilroy for more than 30 years —— roy barraclough. cloth was alec gilroy for
