The shock of election night is still sinking in.

After church this morning, the Prime Minister rang

round colleagues who'd been defeated on Thursday.

She's in office for now, but for how much longer?

is vulnerable and he is ready for another general election.

We cannot go on with a period of great instability.

We have a programme, we have the support and we are ready

to fight another election campaign as soon as may be,

because we want to be able to serve the people of this country.

Life without a majority in the Commons will be different with

controversial policies like grammar schools, social care and pensions

might bite the dust. There is no point in sailing

ahead with items that were in the manifesto,

which we will not get To get anything done,

the Conservatives need They are trying to do a deal

with Northern Ireland's ten Today, both sides suggested

that the principles We had very good discussions

yesterday with the Conservative Party in relation to how

we could support them in forming a national government,

one that would bring stability We have made good progress,

but the discussions continue. After such a bad political

miscalculation, most leaders would be forced out,

but many Tory MPs do not have the appetite for a distracting

leadership contest just as Brexit And they certainly don't want

to risk a second general election. For now, Theresa May's colleagues

are rallying behind her, but she is certainly not in charge

of her own political destiny. Vicki Young, BBC News,

Downing Street. Well, with negotiations on Brexit

due to begin in days, where does all the current turmoil

leave Our Political Correspondent

Ben Wright has been There's some flash

photography in his report. Almost a year ago, Britain

voted to leave the EU, but last week's chaotic election

result has reopened the argument over how, on what terms,

on the priorities, the tactics - just days before divorce talks

with the EU are due to start. Some Tory MPs are demanding

Theresa May has a rethink. She's now got to make sure

that she understands that the British people have

rejected a hard Brexit. I don't think there's any change

there, but we're not going to be leaving the EU in some irresponsible

way that will damage our country, and of course

the future generations. A manifesto to see us

through Brexit and beyond. Theresa May had wanted a thumping

mandate from voters for this, the Tories' manifesto,

which set out their aims for Brexit. It promised to take Britain out

of the single market and have control over EU migration

to Britain, to strike new trade new trade deals with the EU

and other countries. Theresa May said no Brexit deal

was better than a bad one, Every Conservative Scottish,

English and Welsh MP was elected on our manifesto,

so obviously, we deliver the plans in that manifesto

as best we can, including, Even though Theresa May didn't win

the election outright, today ministers insisted

the government's Brexit strategy hadn't changed,

but the political reality has. Roughly half of Tory MPs

in the House of Commons backed Remain in last year's referendum,

and now, after this electoral humiliation, they may feel

emboldened to try and water down But the Prime Minister is trapped,

because the other half of her Parliamentary party,

also livid about this election result, will be furious

if there is any compromise. One pro-EU Tory

grandee was scathing. Brexit is the cancer

gnawing at the heart of the Conservative Party,

and there's a lot of talk But it's not about changing

just the leader, it's There is no appetite

or mandate in Parliament Like the Tories, Labour has

committed to leaving the EU. We are respecting the decision

of the referendum. I think people will interpret

membership of the single market Others in Labour say it's time

to get the whole of Parliament Now there should be a sort of cross

party commission or group set up to try and take forward those

negotiations in a way that is open, thoughtful, consensual,

that accept that not everybody is going to get the

deal that they want. All this confusion comes two months

after Britain formally handed So as talks with the DUP continue,

what are voters making of all the uncertainty,

when it comes to Brexit. Elaine Dunkley has been

to Birmingham to find out, a city evenly split

between remain and leave Birmingham - one of the most

divided cities in the UK But can people here

agree on the best course I want to know what's

happening with jobs. I want to know what is

going to happen with This area had the highest number

of leave voters in last To be honest, since

Brexit was introduced, And since all the confusion,

people are holding back the money. Our main clients are not spending

the money like they did. Imports and exports will be harder,

unless we get the right deals. That is what May has

got to fight for. To be honest, I don't

really understand what I don't think many people really

understand what happens. Next stop Moseley, where people

overwhelmingly voted to remain With regards to the DUP,

they are quite sensible in the sense that they will want hospitals,

schools and roads in Northern Ireland, which

they can get as a result of the arrangement

with the Conservatives. So, on balance, it is

actually a good result. Is Theresa May the right person

to do the negotiation? I think that the fiasco pretty

much since last June, in terms of how she has run

the party, hasn't helped her. I think it makes her look small

in front of the Europeans. In Brussels, the EU has

its negotiation position Meanwhile here, the debate about how

to keep Europe as a friend Our Ireland Correspondent,

Chris Buckler is at Stormont, and our Deputy Political Editor Jon

Pienaar is in Downing Street. The leader of the Democratic

Unionists, Arlene Foster is in London to meet the Prime Minister on

Tuesday. What does she want in return for support? There has been

talk about the DUP stance on social issues such as gay marriage and

abortion and concerns some Tory MPs might have about those. I have no

doubt the DUP priority in negotiations is money not morality.

Northern Ireland gets more per head in terms of funding than any other

part of the UK but the economy and public services here need investment

so expect them to ask the cash and they will want to say on Brexit

negotiations, and assurances about the strengthening of different parts

of the UK to bring the union together. What is happening in

Westminster will have an impact on Stormont, when negotiations to get

power-sharing back are due to begin tomorrow. It will be difficult if

the DUP prop up the Conservatives, to see them as honest brokers, for

Theresa May's government to be seen as facilitators of the talks which

is why we had a statement from the Irish Prime Minister to say nothing

should be done to jeopardise the Good Friday Agreement and in his

words you can see concerned about the potential deal between the

Tories and DUP. John, Theresa May has made it clear she will serve a

full term as Prime Minister, just how safe is she? The timidity of the

reshuffle was evidence of the Prime Minister's vulnerability, no

significant movement and the promotion of the pro-European

balanced by bringing in a Brexiteer, Michael Gove from the cold. Today

for the first time I can remember, the Tory MPs' chairman, Graham

Brady, a posh shop steward to the Tory backbenchers and the most

discreetly powerful figure on the backbenches, warned her about that

upsets MPs the coming year risks defeat and the most reliably on

message minister Michael Fallon warned she better listen to

ministers or risk a mutiny. She looks like a Prime Minister strapped

into an ejector seat with 100 fingers hovering over the ejector

button. You saw Boris Johnson, I do not think we should expect a

challenge yet, but the loyalty, respect, everything to the party's

deepest instincts of self-preservation. Tories do not

think they could handle the challenge close to the start of

Brexit talks and senior Tories fear the possibility of a second

election. Her position looks painful, her party's looks

uncomfortable and it cannot be ideal for a country that might have

expected something more stable and stronger so close to the brink of

Brexit. Thank you. Police have released new images

of the Manchester Arena bomber, saying they now fully understand

the movements of Salman Abedi almost hour by hour,

in the week's leading up They believe he constructed

the bomb alone and stored Today, detectives released the last

people they were holding as our Home Affairs Correspondent

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

bought just two days before he left for Libya,

that police believe the Manchester bomber stored the parts

to make his device, in plastic barrels police later

found in the car. Salman Abedi flew out of the country

on the 15th of April and arrived back in Manchester

on the 18th of May. He was then caught on CCTV cameras

with a blue suitcase going backwards and forwards to the flats

in Rusholme where the Detectives believe he was collecting

preprepared bomb parts from the car for him to assemble alone at this

flat in central Manchester. In a statement, police investigating

the bomber said: Detectives are still searching

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

which could contain Police investigating

the Manchester attack originally 20 people were detained in the UK

and a senior officer said some But today, the last of those

arrested was released, leaving just Salman Abedi,

who is dead, and his brother Hashem Abedi,

who is being held in Libya. Detectives say they want to talk

to Hashem Abedi, who left the country with his older brother

on the 15th of April. He has been detained

by the Libyan Ministry of interior's All roads in this investigation

really we can operate Investigations will be difficult

for British police within Libya. Police say some of the men

they arrested and released appear to have bought materials that can be

used to make explosives. And some were in contact with with

Abedi in the last few days. But detectives say, at this

time, they are satisfied In Libya, the notorious son

of the country's former leader, Colonel Gaddafi, is reported to have

been released from prison. A militia group controlling the town

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

al-Islam after six years in jail. He's still wanted for war crimes

by the International Criminal Court. From Libya, our Middle East

correspondent Orla Guerin reports. For years, the pampered

public face of a hated regime. He was Colonel Gaddafi's heir,

expected to inherit That was before he fell into rebel

hands during the revolution of 2011. He was captured trying to flee, and

to the fact that the dictator's Many will see this as a betrayal

of the revolution, But the Gaddafi name

Saif had been freed. Not such a surprise, perhaps,

when you consider Libya's descent into chaos since

Col Gaddafi was toppled. This man told us, "better

the devil you know." He said, he is not like his father,

he is still young and can give a lot to the country and push for

progress. In the past, Saif al-Islam commanded

considerable support, and in parts of the country

he still does. But his return could spark more

instability in this battle scarred nation.

Early indications, after the first round of voting, suggest that

Our Paris Correspondent, Lucy Williamson has the latest.

Five weeks after snatching the presidency from more experienced

hands, Emmanuel Macron is doing the same with the parliament.

His party La Republique En Marche is on track for a landslide.

Little more than a year after it was formed.

The run-off vote next Sunday will decide the exact number of seats,

but at party HQ they are already looking ahead to government.
