The Prime Minister insists she intends to fight

:00:00.:00:07.

On a visit to Japan, Theresa May said there was no truth

whatsoever to reports she would stand down

I'm here for the long term and it's crucial,

what me and my government are about is not just

about delivering Brexit, we are delivering a brighter future

Theresa May has insisted that she intends to stay on to fight

:01:37.:01:40.

The Prime Minister - who is visiting Japan -

:01:41.:01:44.

told the BBC that there was 'absolutely no basis whatsoever'

:01:45.:01:46.

to reports that she would stand down in two years' time.

:01:47.:01:50.

She said she was here for the long term.

:01:51.:01:52.

She was speaking to the BBC at the start of a three

:01:53.:01:56.

day visit to Japan - during which she is hoping to ease

:01:57.:01:59.

concerns about Brexit and prepare the way for a trade agreement.

:02:00.:02:01.

From there our political correspondent Ben Wright reports.

:02:02.:02:07.

Edi, abedy, Abedi, This report contains some flash photography.

:02:08.:02:15.

It's Theresa May's first visit to Japan as Prime Minister.

:02:16.:02:17.

She doesn't plan on it being her last.

:02:18.:02:19.

Wearing the colours of the country's flag, this visit is a reminder that

:02:20.:02:22.

Brexit is not just about fractious talks in Brussels.

:02:23.:02:27.

It's about reassuring long-standing allies and investors beyond the EU.

:02:28.:02:29.

But Theresa May also revealed her ambition here, and had

:02:30.:02:35.

Is it your intention to lead the Tory party

:02:36.:02:40.

What me and my government are about is not just

:02:41.:02:50.

We are delivering a brighter future for the United Kingdom.

:02:51.:02:56.

It is the first time Theresa May has been so blunt about her plans to

:02:57.:03:03.

fight the next election and her Foreign Secretary today seemed

:03:04.:03:08.

enthused at the prospect. I'm giving my back tooing Theresa May. We need

:03:09.:03:14.

to get Brexit done. She is ideally placed to deliver a great outcome

:03:15.:03:20.

for our country. By the next general election, Britain will be out of the

:03:21.:03:24.

EU, the question is on what terms and the Japan's Prime Minister wants

:03:25.:03:29.

to know more about the UK Government strategy. Over three decades more

:03:30.:03:37.

than a thousand Japanese firms have established in Britain. Not just the

:03:38.:03:41.

big three car makers, but manufacturers and banks. Both ways,

:03:42.:03:46.

it is a relationship that matters. But some of Japan's banks are

:03:47.:03:51.

worried their access to EU markets could suffer. Some financial

:03:52.:03:58.

institutions have announced that they prefer moving certain number of

:03:59.:04:05.

operations from London to Europe, to retain the single passport within

:04:06.:04:10.

the EU. Do you still think that no deal is better than a bad deal and

:04:11.:04:14.

we could would being away? Yes I think that is right. If you talk

:04:15.:04:18.

about the point at which we leave the EU, we want to ensure that we do

:04:19.:04:24.

have a deal and we have a deal that is the right deal for the United

:04:25.:04:32.

Kingdom. After about eight hours in Theresa May is moving to Tokyo,

:04:33.:04:36.

where discussions about trade will dominate the talks. But she has

:04:37.:04:41.

tried to settle for good the question about her leadership that

:04:42.:04:44.

has dogged her since the general election. But the question is

:04:45.:04:49.

whether her MPs and her party back in the UK accept that she can stick

:04:50.:04:52.

this out for the long-term zmrchlt. Our political correspondent,

:04:53.:04:58.

Eleanor Garnier, is in Westminster. What will the reaction be here? It

:04:59.:05:05.

is a contrast to the Theresa May of two and a half months ago, remember,

:05:06.:05:14.

red-faced, she was apologising to Tory MPs, saying she would stay on

:05:15.:05:21.

as long as they wanted to. Now she says she wants to take the party

:05:22.:05:25.

into the general election. In the short-term there is no appetite

:05:26.:05:31.

among Conservative MPs for a leadership contest. So these

:05:32.:05:36.

comments won't unsettle the party. But in the long-term few see Theresa

:05:37.:05:42.

May taking the party into the next general election. And many say it is

:05:43.:05:49.

not if she goes, but when. And some say by revealing her ambition to

:05:50.:05:52.

stay on, she has put herself in direct conflict with the party. With

:05:53.:05:56.

Brexit negotiations going on, she won't want this distraction of

:05:57.:06:02.

leadership talk, but if back benchers decide her time is up, the

:06:03.:06:08.

truth is, there is little she can do.

:06:09.:06:10.

Let's speak to our Europe correspondent, Damian

:06:11.:06:12.

There have been some sticking points to deal with? Yes there are some

:06:13.:06:23.

real difficulties with the Brexit talks that boil down to a difference

:06:24.:06:27.

of opinion about how the talks work and who is in charge. The UK side we

:06:28.:06:32.

know feel frustrated that the EU will not move on to trade talks and

:06:33.:06:38.

in some areas feel that the EU won't engage in the give and take of

:06:39.:06:44.

normal negotiations. Michel Barnier said the UK has to put its positions

:06:45.:06:51.

down and be clear. There were the papers the UK produced. The EU say

:06:52.:06:57.

many lack detail and on money there is not one. And Theresa May hold

:06:58.:07:03.

back on money to force it back on to trade talks. But it is not the UK

:07:04.:07:09.

that control it. The other EU countries would have to agree to a

:07:10.:07:13.

change and the more time spent talking about the structure of

:07:14.:07:18.

things, the less time to get that bespoke deal that the Prime Minister

:07:19.:07:19.

wants. Thank you. President Trump says that

:07:20.:07:24.

"talking is not the answer" It comes after Pyongyang said

:07:25.:07:26.

yesterday's missile test over Japan was "the first step" of military

:07:27.:07:30.

operations in the Pacific. But later the American Defence

:07:31.:07:33.

Secretary, James Mattis, insisted there is still room

the UN Security Council members, including China, were unanimous

in condemning North Korea. But today, the cracks have

already begun to appear. From President Trump came

:08:40.:08:43.

this tweet, ruling out "The US has been talking

:08:44.:08:45.

to North Korea and paying them extortion money for 25

:08:46.:08:52.

years," he exclaimed. Here in Japan, Prime Minister

:08:53.:08:53.

Theresa May said China We want to work with international

:08:54.:09:02.

partners to see what further pressure can be brought on North

Korea. And of course particularly look

at what China can do. In Beijing, China's Foreign Ministry

spokeswoman had this TRANSLATION: Some countries dash

the worst is not yet over for some parts of the State,

as torrential rain continues to fall in the wake

affecting almost a quarter At least 20 people

it was already a powerful Category 4 hurricane,

:10:29.:10:30.

which was expected But high pressure was already

:10:31.:10:32.

sitting over America and that's what has made a bad storm

:10:33.:10:39.

a lot worse. Instead of moving inland

:10:40.:10:42.

and weakening, as expected, Harvey became trapped over Texas

:10:43.:10:45.

for several days. That meant that the tropical storm

:10:46.:10:48.

was able to suck up more and more warm ocean water from the Gulf

:10:49.:10:55.

of Mexico and then dumped it, This is what Hurricane

Houston for days. And not just Houston,

this is Port Arthur in neighbouring Louisiana where Harvey

and so is the damage. The bleak legacy of Hurricane Harvey

will be felt for years to come. Our correspondent, Nada Tawfik, is

:13:22.:13:24.

at an emergency shelter in Houston. So many people have been left

:13:25.:13:35.

homeless and no sign of an end to it? Yes absolutely. When I spoke

:13:36.:13:42.

with the mayor earlier, he said that now that Houston is drying up, one

:13:43.:13:47.

priority will be to re-house the thousands that are here inside the

:13:52.:13:56.

They have handed out meals, toiletries, even a psychiatrist is

:13:57.:14:00.

on hand to help people. But still there is no end in sight. And one of

:14:01.:14:05.

the things that people are the most concerned about of course is how to

:14:06.:14:09.

rebuild their homes with no flood insurance. Federal aid will be key.

:14:10.:14:17.

One mother here told me that without this shelter she would be on the

:14:18.:14:21.

street and may have to go to another shelter after this. But still

:14:22.:14:24.

they're lucky to have their lives still. As the waters have gone down

:14:25.:14:33.

we have seen the death toll rise. The County officer said Hester if

From next year, Britain is halving the amount of money it gives

:14:48.:14:50.

in humanitarian aid to Nigeria saying the country must do more

:14:51.:14:52.

Speaking on a visit to the affected areas, the International

Development Secretary, Priti Patel, said other countries

Nigerian army has had some successes retaking territory in the

north-east, but the government is widely blamed for claiming some sort

these patients, underscores one of the grimmest features of this

:15:56.:15:59.

conflict, increasing reliance of Boko Haram on children as suicide

:16:00.:16:06.

bombers. Estimates vary but the United Nations believe 80 children

:16:07.:16:10.

have been used as suicide bombers in this region alone. Starvation is one

consequence as people flee their homes and farms. Over 400,000

:16:17.:16:21.

children have severe acute malnutrition. Britain is helping

about a quarter of them. Today, Boris Johnson and Priti Patel met

:16:32.:16:34.

Britain must reduce its humanitarian aid next year, others should do

:16:35.:16:38.

more. My job isn't just to give aid and to give money. My job is to make

:16:39.:16:43.

make sure the aid goes further and that we leverage with the Nigerian

:16:44.:16:46.

government to get them to step up and do more. Nigerian soldiers relax

Scottish Labour is about to get its fourth leader in four years

:17:09.:17:10.

after Kezia Dugdale resigned with immediate effect.

:17:11.:17:12.

Ms Dugdale said the party had been revitalised during her two years

:17:13.:17:15.

in charge and that it was time for a new leader with "fresh energy,

:17:16.:17:18.

She's been speaking to BBC Scotland's political

:17:19.:17:22.

No, this is for real, Scottish Labour has

:17:23.:17:27.

Kezia Dugdale can be ferocious with opponents.

:17:28.:17:31.

I was told I had the toughest job in Scottish politics.

:17:32.:17:35.

I'd like to think I've made it a bit easier for the next person.

:17:36.:17:38.

But she also has form for criticising Jeremy Corbyn.

:17:39.:17:42.

In June last year, highlighting opposition from Labour MPs.

:17:43.:17:48.

If I had just lost 80% of my parliamentary colleagues,

:17:49.:17:50.

I simply could not do my job, and I think it's now

:17:51.:17:53.

extremely difficult for Jeremy Corbyn to continue.

:17:54.:17:57.

Times change, Kezia Dugdale now backs Mr Corbyn,

:17:58.:18:00.

loyally supporting his Scottish tour last week.

:18:01.:18:05.

Still, the left never quite forgave her, arguing that

:18:06.:18:08.

Scottish Labour needed to embrace the full Corbyn programme.

:18:09.:18:13.

But, she told me, she was definitely not bowing to pressure.

:18:14.:18:16.

What I'm trying to do is something that politicians rarely do,

:18:17.:18:20.

which is to leave with my head held high, without any sort of crisis.

:18:21.:18:23.

Are you going before you were pushed?

:18:24.:18:25.

Reasons for going - she faced an intense spell as leader,

:18:26.:18:31.

She takes credit for helping rescue Scottish Labour from oblivion.

:18:32.:18:37.

Plus personal factors, the break up of a longstanding relationship,

:18:38.:18:39.

We're opponents, but I've always admired the guts

:18:40.:18:47.

and the determination that she's brought to that task,

:18:48.:18:49.

Kezia Dugdale's deputy, Alex Rowley, will act as interim leader,

Neil Findlay, Jeremy Corbyn's number one fan in Scotland,

The left might favour Richard Leonard, an MSP

:19:02.:19:08.

Many also point to Anas Sarwar, who's performed well

:19:09.:19:14.

So was there an orchestrated coup to oust Kezia Dugdale?

:19:15.:19:19.

But was there continuing disquiet among parts of the left

:19:20.:19:25.

Yes, there was, and that was a factor in her

:19:35.:19:48.

in the next two months for his role in the attack.

Hashem Abedi was arrested in Libya shortly after the suicide attack

:19:55.:19:59.

But in an exclusive interview with the BBC's Orla Guerin,

:20:00.:20:03.

the prosecutor in the case said their father has been released.

:20:04.:20:06.

This is it Hashem Abedi after he was taken into custodial by a counter

:20:07.:20:11.

terrorism unit in Tripoli. The BBC has learned he has been directly

:20:12.:20:15.

questioned here several times by British police. Libya's chief

:20:16.:20:21.

investigator told us the authorities here believe he played a key role in

:20:22.:20:26.

the attack. TRANSLATION: All the signs point to

:20:27.:20:29.

Hashem being directly involved, assisting his brother and collecting

:20:30.:20:32.

the materials for the suicide bombing, which took a lot of

:20:33.:20:37.

innocent lives in Manchester. Do you expect to see Hashem Abedi on trial

:20:38.:20:42.

here this year? Of course, all the investigations will be completed in

:20:43.:20:46.

two months at the most. Anything needed from the general prosecutor

:20:47.:20:49.

or the police will be ready for the court. The authorities here have

:20:50.:20:56.

detained another relative of the Abedi brothers, Mohammeddown news

:20:57.:21:00.

Abedi in connection with the attack. They say his credit card was used to

by ingredient for the bomb and they have given British police a list of

:21:05.:21:07.

others in the UK who should be questioned.

:21:08.:21:13.

TRANSLATION: These people should be questioned to get more information

:21:14.:21:17.

about the suspects. Their movements. Their ideologies. If there were any

:21:18.:21:21.

sign they were going to carry out the attack. They are not necessarily

:21:22.:21:24.

suspects themselves, but it's important to get information from

:21:25.:21:30.

them. But Libyan investigators have now finished with Ramadan Abedi, the

:21:31.:21:37.

father of Hashem and Salman. We went to his home on the outskirts of

:21:38.:21:41.

Tripoli. He's already back here with his family, but we were told he was

:21:42.:21:47.

tired and did not want to comment. Well, we have tried to speak to

:21:48.:21:52.

Ramadan Abedi, but he's been unwilling to see us. The authorities

:21:53.:21:55.

have told us they have no reason to hold him any longer in this case. He

:21:56.:22:00.

News, Tripoli. The boss of the oil giant Shell,

the biggest company in Britain, has questioned whether the Government's

plan for greater transparency Ministers want companies to force

proposal to curb pay is to force companies to publish how many times

more the boss gets paid It's a matter of public record,

:23:33.:23:34.

you got paid ?7.5 million last year, that was a 60% increase

:23:35.:23:39.

from the previous year, and could you tell me

:23:40.:23:41.

what the multiple is of your pay Well, no, I don't have

:23:42.:23:44.

that number to hand, not because I, you know,

:23:45.:23:57.

I wouldn't care about it or I would forget about it

or whatever, it's - The average one in the United States

or globally or do we include the people who work on our

forecourts or not, etc? So this is going to be a very

:24:08.:24:10.

complicated definition piece. The Government's clear,

:24:11.:24:12.

it should be average UK pay, an incentive to push up pay here,

:24:13.:24:15.

but does it make sense for a company It sounds to me that the natural

conclusion, from what you've said, is that your position

with Government saying - look, measures like this don't work

for companies like ours? Sometimes we say, well,

:24:32.:24:34.

why don't you do this or why don't you look at this particular way

:24:35.:24:38.

of strengthening etc? So conversation doesn't mean

:24:39.:24:40.

push back, push back, push back, it means finding

constructive ways forward. Shell is not alone, of course,

it was 20 years ago, but a reminder of feelings

which the years have not erased. And this afternoon, William

and Harry came to view the tributes. They took their time,

they looked, and they read. And they laughed at some

to be reminded of how it was 20 years ago when,

for their mother. She touched everybody and it shows

by how many people are here today. William and Harry took some
