:01:25. > :01:46.to the BBC News at One. The Queen's Speech next Monday

:01:47. > :01:48.is now expected to be delayed by a few days -

:01:49. > :01:51.following the turmoil caused Theresa May is insisting it's back

:01:52. > :01:57.to business in Westminster, despite losing her majority

:01:58. > :02:00.at last week's election. The Prime Minister is expected

:02:01. > :02:02.to face tough questions from her backbenchers this afternoon

:02:03. > :02:06.about her leadership style. She's also expected

:02:07. > :02:08.to be pressed for more details of a possible pact

:02:09. > :02:10.with Northern Ireland's Our political correspondent Chris

:02:11. > :02:23.Mason reports from Westminster. One after another this morning, the

:02:24. > :02:28.question for Cabinet ministers was this... Is Theresa May's time up?

:02:29. > :02:32.One after another, her senior ministers rallied to her side.

:02:33. > :02:37.Theresa May will continue as an excellent Prime Minister. First the

:02:38. > :02:41.Home Secretary then the Brexit secretary said leadership talk

:02:42. > :02:44.was... The height of self-indulgence. The British people

:02:45. > :02:46.have given us an instruction, a result we wouldn't have chosen

:02:47. > :02:51.ourselves but they have given us an instruction and it is our job to get

:02:52. > :02:53.on with the work of Government, to organise arrangements so we can do

:02:54. > :02:57.business with the House of Commons and run the country. She is very

:02:58. > :03:03.good at that. And the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said it was

:03:04. > :03:07.time to get a grip. This afternoon, Mrs May will meet Conservative MPs

:03:08. > :03:11.to explain herself. I think it is a very good sign of Theresa May

:03:12. > :03:13.recognising the importance of cohesion in the party, the

:03:14. > :03:16.importance of us all working together, if we are going to make

:03:17. > :03:20.Government work in these rather difficult circumstances. I don't

:03:21. > :03:23.think there's any appetite in the country for a new general election

:03:24. > :03:27.and I don't think there is any demand amongst my colleagues for a

:03:28. > :03:31.leadership election either. Theresa May wanted to return here with a

:03:32. > :03:35.majority that proved she could be the dominating political figure of

:03:36. > :03:40.her age. Instead, she is diminished, bruised and weakened. She called the

:03:41. > :03:44.election with the explicit intention of turbo-charging her authority.

:03:45. > :03:50.Instead, it is acting as a wheel clamp on her future. And so, after a

:03:51. > :03:56.turbulent few years, Labour Arab League. We are just going to make

:03:57. > :04:00.sure we hold their feet to the fire. So where we can, for example, on the

:04:01. > :04:03.Queen's Speech, we will be trying to ensure we hold them to account,

:04:04. > :04:06.where there are things we profoundly disagree with them on, where we

:04:07. > :04:12.think we will be able to defeat them, we will put out amendments and

:04:13. > :04:14.do our best to keep harrying them. The Queen's Speech, whether

:04:15. > :04:19.Government sets out its programme, was due to happen next Monday but we

:04:20. > :04:25.understand will now be delayed by a few days. Like never before, Theresa

:04:26. > :04:29.May will be reliant on others to prop her up. The votes of Northern

:04:30. > :04:33.Ireland's Democratic Unionist in the Commons and the support of ambitious

:04:34. > :04:43.colleagues like Boris Johnson. Politics, with its twists and turns

:04:44. > :04:45.has left us again with its capacity to leave us

:04:46. > :04:50.all out of breath. Norman Smith is in Westminster. The

:04:51. > :04:54.Queen's Speech doesn't have to be nine days after an election but how

:04:55. > :04:57.significant is this delay? Well, I can't recall a time in recent

:04:58. > :05:01.history when the Queen's Speech has been delayed in this way. It's

:05:02. > :05:06.usually pretty much set in stone in the Royal diary, come what may. What

:05:07. > :05:09.it tells us, I think, is the real difficulties the Government is

:05:10. > :05:15.having in nailing down this deal with the DUP, because there is a

:05:16. > :05:18.fear that without it, if a Queen's Speech was presented, there is a

:05:19. > :05:22.danger that could be voted down and that would be tantamount to a vote

:05:23. > :05:25.of no confidence and we would be into a general election. The signs

:05:26. > :05:31.are getting that agreement with the DUP is proving much harder than Mrs

:05:32. > :05:37.May thought, in part because of a reaction against some of the DUP's

:05:38. > :05:40.positions on social policy around marriage, gay rights, abortion, but

:05:41. > :05:45.above all, I think, because of concern about the possible impact on

:05:46. > :05:48.politics in Northern Ireland and whether being in alliance with the

:05:49. > :05:53.DUP will mean Sinn Fein will be unwilling to go into any

:05:54. > :05:55.power-sharing agreement. It also suggests that ministers are

:05:56. > :05:59.pondering what on earth to put in their legislative agenda in the

:06:00. > :06:03.Queen's Speech because we know key manifesto commitments are going to

:06:04. > :06:07.have to be dropped. And it is also being suggested that because the

:06:08. > :06:12.Queen's Speech has to be written on vellum, which is goat skin, there

:06:13. > :06:17.simply isn't the time to put it on goat skin, hang the goat skin out

:06:18. > :06:22.for a week to be dry on time for the Queen to read it and all this at a

:06:23. > :06:25.time when we know the whole debate about Brexit is being reopened,

:06:26. > :06:31.there are questions about whether Mrs May can survive as Prime

:06:32. > :06:33.Minister, and you just sounds that huge waves of uncertainty are

:06:34. > :06:37.coursing across the country and crashing down on Westminster. Norman

:06:38. > :06:39.Smith in Westminster, thank you. The Brexit secretary, David Davis,

:06:40. > :06:42.has insisted that talks on leaving the European Union will begin next

:06:43. > :06:47.week - though not necessarily on Monday as planned,

:06:48. > :06:49.because it's the day of the Queen's Speech

:06:50. > :06:50.at Westminster. It comes as MEPs and European

:06:51. > :06:53.commissioners head for meetings at the EU Parliament in Strasbourg

:06:54. > :07:01.to discuss the way forward. This report from our political

:07:02. > :07:05.correspondent contains some flash photography.

:07:06. > :07:13.The vote to leave the EU almost a year ago, but the debate on exactly

:07:14. > :07:17.how we accept, the terms and the priorities, has been reopened just

:07:18. > :07:23.days before Brexit negotiations begin. Some Tory MPs are demanding

:07:24. > :07:28.Theresa May has a rethink. And in Scotland, where the Conservatives

:07:29. > :07:34.had their best election result for more than 30 years, are promising to

:07:35. > :07:39.pile on the pressure. We will be looking to make sure that our

:07:40. > :07:42.influence is felt. We played a significant part in ensuring there

:07:43. > :07:47.is a Conservative majority Government after this general

:07:48. > :07:52.election, with a fantastic result in Scotland, winning all those seats,

:07:53. > :07:56.getting the second in the popular vote and putting our vote up so

:07:57. > :08:02.significantly. And manifesto to see us through Brexit and beyond.

:08:03. > :08:06.Theresa May had wanted a much bigger mandate from voters for her vision

:08:07. > :08:12.of Brexit, to take Britain out of the single market, have control over

:08:13. > :08:17.EU migration to the UK and to get new free-trade deals with the EU and

:08:18. > :08:22.other countries. But left without a majority, she is facing calls for

:08:23. > :08:26.compromise. This isn't new. Just before Christmas, the Scottish

:08:27. > :08:28.Government put together a pan UK compromise document, to put

:08:29. > :08:34.independence to one side, to look at the document, remaining members of

:08:35. > :08:38.the single market. That is what we need to get behind. It is perfectly

:08:39. > :08:42.possible to stay within the single market, to keep the benefits of that

:08:43. > :08:45.and it is possible to have a degree of management of migration,

:08:46. > :08:50.countries like Switzerland do it, so that is the kind of compromise you

:08:51. > :08:53.should be looking at. Buoyed by their relative success, Labour stand

:08:54. > :08:58.in a rare moment of unity and are adding to Mrs May's problems. For

:08:59. > :09:01.her to get through any legislation relating to Brexit, never mind the

:09:02. > :09:05.macro vote on the deal, she will need a degree of cross-party

:09:06. > :09:10.support, simply getting the DUP support is not enough. But the

:09:11. > :09:13.Government maintains its Brexit strategy has not changed and is

:09:14. > :09:18.sticking to its tactics, insisting no deal is still better than a bad

:09:19. > :09:22.deal. You have got to plan for that, even if you don't intend it. It is

:09:23. > :09:26.not the central aim, it is simply what we will go for if it doesn't

:09:27. > :09:30.work out. And that doesn't change. What we will be doing, of course, as

:09:31. > :09:33.I have said through the last ten months, is listening to all the

:09:34. > :09:38.contributors and say if you have better ideas, tell me and we will

:09:39. > :09:41.consider them. For many Britons, Brexit was about taking back control

:09:42. > :09:46.but now it is Mrs May who has been left without the control.

:09:47. > :09:50.Nevertheless, those around her are holding their nerve, insisting it

:09:51. > :09:55.will go ahead as planned. Theresa May might still be in power, but she

:09:56. > :09:58.is no longer pulling the strings. All the while, Brussels is waiting

:09:59. > :10:01.to negotiate and the two-year clock is ticking.

:10:02. > :10:06.Our Europe Correspondent Kevin Connolly is in Brussels.

:10:07. > :10:13.So what are they expecting in Brussels, that these talks begin

:10:14. > :10:18.next Monday? I'm not sure they know what they are expecting themselves

:10:19. > :10:21.as the honest truth. I would say Monday, or around Monday, because it

:10:22. > :10:26.is now pretty clear that there is a degree of slippage in the British

:10:27. > :10:30.political timetable and, of course, that is very likely to have knock-on

:10:31. > :10:35.effects for the process that Britain is intimately involved in, those

:10:36. > :10:38.Brexit talks. So what you will hear, if you ask European officials, which

:10:39. > :10:42.of course we do all the time, what exactly is happening is they will

:10:43. > :10:46.simply say, look, we are ready, we are waiting, we are well prepared on

:10:47. > :10:49.our side and the implication is that all this chaos on the other side,

:10:50. > :10:54.they don't really know what is going on, they don't really have

:10:55. > :10:57.ideological favourites in British politics, although they are a bit

:10:58. > :11:00.warmer towards those parties that are warm towards the European Union.

:11:01. > :11:03.What they wanted from the British election I think more than anything

:11:04. > :11:07.else was clarity and certainty and there is a feeling they have got

:11:08. > :11:10.neither and they aren't going to get either of those things for the

:11:11. > :11:16.foreseeable future from London, so in the meantime, at least, basic

:11:17. > :11:21.preparations are now starting. Very senior official for the Department

:11:22. > :11:24.for exit in the EU is here in Brussels today from London. He is

:11:25. > :11:28.not talking to us, I should say, but he is talking to officials in the

:11:29. > :11:31.European Commission. That is going to be the basic stuff, how many days

:11:32. > :11:34.a month they will be in talks, who will be in the room, how much will

:11:35. > :11:39.be published about what is said in those talks, those basic things are

:11:40. > :11:43.important, they can be sorted out at the moment. Frankly, there is very

:11:44. > :11:45.little clarity about what else can be done in the coming weeks and

:11:46. > :11:47.months. Kevin Connelly, thank you. Business leaders are

:11:48. > :11:49.warning of a dramatic drop in confidence following

:11:50. > :11:51.the general election result. A poll of 700 members

:11:52. > :11:53.of the Institute of Directors suggests there's concern

:11:54. > :11:55.that the political uncertainty But the organisation

:11:56. > :11:59.says there's no desire Here's our economics

:12:00. > :12:12.correspondent Andy Verity. No industry needs to know more

:12:13. > :12:19.urgently than the car industry what Brexit will mean, in detail. 80% of

:12:20. > :12:22.the cars here at Aston Martin's headquarters in Warwickshire sold

:12:23. > :12:26.abroad. Without free-trade, tariffs could be imposed, boosting the price

:12:27. > :12:29.of cars that go to Europe and making them less competitive. Aston Martin

:12:30. > :12:34.had hoped the election would bring greater certainty about Brexit.

:12:35. > :12:38.Instead, it brought the opposite. That's naturally creates a degree of

:12:39. > :12:44.stress for us, a degree of worry. If you think about the typical car, a

:12:45. > :12:47.typical car requires about $1 billion of investment to create a

:12:48. > :12:52.car of this nature and you are making a ten year bet. When you are

:12:53. > :12:55.making those big dollar bets, doing it in an environment when you don't

:12:56. > :12:58.know next week whether or not trade barriers will exist or not just

:12:59. > :13:04.makes the whole thing more stressful. Before the election, 700

:13:05. > :13:11.directors were asked if they were optimistic or pessimistic about the

:13:12. > :13:15.economy. 37% were pessimistic. But today, a majority, 57%, were

:13:16. > :13:18.pessimistic. Uncertainty has gone right up the Richter scale and that

:13:19. > :13:22.does matter, it matters for all of us, because it makes companies put

:13:23. > :13:27.the pause button on investment and investment today is jobs in the

:13:28. > :13:30.future. Uncertainty can have a deep economic effect. If businesses don't

:13:31. > :13:35.have the clarity and the confidence they need to inch backlit invest

:13:36. > :13:40.large sums in technology and training, productivity, the amount

:13:41. > :13:43.we produced per person, doesn't improve and without those

:13:44. > :13:47.improvements, employers can't afford to pay as inflation beating pay

:13:48. > :13:50.rises. Businesses can also no longer count on the supply of Labour,

:13:51. > :13:54.skilled or unskilled, to be as free-flowing as it has been. They

:13:55. > :13:58.are by no means ready for the change. The onus should be on the

:13:59. > :14:02.Government not just wait for the Brexit conclusions back of the late

:14:03. > :14:07.negotiations to conclude that are set out where they want to get on

:14:08. > :14:09.migrations, where they will rely on things like temporary workers to

:14:10. > :14:12.keep migrants coming into those sectors and which won't, because the

:14:13. > :14:16.ones that won't be able to need to be investing now in training other

:14:17. > :14:20.staff, paying more to recruit British workers or investing in

:14:21. > :14:26.machines. The Brexit uncertainty is already having an affect on one

:14:27. > :14:29.industry which relies on skilled workers from abroad, health. A

:14:30. > :14:33.number of nurses registered to work in the UK is then 90% on a year ago.

:14:34. > :14:36.It is not just work is already here but also those thinking of coming

:14:37. > :14:38.who can't know what the future holds.

:14:39. > :14:41.Theresa May is due to meet the DUP leader Arlene Foster

:14:42. > :14:43.tomorrow, as talks continue between the two parties.

:14:44. > :14:46.A spokesman for the Prime Minister says the talks aim to work

:14:47. > :14:48.towards "a stable government", and it's clear the two parties

:14:49. > :14:59.The leader of Sinn Fein Gerry Adams said any deal between the DUP and

:15:00. > :15:00.the Conservative Party cannot be a good thing.

:15:01. > :15:02.Let's go live now to Stormont and our Ireland

:15:03. > :15:16.It is clear this new relationship is causing concern across the political

:15:17. > :15:20.spectrum? That is right. The DUP find themselves in a position few

:15:21. > :15:25.expected. They are involved in two sets of negotiations. One T-shirt up

:15:26. > :15:34.the government at Westminster and the other tissue up the government

:15:35. > :15:38.-- the Assembly at Stormont. Today, the British and Irish Dortmunds and

:15:39. > :15:40.the five main parties in Northern Ireland are resuming discussions

:15:41. > :15:45.after the break for the general election campaign. The question

:15:46. > :15:48.being asked is, how will negotiations in London and affect

:15:49. > :15:53.negotiations here? Gerry Adams has given a news conference. He is not

:15:54. > :15:58.at all happy at the prospect of a deal between the Conservatives and

:15:59. > :16:02.the DUP. We don't believe that any deal between the DUP here and the

:16:03. > :16:11.English Tories would be good for the people here. And any deal which

:16:12. > :16:15.undercuts in any with the process here, or the Good Friday agreement

:16:16. > :16:21.or other agreements, is one that has to be opposed by progressives. One

:16:22. > :16:25.of the main issues for Sinn Fein is that they would save the

:16:26. > :16:30.Conservatives hedge their Westminster wagons to the DUP, it

:16:31. > :16:36.proves that James Brokenshire can't act as an impartial broker in the

:16:37. > :16:40.Stormont talks. Mr Brogan shura says he doesn't see the need for an

:16:41. > :16:44.independent chair. The 22nd of June is the final deadline for a deal to

:16:45. > :16:48.bring back power-sharing. If that doesn't happen, Westminster will

:16:49. > :16:52.take over running Northern Ireland, what is known as direct rule.

:16:53. > :16:56.Politicians are back behind the talks table today. But they will be

:16:57. > :16:58.thinking about events on the other side of the Irish Sea. Chris Page,

:16:59. > :16:59.thank you. One of the biggest surprises

:17:00. > :17:02.of Theresa May's post-election reshuffle was the appointment

:17:03. > :17:04.of Michael Gove as It's just under a year

:17:05. > :17:07.since Mrs May sacked the former Justice Secretary -

:17:08. > :17:09.and her rival for the Conservative Mr Gove has referred

:17:10. > :17:13.to himself as a "shy Green" But campaigners say that's at odds

:17:14. > :17:17.with his record of opposing measures to combat climate change,

:17:18. > :17:30.as our environment analyst The Highlands of Scotland, Michael

:17:31. > :17:36.Gove has sunk their praises. He has called himself a shy grin.

:17:37. > :17:39.Conservatives, he said, intend -- tend instinctively towards

:17:40. > :17:44.conservation. That instinct was tested in his own constituency. He

:17:45. > :17:50.said the EU's strict laws protecting places like this had forced up the

:17:51. > :17:54.cost of housing, so those laws should be relaxed. Environmentalists

:17:55. > :17:58.oppose his appointment. This is a really concerning appointment for

:17:59. > :18:02.young people. Michael Gove tried to take climate change out of the

:18:03. > :18:06.national curriculum for schools. Young people are really concerned

:18:07. > :18:10.about the environment. If this is an attempt to engage with the youth

:18:11. > :18:16.vote, it is a bad start. It was over climate change Mr Gove most enraged

:18:17. > :18:19.environmentalists, not just by 20 Y bit off the geography curriculum,

:18:20. > :18:25.but by trying to prevent a colleague from attending climate change talks.

:18:26. > :18:27.He has voted against amendments to reduce emissions. Yet within weeks

:18:28. > :18:32.he will have to deliver a clean air strategy. It is a tremendous

:18:33. > :18:37.opportunity to do a job at the heart of government which will ensure we

:18:38. > :18:40.enhance one of our greatest assets, our countryside. I want to do

:18:41. > :18:44.everything I can to make sure we pass on the environment in a

:18:45. > :18:48.stronger condition to the next generation. He will face formidable

:18:49. > :18:54.challenges over the countryside and farming as the UK withdraws from the

:22:19. > :22:26.It sounds like tensions are rising in Moscow? Well certainly there are

:22:27. > :22:30.huge numbers of protestors pouring into central Moscow. There have been

:22:31. > :22:35.large numbers of riot police as well in the last hour or so. We have

:22:36. > :22:41.heard a lot of shouts from just behind me, the beginning of the main

:22:42. > :22:44.street down to the Kremlin. There are hundreds of thousands of people

:22:45. > :22:48.who have been trying to walk down the Main Street and express their

:22:49. > :22:54.protest, to voice their anger and their frustration at the corruption

:23:12. > :23:14.coming in now. Certainly by bringing protestors onto the streets in the

:23:15. > :23:18.centre of Moscow, Alexei Navalny did set the scene for this

:23:19. > :23:22.confrontation, because this is not an authorised protest. He was given

:23:23. > :23:25.permission to hold a rally elsewhere. He said conditions were

:23:26. > :23:29.not right and he called people into the centre of Moscow instead. He was

:23:30. > :23:34.detained as he tried to leave his house. People say that doesn't

:23:35. > :23:39.matter. They say they wanted to come out to voice their protest and call

:23:40. > :23:43.for a better Russia, a different Russia, and to stand up against

:24:43. > :24:46.hole. For the passengers, everything had been normal until suddenly about

:24:47. > :24:52.an hour into the flight, it became clear there was a major problem. It

:24:53. > :24:56.took off as normal and then all of a sudden some of our friends smelt

:24:57. > :25:03.burning. I didn't think anything of it really but all of a sudden it got

:25:04. > :25:07.really loud. I heard a noise and I'm not sure what is the noise, but the

:25:08. > :25:13.cabin crew went out and they were very light, they told us too fast in

:25:14. > :25:17.our seat belts and tried to calm us down. But we were actually very

:25:18. > :25:21.panicked because we had no idea what was happening. It was a little

:25:22. > :25:27.shocking. I couldn't tell what it was a first and then I realised

:25:28. > :25:31.there was a hole in the engine. What could have caused such serious

:25:32. > :25:37.damage to the engine? The plane is an Airbus 330 like this one. It has

:25:38. > :25:40.Rolls-Royce engines and the company says it will help with the

:25:41. > :25:43.investigation, which is likely to look at all potential factors,

:25:44. > :25:49.including maintenance records and whether some kind of object got

:25:50. > :25:52.inside the engine. And meanwhile, there are reports that this kind of

:26:34. > :26:44.Let's speak to our Paris Correspondent, Hugh Schofield.

:26:45. > :26:51.Yes, it looks like Emmanuel Macron has done the double. Having won the

:26:52. > :26:54.presidential election in five weeks ago, becoming the youngest ever

:26:55. > :26:58.French president, he has now pulled off this second clue. If the results

:26:59. > :27:05.are borne out next weekend, he will have a party with as many as 450

:27:06. > :27:09.seats in the 500 and 70 set -- in the Assembly. That is coming from

:27:10. > :27:13.nothing. An extraordinary achievement which will rewrite the

:27:14. > :27:16.face of French politics. What it means is that he will first of all

:27:17. > :27:22.be able to see through his programme of reforms unimpeded by having to

:27:23. > :27:25.make deals inside the National Assembly. That is very important for

:27:26. > :27:31.the French economy. It also means that we have now in France a man who

:27:32. > :27:36.is emblazoned with this aura of optimism and confidence. Everything

:27:37. > :27:40.he has touched so far has turned to gold. Contrast that with Theresa

:27:41. > :27:44.May, who years meeting here tomorrow, by the way, a woman who

:27:45. > :27:45.called the election last week and had a rather different outcome.

:27:46. > :27:47.Thank you. While we've been on air,

:27:48. > :27:50.Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has been addressing her SNP

:27:51. > :27:52.members of parliament in Westminster for the first

:27:53. > :27:54.time since the election. She is calling for a pause

:27:55. > :27:56.in the Brexit negotiations, to allow for a cross-party approach

:27:57. > :27:59.for the whole of the UK. Vicki Young is at Parliament

:28:00. > :28:16.Square in Westminster. What does she have to say? Nicola

:28:17. > :28:21.Sturgeon was here with her 35 newly elected SNP MPs. They did lose more

:28:22. > :28:25.than 20 seats. But she is still hoping as the third party at

:28:26. > :28:29.Westminster they will have real influence. She was very critical of

:28:30. > :28:32.Theresa May, saying there were real doubts about whether the Prime

:28:33. > :28:38.Minister could get together a functioning comment. Nicola Sturgeon

:28:39. > :28:44.also very concerned about any kind of backroom stitch up with the DUP.

:28:45. > :28:47.I spoke to a couple of moments ago and this is what he said about the

:28:48. > :28:51.kind of influence she wants her party to have, particularly when it

:28:52. > :28:55.to Brexit. The approach the government was

:28:56. > :29:00.taking too hard Brexit is dead in the water and cannot stand. I am

:29:01. > :29:05.calling today for a process that is open up to include more voices, all

:29:06. > :29:08.parties and all four nations of the UK, an approach that has continued

:29:09. > :29:12.membership of the single market at its heart. The Prime Minister has to

:29:13. > :29:17.recognise she asked for a strengthened mandate for a hard

:29:18. > :29:22.Brexit and voters refused to give that. She cannot sing the carry on

:29:23. > :29:28.though nothing has changed. Her argument is that the UK or Scotland

:29:29. > :29:32.at least should stay in the single market. She once the emphasis to be

:29:33. > :29:43.on the Okonomiyaki on jobs rather than cutting immigration. She thinks

:29:44. > :29:46.all four nations should be involved. Whether that is Labour or those

:29:47. > :29:53.conservatives who feel the same as she does. Vicky Young, thank you.

:29:54. > :29:57.Time for the weather with Ben Roach. Divided fortunes in our weather this

:29:58. > :30:02.week. It is never as simple as drawing a line on the map and saying

:30:03. > :30:05.one place will get one thing and another something different. The

:30:06. > :30:09.boundary will be blurred. Northern and western areas will see rain at

:30:10. > :30:14.times, it will be breezy further south and east. There will be some

:30:15. > :30:18.sunshine and at times it will be pretty humid. High pressure to the

:30:19. > :30:23.south is bringing the largely dry conditions in southern areas.

:30:24. > :30:27.Towards the north and west, the threat of rain. We do have something

:30:28. > :30:30.of a split today. Generally a lot of clout across the country. Towards

:30:31. > :30:38.the south-east, some good sunny spells. Some showers across

:30:39. > :30:41.Scotland. And across northern areas of the country, Northern Ireland,

:30:42. > :30:47.Scotland and northern England, it is pretty blustery. Maybe the odd

:30:48. > :30:51.shower in northern England. Mostly dry through the afternoon. As we

:30:52. > :30:55.come in to South Wales, south-western England, the Midlands,

:30:56. > :31:01.East Anglia and the south-east, the cloud beginning to break up.

:31:02. > :31:05.Temperatures still at 20 or 21 degrees in the south-east. This

:31:06. > :31:09.evening and overnight we will seek cloud thickening up. One frontal

:31:10. > :31:14.system will spill into Northern Ireland and northern Scotland.

:31:15. > :31:19.Further east and further south, largely dry with clear spells.

:31:20. > :31:23.Particularly the countryside, where it is chilly. Northern Ireland,

:31:24. > :31:28.Scotland, northern England and North Wales a lot of clout tomorrow. There

:31:29. > :31:32.could be the odd heavy shower in north-east Scotland. Further south,

:31:33. > :31:38.dry weather, sunshine. The best of that close to the coastline.

:31:39. > :31:42.Temperatures creeping up. For the middle part of the week, this low

:31:43. > :31:48.pressure will try to squash its way in. But it runs into high pressure.

:31:49. > :31:53.That will force this warm air up from the south, quite humid air.

:31:54. > :31:59.That will waft its way in many southern areas. Split fortunes on

:32:00. > :32:03.Wednesday. Strong sunshine on Sunday -- in the south. Patchy rain for

:32:04. > :32:07.Northern Ireland and western Scotland. A contrast in

:32:08. > :32:11.temperatures. Maybe 27 degrees in the south-east. Cooler and fresher

:32:12. > :32:16.to the north-west. It is in the humid air on Wednesday night into

:32:17. > :32:21.Thursday that we could see some thunderstorms clipping into South

:32:22. > :32:25.eastern areas. Into Thursday, a band of rain pushes in, introducing

:32:26. > :32:29.cooler, fresher conditions. The end of the week still brings some

:32:30. > :32:35.contrast. The North seeing affirmative cloud. Some outbreaks of

:32:36. > :32:39.patchy rain. Further south, cool and fresher. Temperatures still in the

:32:40. > :32:48.20s. Plenty of dry weather and some sunshine. Divided fortunes.

:32:49. > :32:52.A reminder of our main story. It is back to business in Westminster but

:32:53. > :32:55.it is not business as usual after the election result. The BBC

:32:56. > :32:59.understands that the Queen 's speech will now be delayed following

:33:00. > :33:02.Theresa May's failure to win a parliamentary majority. But it is

:33:03. > :33:04.not expected to be delayed for more than seven days.
