if he is still on board, theresa may knows that voters will still... he has tasted himself into a corner. he is now the extreme brexit candidate and the principal opposition that she must deal with inside the party, even though he is nowhere near being a contenderfor leadership. he has painted himself ina leadership. he has painted himself in a corner. can appeal to the remaining site, he cannot appeal to the mainstream, he appeals to a small and hard—core wingnut on the backbenches, being the only people who would support in. and he has not resigned. his red lines have been crossed yet he is yet to resign. he has been forced, more and more, to accept things he said he would never accept. let's duck inside to chequers. susie, your paper takes us inside... i don't know which room, but it is a grand looking room, clearly not the small study at the back of the house. i think it is what you may refer to as a reception room. interestingly, they are gathered in the little groups and some have their jackets gathered in the little groups and some have theirj

that is not what theresa may wanted to hear either. again, and as i was listening to that, i was thinking what kind of intelligent and thoughtful analysis can i add to that conversation. don't talk yourself down! and the only word that sprang to mind was ouch. because you think, gosh! these two have shared a dinner this evening. we have seen the pictures, haven't we, from blenheim palace and the associated pomp associated with this kind of visit, even though it isn't technically a state visit. now, i don't know whether downing street we re don't know whether downing street were aware that this interview had been recorded in the hours prior to the dinner. i have actually been in touch with downing street this evening to see if they would offer themselves any reflections on president trump's remarks. but they hadn't yet ta ken president trump's remarks. but they hadn't yet taken the opportunity to reply, but one assume is they will wa nt to reply, but one assume is they will want to be a little bit more considered, perhaps, in their resp

he has warned that theresa may's brexit plan could kill any deal. the british government's blue print for its future relations with the eu was a different deal than the people voted on trump added that he told may how to do a brexit deal but she didn't listen to him hosting the president and first lady for a black tie dinner, where she pitched the case for a new trade relationship with the u.s. jeff is standing by near the prime minister's country and he will meet theresa may later this morning. trump may be on the move soon and first sandhursta as we've seen restrictions in place around the area 8:30 and 11:30 that seems that is where the president is heading this morning. >> interesting that's just part of the show and tell as far as this country and this working meeting is concerned the president's been treated to a slap up feast at a black tie event and inspect military facilities and globally respected center for turning out leaders in the armed forces and then, of course, he'll come on to the country prime minister residence and he will be her

jack, they concentrate on this idea of theresa may and her frail grip. how frail is it? it's been frail since the general election last year. that was the key moment when the brexit story changed, theresa may expected to get a big parliamentary majority to push it through with everything she wanted to do. strong and stable! would remember it well! of course the exact opposite has happened and her problem now is that she can't get anything through parliament. everything is a compromise, everything is fudging. the brexiteers pulling one way, the remainers anotherand brexiteers pulling one way, the remainers another and it's all about survival for her. sebastian, remainers another and it's all about survivalfor her. sebastian, you mentioned these four mps, had they voted the other way the government would have lost. and there would have been a vote of no—confidence and there would be talk of a leadership challenge which has been since borisjohnson leadership challenge which has been since boris johnson and leadership challenge which has been since borisjohnson and david d

both the president and theresa may came to the u.k. after the nato summit in brussels which had its rank or at moments as well. the president walking into a meeting this morning and basically saying you need to up your contributions to nato or the united states, it will make some changes of its own. they eventually got what they wanted and a new commitment financially and militarily to the northern alliance. it took some tough love to get there though. listen to what the president said earlier. >> they thought it was a great thing that i was doing it and they gave us their best wishes. though with that said we will see what happens. just a loose meeting, it's not going to be a big schedule, i don't think it will take a very long period of time. but we will see where it leads. it could lead to something very productive, and maybe it's not. >> the president they're actually talking about his upcoming summit with russian president vladimir putin. on monday, he has been roundly criticized for that at home, mostly democrats saying the presi

that's in his letter to theresa may. she and return said that she was sorry and surprised he had left. i'm joined by tom brake, the liberal democrat's brexit spokesperson. and extraordinary 30 hours or so for the government. what do you make of what's been unfolding? -- an extraordinary. you can look at it in two ways, may be the prime minister has consolidated her position. it's clear her appointments are those who voted remain and might be more in keeping with what she proposes. on the other hand, she has very serious brexiteers out there who may be starting to organise against her position. a new brexit secratary, dominic raab, who was someone who was in favour of leaving the european union. he is, in some ways, the only key figure who had that argument during the referendum debate. dominic raab is very much the 141 replacement for david davis, very much in the same old. although interestingly, of course, dominic raab's constituency voted heavily to remain soi raab's constituency voted heavily to remain so i don't kno

what a does president trump really think about theresa may and the hopes of a trade deal with the united states after brexit? >> today's been a day of mixedes mess and embarrassing timed interview with sun newspaper seemed to lay bare significant differences. >> a press conference with the prime minister may or may not have helped limit the damage. president trump: i give our relationship the highest level. p.m. may: i'm confident this transatlantic alliance will continue to be the bedrock of our security for years to come>. the president later met the useen at windsor castle. tens of tds of people marched in protest of the visit and donald trump himself. >> on the program, three days before mr. trump meets slap, -- vladimir putin, the u.s. investigators charge russia with meddling inhe u.s. elections. nouncer: national presentation of "beyond 100 days" is made possutle by contrns to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. katty: i'm katty kay in washington. there may be seral people breathing a sigh of relief to see the u.s. president go. it's been a tumultuous visit. the sub

forget brexit for a moment, theresa may was keen to talk up some good news. for a moment, theresa may was keen to talk up some good newsli for a moment, theresa may was keen to talk up some good news. i can report that the unemployment and bomb figures show employment has hit a new record. here, here. -- employment figures. an awkward silence, brexit is in deep trouble. ministers like the new brexit secretary seeds angry remainders barring his path or trying to. today the business secretary appealed to labour to resist backing every tory rebellion. what we need from the opposition is for them to recognise the national interest in having a good deal. almost everyone in this country good deal. almost everyone in this cou ntry wa nts to good deal. almost everyone in this country wants to see a good deal negotiated between britain and the european union, rather than edging for difference. the government has planned a route to brexit but it is ha rd planned a route to brexit but it is hard going. today the word has gone out from ministers, give compromise a chance. allow the brexit plan to

she called on theresa may by saying sorry. simply by apologising, the prime minister would send a message to anyone unexpectedly pregnant today that they ought to expect help and support, and never approbation. and mostly, she would send a message to every woman in this country that our past, where women were blamed and robbed of their power, is finally the past. alison mcgovern. the former foreign secretary, lord carrington, died this week. he was 99. lord carrington was the last surviving member of churchill's 1950s government. he took his seat in the lords in 1945 and became one of the longest serving politicians of the modern era. he famously resigned from margaret thatcher's government when argentine forces invaded the falkland islands in 1982. many peers wanted to pay tribute. a tory elder statesman recalled lord carrington‘s poetic talents. the last time i remember working with him, which wasn't very long, because he resigned, we attended a cabinet committee that was attended by the chairman of the coal board, lord ma

of course, theresa may had her chequers away day way —— of course, theresa may had her chequers away day where she set policy but that now all has to be voted on in the commons and lords and it has to be set out first and then decisions have to be made and legislation has to be passed. and i think that the adjustment and uncertainty and the fact of people switching sides, you had brexiteers who previously helped the prime minister now being her opponents and all of that being quite ugly and raw politics, was played out in the chamber today. it is in the interest of some brexiteers to use the chamber, to use the optics of uncertainty and chaos in the chamber to suggest that theresa may is struggling to get her brexit plan through the commons chamber. it is quite an effective tactic. i think you can be quite cynical about it. yes, there was some upset that the white paper wasn't handed to mps at exactly the right moment and maybe some journalists saw it beforehand, but ultimately, strategically, brexiteers want to make this process in parliamentary terms look like a mess and for there

the president, at theresa may's weakest moment. speculation on msnbc whether her government will fall, and then trump saying that she's mishandling brexit. for her, the most politically sensitive issue. he would say she's been soft on it. she would say -- her supporters would say that she's been more business-friendly, but the irony of this is that the brits tried to tee this up as a great victory lap for trump. as a little break between the craziness of the nato summit and the high stakes of the putin summit. we've seen these very, like, easy visits for him outside london, but he just wouldn't take it. >> mike, help us with psychoanalysis. difficult with this president in particular, but why do this? why take 30, 40 minutes to sit down with "the sun," a rupert murdoch tabloid and say what he said about theresa may knowing about the fallout from it? >> great point, and the largest circulating paper in britain and this is the president just not thinking about other leaders, not putting himself in the shoes of other leaders. just say

theresa may announced in june at wouldn't be here. theresa may announced injune at england's nhs was to get an extra £20 per year by 2021. -- £20 billion. was to get an extra £20 per year by 2021. —— £20 billion. they said that some of it would be from the brexit evidence. there was a famous claim that after brexit, money from brussels could be used to finance the health service. jeremy corbyn pressed theresa may for more details. they could be no brexit dividend before 2022, economic growth is the slowest since 2009, so which taxes are going up? the prime minister quoted an unnamed labour mp. he said we will use that funds returned from brussels after brexit to invest in our public services. it was him, the right honourable gentleman, the leader of the opposition! her figures are so dodgy they belong on the side of a bus. until this government can be straight with people where the money is coming from, why should anyone, anyone, anywhere, trust them on the nhs? for the 70 years of the nhs, 443 of these years, it has been unde

the morning after the general election, you would have said that theresa may, the expectations for theresa may, the expectations for theresa may's longevity were pretty low, and she is still there and likely to still be there in october. and nobody‘s ruling out whether she can actually get a deal and take britain out of the european union. if she does that, that's quite an extraordinary achievement with the majority. jeremy corbyn on the other hand was flying high, going to glastonbury and held the hero. he has not got labour i had in the polls, they are neck and neck and he is getting bogged down in rows over anti—semitism, which is terrible for the labour brand in the country. do you agree with that? british politics is incredibly polarised at the moment and it is like a stalemate. i think the outcome would be another hung parliament. neither party is pulling at the level it needs to be to be confident of winning a majority. i thinkjeremy corbyn will be released on brexit at least that labour have not been as dramatic as they could have been yet, and they are trying to pull off this

theresa may. the scottish parliament has now broken for the summer amid continuing tension with westminster over brexit. msps go off for recess just days after the first minister nicola sturgeon reshuffled her team for the first time since the holyrood elections in may 2016. with his end—of—term report from holyrood, here's our scotland political editor ryan taylor. big changes in the scottish cabinet and junior ministerial ranks, nine new faces in, some big names leaving the cabinet and from the lower ranks as well. nicola sturgeon, first minister, says she's refreshing the team entirely. a big change, a big development. also this week, we've had a big move at holyrood, the education bill has been shelved, that was a bill, a flagship measure designed to bring substantial changes to the way scotland's schools are run. it has been shelved, as i say. education secretary john swinney says he can get around that, he can follow a short—cut method of bringing further powers to scotland's head teac

but we are also focusing on theresa may checkers. we showed at the top of the show, sterling and where it may go in the various scenarios that theresa may gets the brexit plans together -- which of those do you think is most likely, and where would sterling go in that scenario? peter: i think it is likely she will get a plan. she has to go to otherwise, if we get no agreement this week and, frankly, we will go toward the edge of the cliff at a faster pace than we thought. will the bene casualties along the way? there is speculation that perhaps the big beasts of the brexit world may decide they want to quit. i think that would be positive for sterling because it will tell us the u.k. economy is at least putting together a plan that might be more acceptable to the rest of the eu and that can only be positive for the u.k. and should be welcomed by the rest of the eu. nejra: nonsterling up to134. even higher? it could be. i wouldn't put it as far as 140. nejra: thank you very much to peter dixon, global equities analyst for commerzbank.

what does theresa may do? she as -- why was she so polite to him after what he clearly said in the interview with the sun. i go es she's got enough fires burning. by the way, while you answer that i'm showing pictures of the president arriving at a version of marine one to be transported to his next location. they're closing the doors. >>reporter: i'd say you said there perhaps she's got so much on her plate that this trip doesn't matter. i'd say quite the opposite. this trip was meant to be a chance of aive is aing grace for her if it was a big success. you mention the "sun" article. why was that such an embarrass.? she has not wanted to protest this. she was relatively speaking one of his biggest supporters compared to the other leaders. she went out of her way to arrange a visit. he was in the middle of dinner when the wire headlines started to hit from the ""sun" article. did she smash some kind of victory from the jaws of defeat from the press conference? maybe a tiny one because things were walked back a

theresa may created this mess herself. she should have started with a position of strength towards eu. the eu was horrified by brexit. they were weak. they were expecting a very tough approach to them. so you think she should have taken the donald trump approach? that's what he said. of course. the trump approach was, you give us what we want or we leave. can you imagine if britain walks away from the eu? the eu would have collapsed. that was the point that he made to theresa may. that she should be strong. she decided to be weak. she decided to please everyone. that's why the mess which she created now. i fundamentally disagree with alkexander here, because really, theresa may's mistake in british political terms was she laid out a series of red lines which she could not deliver. so she's been in retreat from these red lines ever since the florence speech, and she goes on retreating and she's continuing to retreat. that appears to be disastrous. the reality is that she is in a very difficult position in the sense that she

she called on theresa may by saying sorry. simply by apologising, the promised would send a message to anyone unexpectedly pregnant today that they ought to expect help and support, and never approbation. and mostly, she would send a message to every woman in this country that our past, where women were blamed and robbed of their power, is finally the past. alison mcgovern. the former foreign secretary, lord carrington, died this week. he was 99. lord carrington was the last surviving member of churchill's 19505 government. he took his seat in the lords in 1945 and became one of the longest serving politicians of the modern era. he famously resigned from margaret thatcher's government when argentine forces invaded the falkland islands in 1982. many peers wanted to pay tribute. a tory elder statesman recalled lord carrington‘s poetic talents. the last time i remember working with him, which wasn't very long, because he resigned, we attended a cabinet committee that was attended by the chairman of the coal board, lord marshall

the same theresa may who he blasted in a tabloid

prime minister, theresa may. i think he is capitalizing on a moment that he believes is a moment of perceived weakness. i think the relationship between theresa may and president trump has been frosty to say the least as this escalated. thank you so much. we drive forward our conversation on bloomberg surveillance. we have another ambassador from the united kingdom. former ambassador united states also serving as ambassador to france and to turkey as well. peter westmacott join us this morning. thank you for finding time on this exceptionally unique day. in the johnoment adams television series were the claim actor paul giamatti as john adams goes in to meet the king after the revolution. stunning scene, at least for ugly americans like me. he backs out of the room. i'm assuming the president will not back out of the room today with the queen when they have tea. howr what we have seen, would the queen of england greek this president of the united states? peter: the queen has a lot of experience meeting with a lot

he also went on to say that theresa may isa also went on to say that theresa may is a good prime minister, and he hopes that his resignation will not spark any series of events that would lead to her being toppled. so what of those who are left? dominic raab, david davis' replacement, we will talk about him any second. let's hear from the health secretary who was on the radio this morning, doing his best to do what cabinet ministers have to do when one of their colleagues has resigned. the prime minister'sjob is notjust to get the support of the cabinet, which is what theresa may successfully did on friday, but also to get unity in the country on this very difficult issue. theresa may has to listen to the voices of businessed and people who are concerned about the implications of leaving the eu, and she is making a straightforward case that in order to deliver a successful brexit, there are going to be some compromises along the way. but what she is not prepared to do is compromise on her red lines, which michael gove is very clear that she hasn't done. the big question now is, what happe

theresa may and huand, philip, waited patiently to greet them. when the turmoil of brexit is finally over, this is the man she might be concluding a trade deal with. and the prime minister wants to make him feel welcome. a feeling not universally shared. >> racist trump has got to go. jon: at the gates, protesters gathered to make clear their displeasure at donald trump's visit. although this his middlewa england, and iall a bit sedate. tomorrow will be bigger, when the trump baby blimp will fly over the thames, and protesters promised tmake their voices heard. not that donald trump, before he left the summit in brussels, seemed overly worried. pres. trump: protests, there might be protests, but believe the people in the u.k. -- scotland, ireland -- i have property in ireland, propert all over -- i think that thosepe le like me a lot, and they agree with me on immigration. i'm we have nato, we have the u.k., and we have putin. i said putin may be the easiest of them all. you never know. but i'm going to a pretty hot spot right now, right? a lot o

if you enthusiastic supporter of theresa may? -- is he an enthusiastic supporter of theresa may? what can you tell us about dominic robb? hase know that dominic signed up for theresa may's plan. back to friday, theresa may was very confident because she had the goal of cabinet members and the company -- country, and they had all agreed on the plan. this is what they say that david davis cannot back. anyone who is in the cabinet has to vote with the prime minister, otherwise they quit. that is why they have these resignations today. dominic has signed up for this has to sign that he up for the plan. minister andrexit the working time director that limits the amount of hours for each week. he wants that to be scrapped. and that is not the view of the government. he is still likely to push for a hard brexit. but he signed up for theresa may's plan. anything can change in this government. scarlet: thank you for joining us from london. were watching the pound when all of this was going on. the british pound taking a leg lower after we got that johnson resignation. it has bounced a lit

where trees are male —— theresa may threatens to sack borisjohnson. male —— theresa may threatens to sack boris johnson. what male —— theresa may threatens to sack borisjohnson. what is interesting here is that there was a lwa ys interesting here is that there was always took she could lose members of the cabinet, cabs waiting outside for them to resign and leave. she seems to have held it together for 110w seems to have held it together for now at least. she has and i think thatis now at least. she has and i think that is good news. you never know what will happen in the future because, like we said, this is a negotiation that is going on with the eu and within her own government. there will be a number of people who are unhappy and the implications of some of what has been said are interesting. the idea we can have a customs union with the eu and still be able to do our own trade dealjust is not hang together. and that is actually what is still going to be irritating a number of brexiteers. and boris johnson will be very much one of them. we will probably be getting back to tha

then when theresa may we nt the country. then when theresa may went to david davis or whoever it was, they went to michel barnier, michel barnier knew he was up a unified country. today, we would have a deal which respected things in my view personally, things like eu citizens being able to stay here, things like a degree of control of borders. but making clear immigration is a big thing. in other words, trying to get a decent deal. instead what has happened is the establishment hated it, so they have sabotaged it. michel barnier has said that he doesn't need to do anything, he just keeps saying no and watch the remainders ruinous. but you have the brexiteers inside the tory party, i expected them to squabble, but i did not expect a foreign secretary to behave like this. if i was theresa may, i would have sacked borisjohnson a long time ago. but where he is right, and i hate to say this because i think he has behaved despicably, but where he has behaved despicably, but where he is right is when he says that the deal was on t

theresa may is under pressure to pay for the future relationship with the eu. the pace of the brexit talks needed to be intensified. after that, familiar weekend reports of infighting over brexit among conservative candidates. and on the subject of future uk customs arrangement with the eu. a plan that was unveiled at a crunch meeting at the country retreat and it proposed a common rule to avoid a hard border in northern ireland and the uk connected taxes on imports for the eu's behalf. the cabinet agreed the blueprint declared the collective responsibility in the cabinet responded. david davis resigned, boris johnson the following day to sign up for the prime minister's compromise. >> personal statement. >> theresa may's plan amounted to brexit in name only. >> we have time in these negotiations, changed tack once again. an independent self-governing, not the miserable permanent limbo, not the democratic disaster of ongoing harmonization with no way out and no safe for the uk. marymac despite the resignations and disagreement, would turn into the customs bill,

he's trying to make himself look strong while making theresa may look weak. i have a copy of that, so we have the dream is dying suffocated by needless self—doubt, the implication is that both self—doubt is that of the prime minister and not boris. not a man who does self—doubts. he has the strong argument based on his time as mayor of london when you tried to save the life of a female cyclist. effectively he was told he could not do until the eu legislated. that is againa do until the eu legislated. that is again a powerful political arguments. one could say this is like a manifesto for boris in terms of the brexiteer fighting like a manifesto for boris in terms of the brexiteerfighting back. like a manifesto for boris in terms of the brexiteer fighting back. few things on that, i think if boris had left say even on heathrow, not last december, if he had left then and saidi last december, if he had left then and said i cannot accept this i need to ta ke and said i cannot accept this i need to take the brexit—lite best as a backbencher. idiot left ove

that would suggest that theresa may is in charge. if she manages to ask -- to brexit minister coming into her cabinet, doesn't that show she is in charge? guest: nominally she has been in charge for the last two and a bit years as prime minister but years for thewo british cabinet to come to a single view on what to do. once they came to that agreement on friday, it was followed by resignations. she is a prime minister seemingly in office, but i am not sure how powerful she is. and ultimately, we have seen anmbles and chaos -- it is embarrassment frankly. ofn i talk to the heads governments of other member states of the european union, it is fashionable in the u.k. to say that they are trying to punish us for leaving but the truth of it is they want to know the position of our country. if we knew what that was, they say they could move forward. the fundamentals remain the same. we have a big problem. have, we wantwe to make sure that it does not lead to a hard border with ireland. currently, there is no solution for that conundrum. t

theresa may and husband, philip, waited patiently to greet them. when the turmoil of brexit is finally over, this is the man she might be concluding a trade deal with. and the prime minister wants to make him feel welcome. a feeling not universally shared. >> racist trump has got to go. jon: at the gates, protesters t gathered make clear their displeasure at donald trump's visit. although this his middle england, and it was all a bit sedate. tomorrow will be bigger, when the trump baby blimp will fly over the thames, and protesters promised to make their voices heard. not that donald trump, before he left the summit in brussels, seemed overly worried. pres. trump: protests, there might be protests, but i believe the people in e u.k. -- scotland, ireland -- i have property in ireland, property all over -- i think that those people like me a lot, and they e agree with immigration. i'm going to a few hotspots. we have nato, we have the u.k.,h and e putin. i said putin may be the easiest of them all.ow you never ght i'm going to a pretty hot spot right

someone from plymouth says theresa may has to go. charles has tweeted in saying good grief we must dig in and wait for the next president. lots of different opinions. donald trump is an absolute right to voice his opinion, but equally so do the protest as it will be taking to the streets in london today and elsewhere. this, from my perspective, this is not a demonstration against the united states, it is not a demonstration against the us people, a lot of americans i have been speaking to this week, friends in america, are delighted that many people are taking to the streets. this is a demonstration against a man who is perceived as a misogynist, a racist, and they don't like it. let us move on to this next article. it is in the independent, i believe. nato leaders rebut trump claimed that he forced them to spend on defence. this is on the back of the nato meeting and that extraordinary press conference. just to take a step back for a conference. just to take a step back fora minute, conference. just to take a step back for a minute,

may because a key awareness in brussels is that if theresa may were to fall 01’ is that if theresa may were to fall or her government were to be in real parliamentary trouble in london, than the process would be derailed and it is running on a tight timetable already and they are worried about running out of time so in that sense there is huge sympathy for her. kevin connelly in brussels, thank you. a senior government scientist has told the bbc it's unlikely that a nerve agent was left in the open before a couple from amesbury were poisoned by it last weekend. charlie rowley and dawn sturgess have been poisoned by the same nerve agent used on the former russian spy sergei skripal, and his daughter yulia, in march. they both remain in a critical condition in hospital. mr rowley‘s brother matthew has told the bbc that he is shocked by what's happened. he is my younger brother. i love him to bits. i don't want for anything to bits. i don't want for anything to happen to him. and yet, it has. how would you deal with it? you know? it's heartbreaking. it is. and you live here in wiltshire

but theresa may still left defending her strategy for brexit. and indeed, defending concerns that it could affect a future trade deal with the united states. in less than an hour, france will take on croatia in the world cup final. france are the favourites, but croatia have defied expectations so far. our paris correspondent, hugh schofield, is in paris for us now. hugh, i'm sure the excitement is mounting their on the streets of the capital. tension is mounting and excitement is mounting. we have come toa excitement is mounting. we have come to a cafe bar here, but we could have chosen any town, village or city in the whole of france, from the south to the north, you will have the same mixture of excitement, heat, alcohol, and generalfervour which is reaching a pitch which will beaat which is reaching a pitch which will be a at its culminating point in an hour or so when kick—off happens. it isa hour or so when kick—off happens. it is a phenomenally mass moment of excitement, and all i can say is that this far behind us, it is so full that

can theresa may sell it to our mps and brussels? the country expects england play sweden in samara for the chance to make their first world cup semi final in 28 years. it will be tough, sweden are a tough nut to crack. know what they are about and yes it will be tough. but england have enough. the country's expected to come to a standstill as millions of people watch the game in pubs and on big screens up and down the country. the boys trapped in a cave in thailand write letters telling their parents they are strong and not to worry. police investigating the poisoning of a couple in wiltshire warn the operation will take months to complete. and coming up... join me and a panel of guests on dateline london, we will be discussing that meeting on brexit and we look ahead to donald trump was mac uk visit. —— donald trump was mac uk visit. —— donald trump's uk visit. hello, a very good morning to you. welcome to bbc news. theresa may has warned her cabinet that she'll no longer tolerate public dissent over brexit following their

and theresa may is with angela merkel of germany. we can go live to the prime minister and german chancellor angel merkel who are addressing a news conference. (05) long—term prosperity is linked with security and we need to work together to tackle the common challenges such as corruption, organised crime and terrorism that deter investment and undermine confidence in the region. that is why i welcome commitments made today by the western balkans leaders to make sure they are countries work closely together to tackle corruption and organised crime. i also welcomed the continued commitment to resolve outstanding bilateral disputes and i want to extend a special welcome to the greek prime minister and paid tribute to him for reaching an agreement on the name issue showing that progress is possible. history has shown us that a stable and secure question balkans region means a more secure europe and that is why today i have announced an ambitious package of measures to help the region improve its collective security, stability and capa

the government in crisis as theresa may's brexit secretary resigns. david davis has quit, saying the prime minister's new brexit strategy is dangerous. i was the person who had to present it to parliament, to the european union, to everybody else. and, you know, if i don't believe in it, then i won't do as good a job as someone who does believe in it. the new brexit secretary is dominic raab — the former housing minister and leave campaigner we'll have reaction from brussels and the latest from westminster. also this lunchtime... another boy is reported to have been rescued from the cave in thailand where 12 children and their football coach have been trapped for a fortnight. a murder investigation is launched in wiltshire after the death of a woman exposed to novichok nerve agent. plans to put a charging point for electric cars in every new home in england. and the crowds pour into wimbledon for manic monday — with all the men's and women's last 16 singles ties taking place. and coming up on bbc news, england still look relaxed as the expectation

theresa may's weakness seems to be her strength. ever since the general election last year when she lost her majority in the house of commons and her vision ofa the house of commons and her vision of a hard brexit, having a clean break with the eu, she has stuck by that and she has survived by acting a bit like a crab, moving from side to side, not really moving forward, making little compromises and ever so making little compromises and ever so slowly edging towards a deal and bringing her party with her. but the fa ct bringing her party with her. but the fact is, those who voted against, they have another vote in the commons this evening, which the government lost, on remaining tied to the eu on medicinal issues, that vote was one that had wider support than the customs union thing. and the rebels don't have an alternative. there is no clear alternative. there is no clear alternative vision. no clear alternative vision. no clear alternative prime minister or even i'io alternative prime minister or even no clear alternative plan to

of course this is a new quagmire for theresa may to fall into. important thing to distinguish is that david davis and boris johnson, whether leading lights in the brexit referendum campaign, they were not actually that close to the negotiations. david davis famously came out earlier this year that he only spent four years negotiating with his counterpart. what in reality happen is that number 10 is taking back control , to coin a phrase, of the brexit negotiations and they were really doing most of the work. nonetheless, this is bad news for theresa may, because it is taken two years, the cabinet finally agree on a position and it did not even last 48 hours before two of the main ministers in the cabinet resigns. we still might see more going. minister resigned and for theresa may, it's a question of will be hard right be able to launch a leadership challenge? and if they do that and potentially topple theresa may, what does that mean for the country? the thing is the hard brexit like people like boris johnson said they want, there is no parliame

is that what theresa may did today in the press conference? >> i think there was quite a lot of patching up going on. i think that trump and probably theresa may broke the ice between them with the beginning when he perhaps was surprised by the impact which "the sun" interview had had. said i'm sorry about that i am sorry if it was hurtful and she dismissed it oh, well, that 1 just the media for you. and off they went and started discussing many of the issues that were on their agenda. but of course in his press conference with theresa may, he resaid in slightly more polite terms many of the things which he had said in that sun oig interview. so he is not particularly contrite about it and he didn't change his lines on immigration or the european union or anything else or on boris johnson for prime minister about that but i think nevertheless that she will feel that the relationship was repaired, she will be pleased with how the press conference went. he praised her enormously for her job and how much they got to know each other and what a won

theresa may trying to hold onto her position. she's lost nine cabinet members i think in recent days. do you think is the president going to come here and tell her that he supports her? that he wants her to hold on to her prime minister ship? >> i think he's going to stress the importance of having great britain as an ally, because they are our most trusted an important ally. we do so much together that helps our ability to carry out our missions around the world. they are a good ally, so we are working and we have a lot in common with prosperity. i don't know if you noticed, we have a million jobs here by american companies, and a million jobs by british companies. as a gigantic relationship very >> martha: what you think about brexit and the fight that's going on? >> it really boils down to sovereignty. if you can't control your borders, you lose a certain amount of that national sovereignty, which i think he feels is very important. but i think the way the president is going to come out is that he firmly believes that a bilate

even lecturing theresa may. are you ready to resign. calling the prime minister's ideas crazy and not resigning was pushing it. may loyalists thought. . this is back seat driving. yes. i hope my collea g u es seat driving. yes. i hope my colleagues will get behind her in the same way. but that wasn't the borisjohnson way, the crossing the globe as foreign secretary was. the salutes and the silly media stunts that only he knew. and the boris johnson way owed nothing to conventional ideas of collective responsibility as when he rubbished the notion of a brexit compromise. last month he was quoted saying if business didn't like brexit, f—business. and he was in afghanistan when mps voted on heathrow expansion, which he opposed. at chequers he got earthy, very bluntly saying selling the brexit compromise to polishing a turd. boris's dreams of leader ship are no secret. but his fortunes have dropped. but his fortunes are tied into the future of theresa may's brexit plan and her hopes of coming through this with her leadership intact. hard

on this issue on theresa may's plan to withdraw the european union. they don't think she's going far enough. what he said will be welcomed by many parts of the u.k. the second thing to remember is president trump has been an advocate for brexit for a long time and i think he sees this in america's interest. cheryl: that is very true. thank you for being with us. we appreciate your time and theirs. you want to tune in early two "fbn:am" on monday. we will have special live coverage of the trumpet and saw that there will, blythe at 4:00 a.m. eastern time. following that meeting, chris wallace will be sitting down with the russian president for an exclusive interview. a lot happening. gerri: wow, it's going to be important. rising fuel costs weighing in on delta airlines after record earnings report. cheryl: tracee carrasco has that story another headlines. >> good morning. we were buried this happened, but delta says it will raise fares and i'd fewer flights and then because those surge prices. delta posts better-than-expected second-quarter earnings wh

about theresa may. he adjusted himself a little bit and said something positive about germany and angela merkel. he seems to like to stir things up for no apparent purpose. vonnie: this is true. does it end up with warmer relations? he says something and walks it back. he leaves with everybody pretending to be happy. does that make for a good long-term relationship? >> clearly it is destabilizing. that is unfortunate and unnecessary. the good news is that american institutions, our congress, our secretaries of state and defense, national security maintainare working to the traditional, strong and positive for the united states relationships on an even keel. they cannot quite keep things calm but can repair some of the damage. vonnie: what do you think the u.s. will try to gain from the meeting with vladimir putin next week? vladimir putin will have an agenda. what will the u.s. walk away with or without? >> it depends upon what president trump wants to do with the meeting. unlike all of his senior advis

this week: theresa may's pragmatic brexit receives the approval of mps by a whisker. does a no—deal exit from europe now look more likely? and did the president mis—speak, or is he trump the traitor? to discuss all that, with me agnes poirier of the french magazine marianne, polly toynbee, columnist with the guardian, iain martin, whose columns appear in the times, and the irish broadcaster brian o'connell. a warm welcome to all of you. living in brexitland does sometimes feel like being on the other side of the looking glass. how's this for starters — one of theresa may's ministers resigned this week because he wanted to support her chequers brexit plan, but said he was being ordered to vote against it. part of that plan was approved by a majority of just three in a house of commons of 650 — and then only because three mps from the labour opposition supported her, and the leader of the liberal democrats, another opposition party, told by his party managers it wouldn't be a close vote, went off for dinner instead. iain, in alice in wonderland, the red queen li

and then he went on to shower praise on theresa may. she's smart, she's determined, she's tough, she's a great negotiator. this incredible woman doing a fantastic job. and so on and so on. it's almost like he wants to have the prime minister on one side of him but have the alternate prime minister, mr. johnson, also in his mind. i mean, it was an extraordinary news conference. he talked about the special relationship at the beginning in scripted remarks as an indispensable bond and so on. he said he didn't criticize the prime minister. in fact, he called that newspaper interview fake news. now, it's really interesting because that newspaper interview was recorded and it was on the record. so i'm sure the murdoch owned so many newspaper group which has a recording, we've all heard that recording, will produce that to rebut what trump says. he said at one point the prime minister will agree with me we have a good relationship with russia, at which point theresa may pointedly pursed her lips and looked away. so, you know, even though they

lets start with the times which leads with theresa may promising senior allies she will sack foreign secretary borisjohnson if he undermines the brexit deal. the financial times highlights the five cabinet ministers including borisjohnson meeting on thursday night to plan a counter—attack to preserve a clean departure. cabinet signs up to may's brexit says the telegraph — as her 16 ministers agree the plan to keep close ties with eu after a day locked away at chequers. the mail leads with theresa may's warning that settling for a soft brexit could cost the conservatives the next election. and the mirror lead with england captain harry kane's band of brothers as the national team prepare for their crunch clash against sweden in the quarter finals of the world cup. that is a flavour of what they're saying. a lot of brexit and a lot of football, in the next 12—13 minutes. brexit first, your paper first comic cabin fines brexit first, your paper first comic cabinfines up brexit first, your paper first comic cabin fines up to make's deal. -- cabinet signs up. marvellous away day for

in the last few minutes, theresa may's cabinet is in theresa -- is in chaos right now. ramy: and there is speculation that theresa may say -- that theresa may might not last this week herself. with what is happening with the trade war or whatever you want to call it between u.s. and china, we are looking ahead to see if another $16 billion in terrace will be pushed on china from donald possibly $550told billion. it seems that the -- that it is not that bad right now, but this is a newly developing, volatile situation. markets, at least for now, what terrorists? -- what- terrace tarriffs? perhaps investors are taking some hope from the economic fundamentals. quicker pace than expected. earnings estimates continue to climb, which makes it more compelling to get back in current valuations. we are seeing gains for the cost up.p -- kospi and the yen risk barometer is looking steady. we are keeping a close eye on pound crosses. cable fell below 133. bulls are nervous around what is going on around the resignation of david davis. said theresa may's policy is more likely to bre

they took their anger out on theresa may. they said she shouldn't have been as welcoming to president trump. the u.k. parliament is in turmoil right now. now more than ever people are saying that they need the batting of their closer ally, the u.s. and what happened behind me might have not been the tactic to take. >> and you mentioned the words. >> yes. president trump gave an interview to the sun newspaper where he said this is a mistake not to treat a valuable partner well. but going back in the past, he's blamed -- khan is a muslim and the president suggested some of his policies may have facilitated or led to some of the terror tactics here. there's no love between the two of them. that has doubled up again here today, rick? >> rick: thanks, benjamin. up next, more on president trump's next stop, helsinki to meet with president putin. we'll talk about what both men stand to gain or lose in the summit. i thought i married an italian. my lineage was the vecchios and zuccolis. through ancestry, through dna i found out that
