Theresa May is completing a cabinet reshuffle,

:00:00.:00:07.

and changing her leadership style, in the wake of the

:00:08.:00:10.

After the resignation of two of her closest advisors,

:00:11.:00:14.

senior Conservatives demand the Prime Minister listens

:00:15.:00:17.

We're going to see a different approach.

:00:18.:00:24.

We're going to see - I hope - more collective decision-making.

:00:25.:00:28.

But the Conservative Chancellor she sacked believes

:00:29.:00:29.

It's just how long she's going to remain on death row.

:00:30.:00:39.

We'll have the latest, including developments in the talks

:00:40.:00:41.

with the Democratic Unionists, to help support the Government.

:00:42.:00:46.

Police release new images of the Manchester Arena bomber,

:00:47.:00:50.

and say they're now sure he acted alone.

:00:51.:00:56.

Militants in Libya have released Colonel Gadaffi's youngest

:00:57.:00:58.

son Seif from prison, but he's still wanted

:00:59.:01:01.

And England's footballers win the World Cup -

:01:02.:01:09.

Senior Conservatives say Theresa May's style

:01:10.:01:35.

of leadership must change, if the Government is to survive.

:01:36.:01:39.

The Defence Secretary Michael Fallon believes she will have to listen

:01:40.:01:42.

more to her cabinet colleagues, instead of relying on advisors.

:01:43.:01:45.

The Prime Minister has spent the day completing

:01:46.:01:47.

a cabinet reshuffle, but the former Chancellor George

:01:48.:01:50.

Osborne, says the election result has left her too vulnerable,

:01:51.:01:56.

Our first report is from our Political

:01:57.:02:05.

She's putting on a brave face, but Theresa May know she's thrown her

:02:06.:02:13.

party into turmoil. The shock of the night is still sinking in. She rang

:02:14.:02:17.

round colleagues who had been defeated on Thursday. For now, she

:02:18.:02:22.

keeps her job, but senior Conservatives have demanded changes.

:02:23.:02:26.

It is going to require a different approach. I hope we are going to see

:02:27.:02:30.

more collective decision-making in the Cabinet. I and other colleagues

:02:31.:02:34.

have made that clear to her. I think you will also see she will want to

:02:35.:02:39.

work more closely with the Parliamentary party. Mrs May has now

:02:40.:02:48.

appointed her Cabinet, but with her authority damaged, she is making few

:02:49.:02:51.

changes. Boris Johnson stays as Foreign Secretary. He is denying

:02:52.:02:56.

he's planning on making a leadership challenge. Jeremy Corbyn did not win

:02:57.:03:00.

this election. It is right that she goes ahead for a government and

:03:01.:03:06.

delivers an policies for the people. I'm going to be backing her. There

:03:07.:03:11.

is no appetite for a general election among Conservatives, but

:03:12.:03:13.

the Labour leader says he's ready to seize power. We cannot go on with a

:03:14.:03:19.

period of great instability. We have a programme. We have support, and we

:03:20.:03:25.

are ready to fight another election campaign as soon as may be, because

:03:26.:03:29.

we want to serve the people of this country. It's not just the

:03:30.:03:34.

opposition snapping at Theresa May's heals. Theresa May is a dead woman

:03:35.:03:40.

walking. It's just how long she can remain on death row. I think we will

:03:41.:03:44.

know very shortly. It could all collapsed next week for her. When

:03:45.:03:50.

Tory MPs return to Parliament this week, they will face the reality of

:03:51.:03:54.

political life without a majority in the House of Commons. Compromises

:03:55.:03:58.

will need to be found. Controversial policies like social care and

:03:59.:04:03.

pension changes may bite the dust. There's no point in going ahead with

:04:04.:04:09.

items that were in the manifesto which we will not get through

:04:10.:04:13.

Parliament. To get anything done, the Conservatives need votes from

:04:14.:04:18.

another party. They are trying to do a deal with Northern Ireland's ten

:04:19.:04:23.

Democratic Unionists. Today it was suggested that the principles of an

:04:24.:04:28.

agreement where in place. We had very good discussions with the

:04:29.:04:31.

Conservative Party about how we can support them in forming a national

:04:32.:04:36.

government, one which brings stability to the nation. Discussions

:04:37.:04:41.

continue. We have made good progress, though. After such a bad

:04:42.:04:52.

political miscalculation, most leaders would be forced out, but

:04:53.:04:54.

many Conservative MPs don't have the appetite for a destructive

:04:55.:04:56.

leadership contest just as Brexit talks are set to start. For now,

:04:57.:05:02.

Theresa May's colleagues are rallying behind, but she is

:05:03.:05:05.

certainly not in charge of her political destiny.

:05:06.:05:08.

Well, with negotiations on Brexit due to begin in days,

:05:09.:05:10.

where does all the current political upheaval, leave the

:05:11.:05:12.

Our Political Correspondent, Ben Wright, has been

:05:13.:05:16.

There's some flash photography in his report.

:05:17.:05:19.

Almost a year ago, Britain voted to leave the EU,

:05:20.:05:21.

but last week's chaotic election result has reopened the argument

:05:22.:05:25.

over how, on what terms, on the priorities, the tactics -

:05:26.:05:27.

just days before divorce talks with the EU are due to start.

:05:28.:05:37.

Some Tory MPs are demanding Theresa May has a rethink.

:05:38.:05:39.

She's now got to make sure that she understands

:05:40.:05:42.

that the British people have rejected a hard Brexit.

:05:43.:05:44.

I don't think there's any change there, but we're not going to be

:05:45.:05:49.

leaving the EU in some irresponsible way that will damage our

:05:50.:05:51.

country, and of course the future generations.

:05:52.:05:58.

Theresa May had wanted a strong mandate for taking Britain out

:05:59.:06:00.

of the single market and the customs union.

:06:01.:06:02.

She talked tough, saying no deal was better than a bad deal.

:06:03.:06:05.

But, although she didn't win a majority, Tory

:06:06.:06:08.

enthusiasts from leaving the EU are urging her to stick to the plan.

:06:09.:06:11.

Every Conservative Scottish, English and Welsh MP

:06:12.:06:17.

was elected on our manifesto, so obviously, we deliver the plans

:06:18.:06:20.

in that manifesto as best we can, including,

:06:21.:06:22.

This morning, ministers insisted the government's Brexit

:06:23.:06:25.

strategy hadn't changed, but the political reality has.

:06:26.:06:27.

Roughly half of Tory MPs in the House of Commons backed

:06:28.:06:31.

Remain in last year's referendum, and now, after this electoral

:06:32.:06:33.

humiliation, they may feel emboldened to try and water down

:06:34.:06:38.

But the Prime Minister is trapped, because the other half

:06:39.:06:48.

of her Parliamentary party, also livid about this election

:06:49.:06:50.

result, will be furious if there is any compromise.

:06:51.:06:52.

One pro-EU Tory grandee was scathing.

:06:53.:06:54.

Brexit is the cancer gnawing at the heart

:06:55.:06:59.

of the Conservative Party, and there's a lot of talk

:07:00.:07:02.

But it's not about changing just the leader,

:07:03.:07:12.

There is no appetite or mandate in Parliament

:07:13.:07:15.

Like the Tories, Labour has committed to leaving the EU.

:07:16.:07:20.

We are respecting the decision of the referendum.

:07:21.:07:24.

I think people will interpret membership of the single market

:07:25.:07:30.

Others in Labour say it's time to get the whole of Parliament

:07:31.:07:34.

Now there should be a sort of cross party commission or group set up

:07:35.:07:39.

to try and take forward those negotiations in a way that is open,

:07:40.:07:42.

thoughtful, consensual, that accept that not everybody

:07:43.:07:44.

is going to get the deal that they want.

:07:45.:07:49.

All this confusion comes two months after Britain formally handed

:07:50.:07:52.

So as talks with the DUP continue, what are voters making

:07:53.:08:07.

of all the uncertainty, especially when it comes to Brexit?

:08:08.:08:15.

Chris Buckler has been in Belfast. What is the latest? Despite the

:08:16.:08:24.

talks last night, there was an agreement, and then there wasn't. It

:08:25.:08:30.

seems that the DUP are prepared to do a deal, if the terms are right.

:08:31.:08:39.

On issues like same-sex marriage and abortion, there may be some concerns

:08:40.:08:44.

for some Tory MPs. Nevertheless, in these negotiations, what is

:08:45.:08:49.

important the DUP is money. They want cash for Northern Ireland and

:08:50.:08:54.

say into Brexit, and they want to reassure themselves that the United

:08:55.:08:59.

Kingdom will continue. What happens in Westminster will still have an

:09:00.:09:03.

impact here in Stormont. Talks on getting power-sharing up and running

:09:04.:09:08.

again are due to continue tomorrow. This could be difficult given that

:09:09.:09:12.

the British government are more than just facilitators if they are

:09:13.:09:16.

propped up by the DUP themselves. And Kenny, the Taoiseach, said today

:09:17.:09:22.

that he is concerned by this potential deal, and that it could

:09:23.:09:27.

jeopardise the Good Friday Agreement itself. Thank you.

:09:28.:09:32.

So as talks with the DUP continue, what are voters making

:09:33.:09:35.

of all the uncertainty, especially when it comes to Brexit?

:09:36.:09:37.

Elaine Dunkley has been to Birmingham to find out,

:09:38.:09:40.

an area evenly split between remain and leave

:09:41.:09:43.

Birmingham was one of the most divided cities in the UK when it

:09:44.:09:55.

comes to Brexit. I want to know how much it will cost. I want to know

:09:56.:10:00.

what will happen with immigration and migration. This area had the

:10:01.:10:05.

highest number of lead voters in last year's EU referendum. What are

:10:06.:10:12.

the big issues for you? Since Brexit was introduced, our business has

:10:13.:10:17.

declined. Since all the confusion, people are holding back money, and

:10:18.:10:22.

our main clients are not spending. Imports and exports. Unless we get

:10:23.:10:27.

the right deal. That is what Theresa May has to fight for. I don't

:10:28.:10:33.

understand what Brexit actually entails. The general election was

:10:34.:10:38.

meant to make the course for Brexit clearer. With Theresa May firstly

:10:39.:10:43.

having to make a deal with DUP, who have ruled out a hard Brexit, a deal

:10:44.:10:50.

with Brussels is unclear. Mosley, where people overwhelmingly voted to

:10:51.:10:55.

remain in the European Union. They all want hospitals, schools and

:10:56.:10:59.

roads in the Northern Ireland, which is what the DUP can get with an

:11:00.:11:04.

arrangement with the Conservatives. So on balance it is a good result.

:11:05.:11:09.

Is Theresa May the right person to do the negotiation? I think she is

:11:10.:11:15.

weak. I think the fiasco since last week in terms of how she has run the

:11:16.:11:20.

party... I think it makes her look small in front of the Europeans.

:11:21.:11:27.

That might be an issue. In Brussels, the EU has its negotiation position

:11:28.:11:31.

is ready and is waiting. Meanwhile, here, the best way to keep Europe as

:11:32.:11:34.

a friend with benefits continues. Police have released new images

:11:35.:11:38.

of the Manchester Arena bomber, saying they now fully understand

:11:39.:11:40.

the movements of Salman Abedi almost hour by hour,

:11:41.:11:43.

in the week's leading up Detectives say he was in

:11:44.:11:45.

and out of the country, and that they understand how

:11:46.:11:48.

he obtained the chemicals They're also now sure,

:11:49.:11:50.

he acted alone. Here's our Home Affairs

:11:51.:11:54.

Correspondent, Daniel Sandford. It was in this white Nissan Micra,

:11:55.:11:59.

bought just two days before he left for Libya,

:12:00.:12:03.

that police believed the Manchester bomber stored his bomb-making

:12:04.:12:06.

materials in plastic barrels police Salman Abedi flew out of the country

:12:07.:12:08.

on the 15th of April and arrived He was then recorded on CCTV cameras

:12:09.:12:13.

with a blue suitcase going backwards and forwards to

:12:14.:12:27.

the place where the car was parked. Detectives believe he was collecting

:12:28.:12:30.

preprepared bomb parts from the car for their final assembly at this

:12:31.:12:33.

flat in central Manchester. In a statement, Detective Chief

:12:34.:12:35.

Superintendent Russ Jackson said: Detectives are still searching

:12:36.:12:47.

a landfill site in the hopes of finding the blue suitcase which

:12:48.:12:50.

could contain crucial evidence. Salman Abedi's brother,

:12:51.:12:56.

Hashem Abedi, left the country He's been detained in Libya

:12:57.:12:59.

by the Ministry of Interior's Detectives in Manchester

:13:00.:13:08.

say they want to talk This operation just goes

:13:09.:13:10.

to show the difficulties It's also in a country,

:13:11.:13:14.

Libya, where we've got 20 people have been detained

:13:15.:13:19.

in the UK in the course of this investigation,

:13:20.:13:24.

but today, the last Police say some of them may have

:13:25.:13:26.

bought materials that can be used to make explosives,

:13:27.:13:31.

and some were in contact with Abedi But detectives say, at this

:13:32.:13:34.

time, they are satisfied The second son of the former Libyan

:13:35.:13:40.

leader, Colonel Gaddafi, is reported to have been

:13:41.:13:49.

released from prison. A militia group controlling the town

:13:50.:13:51.

of Zintan in the west of the country, says it's freed Saif

:13:52.:13:54.

al-Islam after six years in jail, following the uprising

:13:55.:13:57.

which overthrew his father. Our Middle East correspondent

:13:58.:13:59.

Orla Guerin reports. Saif al-Islam. For years, the public

:14:00.:14:14.

face of a hated regime. Now, once again, a free man. He was Colonel

:14:15.:14:21.

Gaddafi's air apparent, expected to inherit the family dictatorship.

:14:22.:14:25.

That was before his capture during the uprising of 2011. He was

:14:26.:14:30.

detained by rebel fighters as he tried to flee to Niger. Later he

:14:31.:14:36.

appeared minus a few fingers, the result of an air strike, he said. He

:14:37.:14:42.

was sentenced to death by a court in Tripoli for brutality during the

:14:43.:14:46.

Revolution, and he's still wanted by the International Criminal Court in

:14:47.:14:53.

the Hague on war crimes charges. Tripoli's martyrs Square, cradle of

:14:54.:14:57.

the revolution, is the picture of calm today, but the release of Saif

:14:58.:15:03.

al-Islam could deepen old wounds and new divisions in this fractured

:15:04.:15:07.

country. Those who gathered here in the Square six years ago,

:15:08.:15:12.

celebrating freedom, hoped they had seen the last of the Gaddafis. Now

:15:13.:15:17.

they have to adjust to the fact that the dictator's Sun has been freed.

:15:18.:15:23.

Many will see this as a betrayal of the revolution, of those who fought

:15:24.:15:28.

and died, but the Gaddafi name still carries power here. So much so that

:15:29.:15:33.

none of those we spoke to around the square would show their faces on

:15:34.:15:38.

camera, but most accepted his release. Not such a surprise perhaps

:15:39.:15:43.

when you consider Libya's descent into chaos since the fall of

:15:44.:15:48.

Gaddafi. This man told us, better the devil you know. I think he is

:15:49.:15:53.

from the young generation, he says, and has a different view. He's not

:15:54.:16:02.

like the old regime. In the past, Saif al-Islam commanded considerable

:16:03.:16:06.

support, and in parts of the country he still does. His backers will be

:16:07.:16:10.

hoping he returns to the political fray.

:16:11.:16:16.

It's been a long time coming, but England have won their first

:16:17.:16:19.

football World Cup, at any age group, since 1966.

:16:20.:16:23.

The Young Lions of the under 20's team, lifted the trophy

:16:24.:16:26.

Our Sports Correspondent, Andy Swiss, was watching.

:16:27.:16:29.

COMMENTATOR: England, World Cup winners.

:16:30.:16:32.

It's taken a mere 51 years, but once again, English football

:16:33.:16:37.

The so-called Young Lions turning their promise

:16:38.:16:42.

Paul Simpson's side began as favourites again Venezuelan,

:16:43.:16:52.

and when Dominic Calvert-Lewin lot of them ahead, the trophy

:16:53.:16:55.

But after the break, Venezuela were handed a lifeline.

:16:56.:16:59.

Penalty, that age-old scourge of English football,

:17:00.:17:02.

COMMENTATOR: And it's kept out by Woodman.

:17:03.:17:06.

And if England thought it was all over, well, it was now.

:17:07.:17:12.

COMMENTATOR: And England have won the under 20 World Cup.

:17:13.:17:16.

Most of these players have little Premier League experience, and,

:17:17.:17:19.

as their triumph was shared by England's senior team

:17:20.:17:21.

at their training camp, that is now their challenge.

:17:22.:17:25.

The aim is now that those players come through to the seniors,

:17:26.:17:30.

and a big part of that now is for them to get opportunities

:17:31.:17:34.

with their clubs, because I think they have shown, if at under 20s

:17:35.:17:37.

we are world champions, then there's enough players

:17:38.:17:40.

there to fulfil careers in the game without clubs looking elsewhere.

:17:41.:17:49.

But at last those indelible images of England's only other World Cup

:17:50.:17:52.

Yes, success at senior level is still some leap,

:17:53.:17:55.

but after years of looking to the past, a day to

:17:56.:17:58.
