Two of the Prime Minister's most senior advisers have resigned, | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
in the wake of the general election. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill quit, after Theresa May failed to win | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
There were plenty of voices in the Conservative Party that | :00:16. | :00:27. | |
reminded her that you cannot run the government like you run | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
The London Bridge killers who used a van in their terror attack, | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
had wanted a seven tonne lorry instead. | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
And Scotland are playing England in their World Cup | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
Theresa May's two closest advisers, Nick Timothy | :00:40. | :01:06. | |
and Fiona Hill, have resigned, following the Conservative | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
Party's failure to win a majority in Parliament, | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
The BBC understands the Prime Minister had been warned | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
she faced a leadership challenge, if she didn't sack them. | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
The Government's Chief Whip Gavin Williamson is now | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
in Belfast, to hold talks with Northern Ireland's largest | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
party, the DUP, to secure support for Mrs May's minority government. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
Here's our Political Correspondent Alex Forsyth. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
They were at the heart of power, the Prime Minister's closest advisers | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
for years. Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill were accused of having too much | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
control over policy and tactics, costing Theresa May the majority and | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
costing them their jobs. They are brilliant street fighters and | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
terrible political leaders because you need in government grey-haired | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
people who will say don't do that, you will make mistakes. Mistakes | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
acknowledged by Nick Timothy today who said Britain was divided and the | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Prime Minister was the one leader who understands division. But he | :02:09. | :02:20. | |
said... Today, as the consequences of the campaign sunk in, reflection | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
and recrimination. Some Tory MPs saying Theresa May had to heed calls | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
to change. There were plenty of voices in the party that reminded | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
how you cannot run the government liking on the Home Office and there | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
have been calls to make sure the circle around her was wider, more | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
inclusive, to prevent anyone believing the two principal advisers | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
had undue influence. The Prime Minister is under pressure from all | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
sides with no majority and her plans for things like grammar schools and | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
social care will be hard to get through Parliament and the Queen's | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Speech, the programme for government, is just a week away. I | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
cannot see how a Queen's Speech can be laden with interesting | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
legislation because many of them will be items that will cause | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
dispute within the Conservative Party and between the Conservative | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
Party and DUP. Theresa May is seeking support from Democratic | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Unionist Party to govern here. For more talks are under way today. In | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
order to lead a minority government she will have to balance competing | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
demands on every front, considering not just the position of the DUP on | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
some issues, but that of her own MPs. In Scotland there are now 13 of | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
them and they are essential to the Prime Minister. The party leader | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
here suggesting a revised approach to Brexit. What is clear is the | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Conservative Party having failed to win a majority needs to work with | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
others, which means we can look again at what we hope to achieve as | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
we leave the EU and I want to be involved. The Prime Minister may be | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
back in number 10, but in a position far from what she hoped. She has | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
lost her trusted advisers, she has lost her majority in the Commons, | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
and the job of leading has become that much harder. Flesh out where | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
you think the two departures of the advisers leave Theresa May. Theresa | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
May operated on the basis of a small inner circle of trust and Nick | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
Timothy and Fiona Hill were at the centre of that. Their departure will | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
leave her feel at isolated. -- feeling isolated. It shows the level | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
of influence Tory MPs will now influence over the Prime Minister. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
There were suggestions if they did not depart she might face a | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
leadership contest and with their departure she has bought some time | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
on that front. There is no immediate clamour for her to go. After so much | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
instability, the country needs stability, say the Tory MPs but | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
there are now questions about how effective she can be in government | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
because we know the Conservative Party is divided on issues, not just | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
domestic policy, but Brexit, where there are differing opinions about | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
the direction the government should take. Theresa May is on the verge of | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
starting those negotiations and this election, the fact she lost the | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
majority and now she has lost these advisers, has undoubtedly left | :05:32. | :05:32. | |
Theresa May weakened. Mrs May needs | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
the support of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
to give her a working majority in Parliament, | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
and the Government's Chief Whip But what will the DUP demand | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
in return for their loyalty, and how could any deal affect | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
the politics of Northern Ireland? Political views here are firmly held | :05:50. | :06:03. | |
and slow to change. Saturday morning 's for the last five years, Unionist | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
protesters have gathered at Belfast City Hall, opposing a council policy | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
to reduce the numbers of days on which it flies the union flag, a | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
decision may feel undermines their British identity. They welcomed the | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
DUP's new influence. I think Northern Ireland is in the best | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
position, we could not have wished for anything better than a hung | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
parliament. They should be asking to stop the witchhunt against people in | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
the British Army. What do people think DUP should prioritise. The | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
national health, the hospital is one of the most important. Schools and | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
welfare. I am pleased they are going into government with them. An | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
executive for government in Northern Ireland. Money is great but it does | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
not answer all the questions. The DUP is a party with religious roots | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
and that continues to influence its social policy. It opposes extending | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
gay marriage and abortion rights to Northern Ireland, but issues like | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
these are unlikely to feature in talks with the Conservatives. I | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
think the DUP's demands will be financial, they have a road map they | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
set out in 2015 when they thought they would be in this position and | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
there is little in that about social policy. Soon I -- financial demands | :07:30. | :07:39. | |
are likely to include infrastructure investment. On Brexit, the DUP does | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
not appear to share Theresa May's view that walking away with no deal | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
is a viable option. The Conservative Chief Whip is here tonight beginning | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
talks with the DUP. There is a suggestion a formal coalition could | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
be on offer rather than a vote by vote arrangement but the DUP might | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
be wary given the Lib Dems' bad experience as a junior partner. And | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
there is the wider question, how can a Conservative Secretary of State be | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
an honest broker among Northern Ireland parties if they are in | :08:15. | :08:15. | |
government with the DUP? It's been revealed the ringleader | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
of the London terror attack had tried to hire a seven tonne lorry, | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
instead of a van, to run down Police say the number of injured | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
would have been much higher. Eight people died in the knife | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
and van attack a week ago. Here's our Home Affairs | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
Correspondent, Daniel Sandford. On the edges of Borough Market, | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
they were repairing the damage today, replacing the doors that had | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
been shot off by armed police in the desperate hunt | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
to find the killers. The police are gone but the market | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
where five victims were stabbed We have stories of people who came | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
out armed with chairs, other items, were throwing bottles and anything | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
they could get their hands on with a view to try to prevent | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
the attackers coming into pubs and bars but more importantly | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
to scare them off to stop other The weapons the attackers used | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
were 12-inch pink ceramic knives of the Ernesto brand, | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
possibly bought at Lidl. They were found tied onto the men's | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
hands with leather straps Minutes earlier, they had killed | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
three other people on London Bridge In the van police found 13 petrol | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
bombs made with lighter fluid and cloth cut from tracksuit bottoms | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
and two blowtorches. Detectives believe behind | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
this door in East Ham by Rachid Redouane two months ago, | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
detectives discovered items that had been used to make their petrol bombs | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
and fake suicide vests. And an English-language copy | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
of the Koran left open at a page The ringleader of the gang, | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
Khuram Butt, had tried to hire a 7.5 tonne truck that morning | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
which would have made the attack worse, but fortunately his payment | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
did not go through. He was also being investigated | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
by counterterrorism detectives for fraud and was still on police | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
bail, although the case At the present time I do not | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
regard what I have seen But everybody would expect us | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
to look at what has happened and to ensure we learn whatever | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
we can from what has happened and secondly we continue to improve | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
and improve and that is what we have always done in this | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
country in the face The men killed three | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
of their victims as they drove and stabbed five more to death | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
in Borough Market. It was the third attack on Britain | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
in ten and a half weeks. People are being urged to visit | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
London's bars and restaurants in a show of "unity and resilience" | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
a week after the attacks. Our Correspondent Sarah | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Campbell is in Southwark, This is the Anchor part and it is | :11:13. | :11:24. | |
packed. You might be able to make out London Bridge. Borough Market is | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
a few minutes walk away, where this afternoon residents who had to leave | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
after the investigation were allowed back in. It is close to the events | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
of last week but people I have spoken to say although it is on | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
their minds, it will not stop them coming back to the capital, which is | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
the centre that promoted this evening. Donations are set to pour | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
into the UK Solidarity fund set up by the British Red Cross in the wake | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
of the Manchester and Westminster attacks and so pubs like this, | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
people will be asked to donate the price of a drink and restaurants the | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
cost of the meal. Uber will donate ?1 per fare. All the money will go | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
to the victims and families of victims caught up in the attacks and | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
the centre but from here is what ever happened last Saturday will not | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
stop people enjoying themselves. Thank you. Sarah Campbell. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
A rescue operation has taken place in the mid-Atlantic | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
after a fleet of yachts that set out from the UK was hit by a "once | :12:28. | :12:31. | |

Scotland are taking on England in a football World Cup qualifying match. | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
Our correspondent is that Hampden Park. What is the latest? About a | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
quarter of an hour in, 0-0 and Scotland made an encouraging start | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
backed by supporters who arrived en masse and in such high spirits, the | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
atmosphere has been terrific all afternoon. There was increased | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
security searches but everything seems to have passed off OK. There | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
was an impeccably observed minute silence to remember those affected | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
by recent terror attacks before kick-off and then play got under | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
way. Scotland need to win this match. Their bid to qualify for | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
Russia next summer is looking in doubt. England top the group on 13 | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
points. Six points clear of Scotland, who are fourth. England do | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
not have the same pressure. This is the oldest football rivalry in the | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
international game, dating back to 1872, and we should have a classic | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
game. Thank you. The British and Irish Lions | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
have won their latest They recovered from a midweek loss, | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
