Good afternoon, and welcome to the BBC News at One.

It's taken 18 days but a deal HAS now been done between the DUP

and the Conservatives which will guarantee the party's

support for Theresa May's minority Government.

In what's described as a 2-year 'confidence and supply' arrangement,

the Prime Minister has the backing of the DUP's 10 MPs,

after losing her majority in the general election.

But while DUP leader Arlene Foster has successfully negotiated a deal

worth a BILLION pounds, she faces some perhaps

tougher talks ahead - parties in Belfast have raised

concerns that the DUP-Tory deal has undermined the negotiations

on restoring devolution at Stormont and the deadline for THOSE

Our political correspondent Iain Watson reports.

Why has it taken so long? Theresa May had wanted to seal a deal with

the DUP soon after the election but it's taken two and a half weeks, but

that was with relief she came out to greet her new allies and potential

political saviours in Downing Street. The DUP leader Arlene Foster

admitted progress had been slow but her claim to be at the heart of UK

politics seemed to be borne out by the signing of a formal agreement

with the government. Today we have an agreement with the Conservative

Hardy on support for government in Parliament. And she certainly

announced which parts of the Conservative manifesto she'd

succeeded in beating Wing. Both parties have agreed there will be no

change to the pension triple lock and the universal nature of the

Winter Fuel Payment across United Kingdom. And she revealed how much

the government was willing to pay for her support. We welcome this

financial support of ?1 billion in the next two gears as well as

providing new flexibility is an almost ?500 million previously

committed to Northern Ireland. As a consequence spending power of almost

one and a half billion will be available to address the unique

circumstances of Northern Ireland. So what else does this handshake

mean? Deal is intended to last for a full parliament and would ensure

support for laws on national security, guaranteed financial

support for farmers, maintained defence spending as a share of

national income and of course deliver Brexit. The deal with the

DUP means Theresa May will win a crucial vote in the Queen's Speech,

her legislative programme for the next two years, here at Westminster

on Wednesday but the scope of that deal is limited. It doesn't mean she

will get support on a whole range of other issues in Parliament which

means she will still face knife edge boats in this place in the coming

months. But there is a bigger issue, the Good Friday Agreement sign every

20 years ago, largely ended the conflict in Northern Ireland.

Theresa May critics says it could not be at risk. The government can

no longer be seen as an evenhanded negotiator in the Northern Ireland

peace process. That is a very high price to pay to cling on to power

regardless. But the government says an extra billion pounds will help

the peace process and encourage the return of the power-sharing

executive to the problems. This money will be spent by the Northern

Ireland executive, it won't be spent by a party, it will be spent by an

executive chats to be by law, cross-party so everyone in Northern

Ireland will be able to express priorities and benefit from this

extra support. Incredibly influential, that's how Arlene

Foster has described her ten MPs, the of today's the make that ever

got to dispute. Our Political Correspondent Chris

Mason is in Downing Street. A deal but at a price? Yes, at a

price and at a big price, Simon. One and a half billion pounds, an extra

alien pounced magic out of some work, they'll be questions about

exactly where that money emerges from, an additional half ?1 billion

which DUP sources say was technically allocated to Northern

Ireland all ready by the previous government but was now impossible

for Northern Ireland politicians to access, but has now been listened to

make sure they can get hold of the money but there have been questions

raised from critics effectively saying what about us? The Labour

First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones saying exactly that, this his view

amounts to a bunk to prop up the Prime Minister and a week

government. Worth reflecting that even with those votes, those ten MPs

from the Democratic Unionist Party, willing to back the Conservatives on

big votes but not every boat, it's still only leaves those two parties

with a working majority of 13, in other words, very precarious, you

only need a large taxi full of disgruntled Conservative MPs to say

we don't like this particular thing on a particular night and Theresa

May still has a huge headache. Chris, thank you.

As we've heard - there could be considerable fallout to this deal

The DUP hasn't been involved in negotiations at such a high level

in Westminster before, but has taken part in many talks

The latest deadline to restore the power-sharing

Northern Ireland faces the prospect of direct rule from Westminster

Our Ireland correspondent Chris Page reports.

The DUP began as a party of protest, now it's very much a party of power.

Its founder at the Reverend Ian Paisley once embodied hardline

unionism. Never, never, never! But eventually there was a remarkable

compromise. In 2007 the DUP reached an agreement with Sinn Fein, is to

paste became the joint head of a power-sharing default government

along with the former IRA commander Martin McGuinness. However the

relationship between the parties was never easy. Earlier this year Sinn

Fein pulled out of the Stormont executive, Northern Ireland has been

without a default government for almost six months. Two deadlines

have already come and gone but the government says Thursday really is

the final date to restore power-sharing, otherwise it's likely

ministers in London have to take over making decisions for this part

of the UK. This former DUP minister thinks the deal in Westminster

increases the prospect of fun at Stormont. All politicians here will

want to see extra money for health and education, if there is extra

money coming for specific infrastructure projects, that will

benefit everyone in Northern Ireland, not just DUP boaters. There

are a number of sticking points at Stormont, Sinn Fein want legal

recognition for the Irish and would, the DUP have been opposed to

bringing in same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland. Some observers

think nationalists will be wary of the deal between the main Unionist

party and the Conservatives. Sinn Fein in particular and the other

ones that count are going to be very suspicious of what's in the deal

because even if there is a document and details, first they had to

decide if there's anything else behind-the-scenes that we don't

know, what could there be, for either be? The key question here is

that the agreement to stabilise the UK Government will help to bring

stability to Northern Ireland. There are just over three days left to

save devolution. The last talks to 18 days, no luxury

of that with this set. That's absolutely right Simon and right now

here at Stormont negotiators are the game closely at this document would

which outlines the deal between the DUP and the Tories at Westminster. A

lot will depend on how Sinn Fein react to it, they haven't said

anything publicly yet. As ever in Northern Ireland, there are two ways

of looking at this, one is, many millions more for schools,

hospitals, roads, what's not to like? The best thing is for people

to get back into government and spend that cash, on the other hand,

could nationalists feel a sense of unease about the DUP and

conservatives working closely together in London, could it mean,

some of them would say, the DUP get special favours amounting to them

getting an answer advantage when it comes to politics back home? Andy

Moore talking to be done here, not a lot of time to do it, an apparent

redlined version Wenger Re: Arlene Foster herself, they said they would

not serve in a power-sharing executive led by the DUP leader as

First Minister as long as a public inquiry is going on into the

controversial green energy scheme at the centre of the row which brought

down the institutions of government here back in January and that public

inquiry is expected to go on until next year. So that in particular is

one circle that it is hard to see how it can be squared, time is

certainly running out here for Eddie Leie, the government says that there

is no deal by Thursday, the Kos public services in Northern Ireland

had special measures to get going, it will take Westminster ministers

to unlock the cash flow and that means direct route from London.

Chris, thank you. Every single one of the sixty tower

blocks that has been tested since the fire at Grenfell Tower,

has failed fire safety tests - and more than 500 more

still need to be tested The Prime Minister is expected to be

updated on the scale of the crisis when she chairs a meeting

of the Grenfell Tower Recover Our correspondent

Tom Burridge reports. Residents in Camden still moving up

this morning. Matteo and Angela told us they didn't feel safe. We don't

own the flat and so we found out from an article online that we had

to move out so we came back straightaway and we found lots of

people, we couldn't sleep year. It was force on a third night sleeping

in a sports centre. So many people and their pets suddenly without a

home. Hundreds moved out at the weekend as cladding similar to that

on Grenfell Tower was stripped of. Any though have stayed put and

experts say the cladding is just one factor. It's an in total combination

of things, you can have a cladding fire and no one be killed, we've

seen that in Dubai and Melbourne in Australia and I think what Camden

have found, something far more complex going on in here and that's

why they've taken the action have. In other parts of the country like

you're in Billingham in County Durham were cladding is being

removed. Similar scenes are expected in Doncaster. Samples of the suspect

cladding had been brought to the building research Establishment in

Watford, this old company video shows a test on building insulation,

not cladding. But on a smaller scale samples of cladding from 60

buildings across the country have now been tested and not one has

passed. What's not clear is whether the company's tests are stricter

than national bio-safety standards before Grenfell Tower. And in

Portsmouth, the authorities are urging the government to also think

and possibly act on privately owned buildings to. There's been a lot of

hotels and other types of buildings that have been clad, we don't know

at this stage whether there is problems in those as well but there

may very well be cause the companies built in. And private sector

developments have not been obliged to send away samples and I think

that's something the government ought to look out, there ought to be

some consistency if the material is on safe on one type of building,

it's unsafe on all. Samples of cladding from hundreds more

buildings are due to be tested, this afternoon the prime ministers will

meet the Grenfell Tower task force, one central question is how cladding

for which apparently breached fire safety rules was installed on tower

blocks across the country. Thousands of residents from four

tower blocks in North-west London are being housed in temporary

accommodation after being told to leave their homes on Friday

following fire safety concerns. Our Correspondent Keith Doyle

is at a nearby leisure centre Some residents refusing to leave,

what's happened to them? The building behind me has been at the

centre of this evacuation was as since Friday night, 100 people

stayed here, last night just 14 people stayed here, the rest of the

broad thousand people have either been given temporary accommodation

or as you say they refused to move. Camden Council and giving exact

numbers but we estimate around 200 people remain in their flats in the

four blocks here on this estate. How far Camden Council will go to remove

them, we simply don't know, they say they are going to keep talking to

them, they said the work cannot get under way until the blocks are empty

but we do not work is under way, 200 fire doors, self-closing doors, they

arrived and work is under way today to install them as well as other

remedial works. But you know, even people who have been rehoused,

there's still a lot of upset, Immelman told me she is in hot hotel

room, four children, one cooker ring and a bed, a small fridge, clearly

upset, the disruption and upset is continuing. Keith Doyle, thank you.

Tom Symons is with me now. We were told that the cladding was legally

they did, it seems everything at the moment is failing government tests,

how does that happen? It's quite possible with the government tests,

we haven't been given details but I understand the government may make

the details available later, that those tests are stricter and tougher

than the current building regulations, this is material that

on the face of it, should be legal under building regulations. The

regulations effectively say any material used on the outside of a

tall building has to be of limited combustibility, the cladding used at

Grenfell Tower volzing to that category, it was given certification

in 1997 which allowed it to be of limited combustibility because the

planes don't spread very fast according to that test. Grenfell

Tower fire seems to suggest otherwise. Of course other factors

may have played a part so all of that suggests actually the big look

now was going to be building regulations. They've evolved over

time, many experts say they have not evolved to take account of these

kinds of new refurbishment procedures and councils are using,

the kind of cladding they are using to make buildings look better and be

better insulate it so I think that is for everyone will look in future.

Tom, thank you. The first real details

of the government's plans for Brexit will appear in the next few hours -

when Theresa May outlines the UK's offer to EU nationals

after we leave the European Union. The Prime Minister will make

a statement to MPs revealing what she's prepared to offer EU

nationals in the UK - and the guarantees she'll seek

for British expatriates in Europe. Our Political Correspondent Leila

Nathoo is in Westminster. There are are are still some

sticking points with whatever these details are? That's right, Theresa

May has already outlined the broad thrust of what she intends to

offered to those 3 million EU citizens currently living in the UK.

She has said those who have been here a lot play for five years will

be given a package of rights including education, welfare, using

the health service and pensions. Everything British citizens have

apart from the right to vote. But there are many unanswered questions

yet on the details surrounding this proposal, for example, what would be

the cut-off date for eligibility for those citizens to apply for this new

settled status as it is called? We know the government says it will be

sometime between the end of March this year when we formally began the

process of leaving the EU and in two years' time when we actually read

but we don't have a date as yet. We don't know what will happen to the

relatives of those living here and those living abroad, Theresa May

said she does not want families split up or people sent home and

there would be a chance for people to apply to regularise their status

and gain years to build up the time to be eligible to be settled. But

there is a big question about who would arbitrate this system, British

judges or European judges? Theresa May has been clear she wants to

leave the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice but this

is a reciprocal deal, she will only offer this to EU citizens in the UK

if British citizens are granted the same rights, those living in use

member states are granted the same lights. The response the EU so far

has been this is not sufficient. Theresa May will give her statement

to the Commons later this afternoon and the details will be published

and we will look at them alight by line. Thank you.

And you can see more on that on a special programme on BBC One at

8:30pm. After 18 days the deal is done -

the DUP signs an agreement with the Consevatives to bolster

Theresa May. At its heart - money -

an extra ?1 billion He used to dream of

festival to a close on a high. Coming up in sport: a week away

from the start of Wimbledon, qualifying is under way

at Roehampton and there's plenty of British interest in the warm-up

event at Eastbourne. An inquest has begun into the deaths

of five young friends who drowned during a day trip to Camber Sands

on the south coast last August. The men all lived in the London area

and were of Sri Lankan origin. The circumstances surrounding

the deaths of two other swimmers who died at the same beach the month

before, will also be Duncan Kennedy is outside the

inquest in Hastings in East Sussex. Yes, this is an extremely rare

example of a double inquest because the coroner is looking at both of

these incidents, the one where the five men drowned on Camber Sands in

August last year and the other where two men drowned on exactly the same

stretch of beach just a month beforehand. The family of the five

men who drowned said to us today this had been an appalling tragedy

for a family but they hoped nobody else would have to go through what

they have been through. These are the pictures which were taken as the

horror of that warm sunny day last August unfolded. By the end of that

day it became clear that five men including two brothers had drowned

on Camber Sands. Today the men's families who live in London came to

the inquest in Hastings to hear the details of what happened to the

loved ones. And to speak of what their loss meant. We are just hoping

to learn that things will be more secure and safe, lifeguards, the

beach more protected, that is our only thought, this is what we want,

it is what you hear from. What have the last ten months been like for

you and your family? Jo tragic, tragic is the world. It's been

helpless. Nitharsan Ravi was one of the five men to drown, the other

words where Kenugen Saththiyanathan, his brother Kobikanthan

Saththiyanathan, Gurushanth Srithavarajah, and Inthushan

Sriskantharasa. They were all friends and had travelled to Camber

Sands for a day out at the seaside. But it seems they all ran into

difficulties on the huge undulate insurer line and lost their lives.

The shock of their multiple deaths was deepened by the fact that just a

month beforehand, Mohit Dupar and Gustavo Silva da Cruz all so joined

the same beach. Mohit Dupar had gone into the to help Gustavo Silva da

Cruz but both men lost their lives. There were no permanent waveguides

on the beach -- lifeguards. The District Council decided it would

station patrols near this year after what it called significant and

unprecedented deaths. Lawyers for the families of the men who died

said today they were keen nobody should suffer the same appalling

tragedy that they have been through. This inquest is expected to last

about a week but the coroner has already said it will be made clear

about recommendations for safety on Camber Sands and it could also apply

right around our coastline. A minute's silence has been observed

across the country to remember those affected by the terrorist attack

month of Ramadan ending at the weekend there is normally a sense of

unconstrained joy as Muslims come together to celebrate. But following

that attack in the early hours of last Monday morning that Joy has

been pre-empted by a sense of sober remembrance. The floral tribute in

Finsbury Park a reminder of events just a week ago. The fourth

terrorist attack in just three months. And at midday a minute 's

silence, the nation invited to pause and remember those impacted by this

latest attack. And then gathered outside influence internal, civic

leaders, the local mayor and members of staff, many working and living

locally all gathered to show solidarity with the Muslim community

in this multi ethnic part of north London. A gesture greatly

appreciated by the chair of Finsbury Park Mosque. We know we are here in

a diverse community. We live in harmony for a long time, we never

had problems, most people who try to divide us have failed and we have

proved that in the last few days. That is why I am really glad that we

have come together to make sure these people fail. And those

sentiments were echoed by the leader of England can cancel -- Islington

Council who said the incident was designed to divide but it

underestimated the people of this community.

Now, steering the Royal Navy's new ?6 billion aircraft carrier out

of port this afternoon will be a nerve-jangling affair

for the team taking her out for her first sea trials.

They have just 50 centimetres between the bottom of HMS

Queen Elizabeth and the seabed - and that's not a lot of room

And once at sea they're expected to attract rather a lot

of unwelcome attention - from the Russians.

Here's our defence correspondent Jonathan Beale.

The biggest warship ever built in Britain is about to go to sea

It's been one of the largest, most complex engineering projects

in the UK that has taken years and cost more than ?3 billion.

HMS Queen Elizabeth is now ready to set sail.

Her crew of 700 are finding their way around the labyrinth

inside and getting used to life on board.

Yeah, the beds, just the bed alone are bigger than you get on normal

ships anyway so that's always a good start.

Yes, everything is better when it's newer, isn't it?

It will be another year before the first jets take off and land

and she won't be fully operational until 2021.

But this is a significant moment for the Royal Navy,

it'll have been without an aircraft carrier for almost a decade.

I think there are very few capabilities by any country that

are as symbolic and totemic as a carrier's strike capability.

Submarines you can't see, these are very visible

symbols of national power and power projection.

But first, they'll have to carefully manoeuvre this massive ship out

of the dock with the help of 11 barges.

Just to give you a sense of scale, from one end of the deck

to the other is about 300 metres, that is the length of

As far as height, from the keel to the top of that mast,

that is taller than Nelson's Column and in fact they are going to have

to lower that mast as they slide her through this dock,

very narrow spaces and eventually having to take her under

That will be the beginning of her first sea trials.

And later this year, if it all goes according to plan,

she will be sailing into her new home of Portsmouth.

Our Scotland Correspondent Lorna Gordon is in Rosyth

I suppose steady as she goes? Yes, there has been no secret that this

aircraft carrier was getting ready to head out onto its sea trials and

I think there will be a number of countries who will be taking an

interest in what it gets up to in the North Sea, not least the

Russians. They could well send planes, submarines and ships to take

a closer look to try to work out its acoustic footprint and its

capability. This after all is the largest ship ever built by the Royal

Navy come up for the Royal Navy, so vast that no 1-yard of capable of

building it in its entirety, the work had to be spread throughout the

UK and at its height 10,000 people were involved in the nine-year

build. It really is a vast aircraft carrier, roughly three times larger

than the previous class. You got a sense of how complicated the

manoeuvre will be to get it out into the Firth of Forth, the teams are

waiting for low tied and then 11 targets will be involved in

manoeuvring it out of the dock, there is little room for error.

About a foot on each side, about two feet between the bottom of the

vessel and the sea bed. When that manoeuvre is completed it will park

up here in the Firth of Forth waiting for the low tied to then get

under the bridge. It will be an interesting afternoon, a lot of

people taking an interest as this ship gets out into the North Sea.

because it's going downhill, it is quite often muddy there but this

year it was dry most of the time, the clouds rolling and of the

Atlantic, this picture earlier on from Cornwall, very cloudy skies.

Nice picture from Scarborough. Still some beautiful weather around but

the clouds rolling in, the jet stream is pushing in weather

systems, this week, not looking too great. Gardens will get a watering

but so will we. This is the first weather front heading our way,

moving in the direction of Northern Ireland, you will be the first to

get the rain, right now you can see it's clear across most of the UK,

let's start with the South West, Glastonbury ending nicely dry today,

sunshine across the south-east, right now beautiful weather across

many parts of the country, low 20s in London, the teams are most of us.

A few showers across Northern England and Scotland. Just

peppering. Northern Ireland is quickly going downhill, clouds

rolling in, we are going to focus on this because it will be raining

quite hard through the course of this evening and overnight across

this northern part of the country, from about rush hour on words, soggy

in Belfast and then it moves into Carlisle and the lowlands, quite a

bit of rain across Lancashire generally, the Lake District,

clipping northern parts of Wales as well. In the South it's looking dry

so if you read your washing out in the south it should be fine.

Tomorrow we are in between weather systems, compromised by two areas of

low pressure which is never good. The rain moves across the north, to

the south we might get thunderstorms, the basic message

tomorrow is a lot of cloud, a lot of hit and miss rain, cannot tell you

exactly what time it will happen but if you're out for a length of time

take an umbrella. Those compromising areas low pressure are still with us

on Wednesday and they are stuck, they have decided to sit on top of

the UK, they are on Wednesday, central area is quite heavy, that

band of rain will stick around through the course of Wednesday and

into Thursday, by the end of the week it will be lingering. Dark

clouds, unsettled, spells of rain and it will be cool, would feel

summery at all. That's all from the BBC News at One,
