Tonight at 10, jobs and prosperity must come first in any Brexit deal -

the Chancellor spells out his priority.

Mr Hammond said that while people had voted to leave the EU,

they hadn't voted to make themselves poorer.

The Bank of England echoed the Chancellor's remarks,

which are seen as a signal that he wants a change of emphasis

But it must be done in a way that works for

Britain, in a way that prioritises British jobs and underpins Britain's

Mr Hammond also insisted that migration needed to be managed,

On the eve of the Queen's Speech, and in the week the formal Brexit

talks got under way, the Chancellor has defined his own

Phillip Hammond said that jobs and economic prosperity had

to be the priorities in the Brexit talks,

and he stressed that immigration needed to be managed,

Mr Hammond said that while people had voted to leave

the European Union, they had not voted to

The Chancellor's comments, in the City of London,

were welcomed by some business leaders, as our Economics Editor,

A year on from the referendum, and cars waiting in sunny Southampton

for a journey to the continent of Europe.

Exports to the European Union like these are a key driver of

our economy, an economy the Chancellor said will now be at the

heart of those complicated Brexit negotiations.

Speaking at the Mansion house in Central London,

Philip Hammond said without a flexible deal with the EU,

When the British people voted last June, they

did not vote to become poorer or less secure.

They did vote to leave the EU, and we will leave the EU.

But it must be done in a way that works for Britain, in a way that

prioritises British jobs and underpins Britain's prosperity.

Alongside Mr Hammond today, the Governor of the Bank of England.

He said that Brexit was likely to make

people poorer and that there would need to be a

transition period after the completion

A Monetary Policy Committee cannot prevent weaker growth

that is likely to accompany the transition to new trading

It can support households and businesses, as they adjust to such

Here is the Bank of England, and about two miles down

And the leaders of those two institutions, I think, came together

today to make one big point about Brexit.

Put the economic wealth of Britain first, they both said.

Even if that means some sacrifices on

most controversial issues of sovereignty and strict

But from Mr Hammond's on colleagues, a reminder of why

We want to ensure that business gets access to the labour that it needs,

but there is also a strong worry amongst people in Britain that

people are coming to the United Kingdom,

using our public services, who may not be contribute

That is the problem of the government will deal with,

and we'll deal with that in a reasonable way over a period

There were plenty of warnings today from the Chancellor and

Higher prices, struggling consumers, the need for a good Brexit deal.

And even those who see bold opportunities ahead, are aware

I don't think there is any doubt since the budget

Now it's glass half full or glass half empty.

Clearly that has meant there is higher inflation, and that has

had a knock-on effect for real incomes.

But on the other hand, there has been a much-needed boost

We really did need that boost because the currency

It was a day for stepping back and taking the wider

An economy for consumers so uncertain, Mr Carney

said there would be no interest rate rises in the near future.

But there could be more squally weather ahead.

Our Deputy Political Editor, John Pienaar, is at Westminster.

John, thoughts first of all on this contribution by Philip Hammond and

what it signifies? It was an assertion of new-found and in some

ways unexpected authority. Philip Hammond did not contradict the

government line but he did take on the hardline view of some Brexiteers

in the party and the Cabinet. He set out his own vision for, for example,

a transition period on the way to Brexit, long enough to satisfy

business that has been shielded from the impact. That included long

enough to deal with migration numbers. So no rush to cut migration

onto British workers have the skills necessary to fill the jobs that

bring in migrant workers. We have seen how Phil Hammond, a man who

might have been sacked had Theresa May got the result she hoped for,

instead he is a powerful player. As for Brexit, the outcome of that

story, nobody can really say. Here we are on the eve of the Queens

speech were the government is God is set out its latest is the plans,

what should people look out for a? A government programme which will be

shorn of anything likely to lead to on timely embarrassing government

defeat. Instead we will see a government programme with a positive

view of Brexit running through it like the lettering through a stick

of rock. They will be a measure to bring back to Britain lawmaking

powers. Measures on the economy, security, fairness. In other words,

the kind of positive vision that a lot of Tories which is now they had

to spread during the election campaign and that might have led to

a more positive result. We will never know if they are right about

that. But they are having to live with the result of a poor campaign.

Relative weakness and great uncertainty at a time of great

national chains. John Pienaar there. Police are still questioning a man

in connection with the attack on Muslim worshippers

in North London. Darren Osborne, who's

47 and from Cardiff, was arrested on suspicion

of terrorism offences. Nine people were taken to hospital,

and one man, who had been taken ill before the attack,

died at the scene. The attack has led to renewed calls

for the government to review changes to police funding,

as our Home Affairs Correspondent, You have to lift the ban. The chaos

caused by the attack on Sunday night was captured in these dramatic new

pictures. A hired van had ploughed into a group of people marking the

holy Muslim month of Ramadan. Nine ended up in hospital and one man

died. Amongst the crowd were Abdullah and his 13-year-old son.

Today they were recovering at home in their garden. Because it he has

little English, his son spoke for both of them. I saw and angry driver

in the van, in a company van. He looked at the Muslims. He drove

through and hit seven or eight people. One was underneath a van. My

dad got hit on his shoulder and next to his legs the hired van ran over

this man's foot and ankle, breaking them both. He was allowed home from

hospital today. Andy told me he had been trying to help the man who died

when he was hit. I fall down. And I see the guy bleeding on the head.

Another guy lying next to me unconscious. So I stood up to try to

help those guys. When I stand, I fall down. The other guys came to me

and said, the guy is going to strike again. This was a cold, calculated

cruelty to cause chaos and to divide communities. Witnesses have told us

the van came down the road at speed, turning into this cul-de-sac and

knocking down the worshippers as it came through. It then came to a rest

between those two bollards. Bob Ballard that it hit has been moved.

When it came to a stop, a young man was trapped underneath the van. He

has survived. The suspected driver, Darren Osborne from Cardiff, is

being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorist

offences. When he was grabbed by bystanders at the scene, the local

imam intervened, explaining today why he wanted to deliver the suspect

safely to the police. Add anything happened to him, then extra

bloodshed does not deliver justice. To the families. And it provides no

answers. As the horror of Sunday night sinks in, there are

suggestions the government may be rethinking changes to police funding

that would affect the larger forces like London's Metropolitan Police.

We are stretched. And I am talking with the mayor and I'm talking with

the government about the resources that we need to get, I believe, in

the future. After three months of terror, the government's approach

the police funding may be starting to change. Daniel Sandford, BBC

News. Belgian police say a man who caused

a small explosion in the central train station in Brusssels,

has been shot. No one else is believed

to have been injured. The central station and a nearby

square were crowded with tourists at the time, but they've

since been evacuated. Police say the situation

is under control. Our correspondent,

Damian Grammaticas, is at the scene. What is the latest on what happened?

What we have heard is from a witness who was in the station at the time

it happened. It was almost exactly 8:45pm local time. He said it was

moderately busy. This man saw a device, something on the ground,

burst into flames. There was an ignition. He said there was not an

explosion. It was almost as if some kind of trigger device went off but

nothing else exploded. There was a burst of flames. This package caught

fire. What we then heard, that witness left the scene very quickly.

He didn't see anybody injured. The deputy station master has said he

saw a man running from the scene, leaving the scene quickly, turn, go

back into the station. Then the security forces, who were there very

quickly, opened fire on an individual they believed to have

carried out the debtor nation. Shot him, wounded him. What we have heard

is that bomb disposal teams were sent in. They examined this

individual, who was wounded on the ground, to make sure there were no

more explosives before he was then taken to hospital. We understand

that individual survived the shooting. We're waiting for some

more information from police. They sealed the area off. It is under

control and calm in the streets around.

Damian, thank you. The emergency response team

dealing with the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire,

in West London, has said all the survivors have been found

temporary accommodation. Earlier today, it said a third

of a million pounds had Nearly a week on from the disaster,

in which at least 79 people died, our special correspondent,

Lucy Manning, has been talking to some families

about their experiences. This time last Tuesday,

meals were being eaten, Now, it's a place where families

are lost, where those who survived can't return,

and they are still Will Thompson helped

save his neighbour from the fire, he's been given a hotel room

to live in. A hotel's a hotel

and a home's a home. No matter how good they treat us

in a hotel, it's not my home. This is a week, almost

a week after the fire, Yesterday we met Miguel Alves

in his hotel room, today it's no They threw me out from the hotel

because it was fully They gave us another hotel

in Earl's Court and now we have to move everything back to Earl's

Court. You know, if we could find

somewhere more permanent, a more permanent place to stay,

to try and get back to some It will give us some time to mourn

over the friends that Nina Massaroh walks with her

suitcase, she lived in the estate Besides being a refugee

in my own community, I'm taking my suitcase home to go

and get some clothing, some more school uniform

bits for my children. So I'm now in a hotel, you know,

with my children, who are studying, who are going through exams

and through a lot of trauma. They're having

counselling themselves. We need someone to

categorically tell us - The help for survivors does now

seem better organised, but it's taken a week to get

here and there are still major concerns about housing, about safety

and especially about trust. I would not say that we're on top

of the situation because this task is enormous and an issue

that is incredibly important We've only just started, I think,

really reaching into the community. And everywhere here the pictures

that are too much to bear. The children and their teacher

of Avondale Park Primary - Nadia, Zeinab, Fatima,

Firdaws, Yakub and Mierna, Barclays, and four of the bank's

former senior executives, have been charged with committing

fraud during the financial The charges relate to the way

the bank raised billions of pounds from investors in Qatar,

which meant that Barclays was able to avoid being resuced

by the British taxpayer. The former chief executive,

John Varley, is among those due to appear in court next month,

as our business editor, Charged with criminal conduct,

Barclays and four members of the bank's top brass,

including former Chief Executive John Varley and former head

of Barclay's Middle Eastern This is the first time senior

executives of any British bank have faced criminal proceedings

for their conduct during While the UK Government was busy

using taxpayers' money to rescue RBS and Lloyds,

Barclays came here, to Qatar, for emergency

cash to keep it afloat. In 2008, Barclays raised

a total of ?12 billion from Middle Eastern investors,

including Qatar Holding, There was a sweetener,

?332 million was paid to Qatar for advisory services,

payments that weren't disclosed. Not only that, but Barclays lent

?2 billion to Qatar Holding Lending others money

to buy your shares is illegal. So why did Barclays turn

down Government money? The Chief Executive at the time,

and one of the people charged today, The circumstances were

very far from normal. We needed speed, we needed certainty

and we needed size and, looking back on it, I have to say,

given the extreme fragility of the sentiment in the markets

at that time, I am very glad indeed that we managed to raise the capital

that we did raise at that time. Government ministers at the time

have a different explanation. Barclays did not want

to have anything to do I believe that was partly

because of a political view that this would look like creeping

nationalisation and also, quite frankly, because the UK

Government's money came with quite Now, if it's proven that crimes

were committed here, to some it still won't be clear

who the victims were. Customers weren't affected,

the taxpayer didn't have to shell out and shareholders in Barclays did

better than shareholders in RBS or Lloyds, but others will say rules

are rules and if this approach of prosecuting individuals

as well as institutions helps change a stubborn culture throughout

banking of not following those Now we're starting to move to a more

American approach where individuals are in the frame for doing things

wrong within the business world. That is likely to concentrate

people's minds and make them think about -

is what I'm about to do a really sensible thing if it's

going to be me standing in the dock? Fraud convictions can carry

sentences of up to ten years, Roger Jenkins and another defendant,

Richard Boath, have said they will John Varley is yet to comment

and Barclays, the company, said Britain is heading for its longest

heatwave since 1995, according to the Met Office,

and it's possible that tomorrow could be the hottest June

day since 1976. But there's also a risk of very

heavy rain or thunderstorms. Extreme weather is also

causing problems in other countries including France,

Spain and Portugal and our science editor, David Shukman,

has been Considering the latest evidence on

these volatile weather conditions. The terrifying sight of one

of the most aggressive forest fires As a heatwave took hold,

whole families had been More than 60 people in all have

died, and the fires have advanced "There was a massive noise",

says this survivor, "We'd never seen anything like it",

according to this man. "It all happened in

just a few seconds." Here in Britain, the heatwave

is far less dangerous, but it is disruptive,

delaying trains as the rails have buckled and forcing speed

restrictions to be imposed in many A road in Cambridgeshire,

damaged as the temperatures have risen and then stayed high

day after day. All because of a pattern of weather

in which hot air has been flowing towards us from record-breaking

conditions in southern Europe. The heatwave in Britain is not

exceptional, but it does come as temperatures

on average are rising. The Met Office says that we're

getting more hot days and more hot nights and the warm nights make it

hard to sleep and also mean buildings and streets

don't cool down. The scientists say we'd

better get used to this. The UN climate panel says

more heatwaves are very likely and a new study,

just published, says 48% of the world's population face

deadly heatwaves by the end of the century and that's assuming

we cut the greenhouse gases In Arizona, a heatwave

with a surprising impact. At Phoenix Airport, one

of the busiest in the world, some planes are grounded

because the temperature reached 48 degrees Celsius and that's too

hot for them to fly, Global temperatures are rising,

largely due to our emissions of carbon dioxide and other

greenhouse gases That means that our average

temperatures in the UK, Which means that when we get

the weather conditions for causing a heatwave,

like we're seeing now, it means that heatwave is hotter

and we're going to see more of them. With heat warnings across Europe,

tourists struggle to shelter from the sun in Bordeaux,

fountains offer some There are of course ways

of coping with a heatwave, fans are in huge demand in Portugal,

but if the scientists are right, scenes like this

will soon seem normal. The incoming leader of Hong Kong has

told the BBC she can't guarantee that freedom of speech will protect

those who call for Carrie Lam is the chief

executive-elect of the former British colony, which is about

to mark 20 years since She's been talking to our China

editor, Carrie Gracie. 20 years since Hong Kong returned

to China, and its leaders are often They're chosen not by the public,

but by an establishment committee, How can you claim to represent

all the people of Hong Kong Well, I don't think

it is a question of a number. I know perception is important,

but to say that I am just a puppet, I won this election

because of pro-Beijing forces is, sort of, a failure to acknowledge

what I have done in Hong Kong over I have pledged that,

as part of my governance style, I will be engaging all sectors

of the community, Three years ago, young people

made their own effort to engage with a massive democracy protest

that brought the heart of Hong Kong They won nothing, and now some say

the only way to get democracy Beijing sees such calls as a threat

to national security. I think Hong Kong is

an inseparable part You think so, what if other

Hong Kong citizens disagree? What if they wanted

to call for independence? They disagree in the form

of being an expression of personal opinion,

then everybody could have a view. But whether that expressing a view

constitutes an offence, then we'll have to look

at what the law says. We'll have to look

at what the law says. Can you promise the people

of Hong Kong that never in your tenure will someone go

to jail for calling for autonomy, Well, I can promise the people

of Hong Kong that we will abide So that's a no, you can't

make the promise? How can you promise when you don't

know the actual situation, when you don't know the actual

legislation in Hong Kong and to give a, sort of,

perpetual situation answer, I don't think that is a very

fair question to ask. China's influence in

Hong Kong is growing - Last year there was public outrage

over the suspected abductions of publishers whose books

were critical of Chinese leaders. They were held on the mainland

and forced to make Even after their return

to Hong Kong, most have stayed The Hong Kong police force have been

working on this case and trying to collect evidence and come

to a view. But unfortunately,

without the co-operation of the people involved,

it's just not possible. So do you think it's possible

that those Hong Kong citizens are afraid to speak up

about what happened to them, So how many Hong Kong citizens need

to disappear before you start to draw any conclusions

about what might be We are not here to quantify

that sort of allegation, but if there are worries that have

been undue interference into Hong Kong affairs,

which should come under a high degree of autonomy, then

the Chief Executive has to reflect those sentiments and speak up

on behalf of the people. So would it be fair to imagine that

you might have a conversation with President Xi which goes -

please, make sure that no security services from the mainland operate

undercover on Hong Kong soil? Will you be having

that conversation? I will be very honoured

to have a conversation with President Xi on occasions,

hopefully on the 1st July. Carrie Lam, thank you so

much for joining us. Carrie Gracie there our China

Andy Murray, has been knocked out He was there to defend

his championship title, but lost in straight sets

to Jordan Thompson, ranked 90th in the world,

as our correspondent For Andy Murray, a return

to the grass courts of London normally spells success,

but his hopes of a record sixth His opponent, Jordan Thompson,

was a late replacement, Murray was strangely error-strewn,

come a first set tie-break, COMMENTATOR: And

Thompson has it now. That wasn't in the script,

and it didn't get any better. Thompson, the world number 90 no

less, conjuring the performance of his life, while Murray's

customary precision COMMENTATOR: They've

called it out now. The outcome - one of the biggest

shocks in the tournament's history and for Murray,

plenty to think about. Obviously, I didn't play

how I would like today and that's something that,

you know, I'll speak to about with my team, get back

to work and prepare for Wimbledon. And with less than a fortnight

until that Wimbledon title defence, he'll be hoping this is his summer's

only early exit. Sam Mendes is the Oscar-winning

director who's responsible for what many critics say

is the biggest stage triumph of the year, The Ferryman,

in 1981, in a farmhouse, There's a party atmosphere

as they rev up for the annual But an unwelcome visitor

will change the tune It is the life force that's

in the play, it's overpowering. That sense that it's people

struggling to make sense of their life that you get

with the greatest drama. That they're just trying

to find out why they're And in a world where we're doing

that all the time at the moment in the face of violence,

in the face of living with violence and terrorism,

to see a story about a family struggling with those very things,

however far away it now seems, 30 years ago,

it still feels very contemporary. Paddy Considine and Laura Donnelley

play the flirtatious brother and sister-in-law in this new play

by Jez Butterworth, who does Is it almost an

out-of-body experience? I know it's working when I'll

have the least to do with it, where you're just clinging

on for dear life. I obviously have devices

and I have a sense of structure that But really, if I'm overly doing

that, it's going to end up You've got to make these

things fly and they have Jez Butterworth worked on the Bond

film Spectre with Sam Mendes, Movies are in a parlous

state at the moment. You're either making a $200 million,

or you're making a movie for $5 million and there's very

little in between. So you can't make the movies

you necessarily want to make? I think it's more difficult to find

them, yes, much more difficult. I mean, look, I couldn't

make American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Jarhead,

Revolutionary Road now and release them in cinemas,

nobody would pay for them. Maybe it's the case of film's

loss is theatre's gain. Sam has an extraordinary ability

to just organise a thousand things in front of you,

that are all going wrong, Look, if it makes it better,

it's still got my name on it! Come the award season, there's

a good chance his name will also be The Play of the Year they say. The
