Talks continue as Theresa May | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
looks for a deal that will give her a majority | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
She needs the ten seats won by Arlene Foster's DUP | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
in Northern Ireland, but what do they want in return? | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
Issues around Brexit, obviously around counter terrorism | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
and doing what's right for Northern Ireland in respect | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Labour's Jeremy Corbyn had some good lines, and they came | :00:25. | :00:39. | |
Let's come together in a spirit of national unity | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
to keep our country safe, and build a stronger fairer more | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
The Labour Party stands ready to offer strong and stable | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
And even before the deal with the DUP is done, | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
Another squeeze on family incomes as inflation | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
jumps to a four-year high, outstripping wages. | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
An inquest into the London Bridge deaths hears grim details | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
of the knife attacks by three Islamist extremists. | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
Who decides little Charlie Gard's future - | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
The answer now lies with the European Court. | :01:15. | :01:26. | |
You'd think it was a big-budget film premiere - we're in LA where they're | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
unveiling the next generation of video games. | :01:30. | :01:36. | |

the Lions fall short in New Zealand once again. | :01:42. | :02:07. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
Negotiations between Theresa May and Northern Ireland's Democratic | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
Unionist Party are still continuing with both sides confident | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
The DUP leader, Arlene Foster, has outlined her priorities - among them | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
Today the former Conservative Prime Minister John Major joined others | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
who've voiced their concerns over the implications of | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
All of which gave Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn some of his best | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports. | :02:36. | :02:47. | |
They are all here, with new MPs parliament returning to its | :02:48. | :03:00. | |
business. The Commons Speaker elected, well dragged by tradition | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
to his grand chair again. But the Government in charge, not quite yet. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Mr Speaker elect, on behalf of The whole House, may I congratulate you | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
on your election. At least someone got a landslide. Theresa May able to | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
laugh about losing seeds but no deal in place yet, that will prop her up. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
As we face difficult challenges ahead, let's come together in a | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
spirit of national unity to keep our country safe and build a stronger, | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
fairer and more prosperous future for everyone in every part of our | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
United Kingdom. The Labour leader delighted in throwing the Tories' | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
campaign barbs back at her. Democracy is a wonderful thing and | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
can throw up very unexpected results. And I'm sure... And I'm | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
sure we all look forward to welcoming the Queen's speech just as | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
soon as the coalition of chaos been negotiated. Number Ten's hoped-for | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
deal with the Northern Irish unionists kept Downing Street | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
waiting. Even the resident cat is involved in a stealthy power play. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
The DUP, natural lies with the Tories, seemed to be enjoying the | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
big doorstep moment. Are you ready to drive a hard bargain? Arriving | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
for talks, willing in principle, would they sign on the dotted line? | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
But time passed and more time passed. The DUP chose the back door | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
to leave. After nearly two hours of talks the Prime Minister is first to | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
emerge. There is no sign of the DUP. I've been told the Is dotted, but | :04:43. | :04:52. | |
there is no sign of the deal. You cannot blame this small party to | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
seeming cock-a-hoop at the newly public power. Even though their | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
involvement in Government is anathema to some. I think there has | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
been a lot of commentary around the issues we are talking about and it | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
won't surprise anyone we are talking about matters that pertain of course | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
to the nation generally, bringing stability to the UK Government in | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
and around issues around Brexit. Obviously around counterterrorism, | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
then doing what is right for Northern Ireland in respect of | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
economic matters. But relying on Northern Irish party for a | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
government pact is a danger according to one former Tory PM. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Risking Northern Irish peace by appearing to take one side. I am | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
concerned about the deal, I am wary and dubious about it, and the danger | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
is no matter how much any government tries, they will not be seen to be | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
impartial if they are locked into a Parliamentary deal at Westminster | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
with one of the Northern Ireland parties. Yet no deal would be a risk | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
everywhere. Theresa May has few good choices. Chin up, as this card | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
reads. Perhaps her only helpful advice. | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
Let's have a closer look at how critical the support | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
of the Democratic Unionist Party would be in the House of Commons | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
In last week's general election, the Conservatives fell six short | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
of a Commons majority with 318 seats. | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
The DUP, however, enjoyed their best ever general | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
Together they have a total of 328 seats. | :06:26. | :06:39. | |
Getting Theresa May over the line with the majority of six. | :06:40. | :06:51. | |
In East Belfast, people make no secret of their | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
In this flag-waving unionist corner of the city, a deal between the DUP | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
and the Conservatives is seen as a chance for stability | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
To me, personally, I'm British and I want to remain British. | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
I class myself as Northern Irish, but not Irish. | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
Here, people believe Sinn Fein's recent calls for a referendum | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
on a united Ireland are now off the table. | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
And across the political divide here, there is a belief | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
that the DUP can push for money for infrastructure projects, | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
I get more money for Stormont, more money for the Budget. | :07:28. | :07:41. | |
More money for education and things like that there. | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
And there inevitably be some price for the DUP support. | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
During the election, Sinn Fein campaigned | :07:47. | :07:47. | |
However, even here in Republican West Belfast, | :07:48. | :08:01. | |
there's an acknowledgment this could mean extra money | :08:02. | :08:02. | |
In an Irish language and cultural centre, plenty | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
Power-sharing at Stormont may have collapsed, but they share a desire | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
for any cash from a Westminster agreement to be used wisely. | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
Education probably because we're all training to be teachers. | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
I think that is something we're passionate about. | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
But obviously then the health service as well. | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
What are the DUP going to gain for the money, | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
I don't see it as a positive thing for the north. | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
That's about influence and just having a bit of a say there? | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
With the marching season approaching, one Orange Order lodge | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
has called for the DUP to push hard on the contentious | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
But the Order's Grand Secretary says the DUP's priorities for now should | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
This election I believe was about country, country first. | :08:52. | :09:01. | |
That's the United Kingdom and I think the DUP | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
are in a position now to assist the United Kingdom, to ensure | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
there are economic benefits for the whole of the United Kingdom. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
The Conservatives and the DUP believe they share a bulldog spirit, | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
but if they've learnt anything in this election, it's that | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
sometimes you need a little help to remain strong and stable. | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
Well, Theresa May has arrived in Paris this evening to meet | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
We'll speak to our Europe Editor Katya Adler who's there in a moment, | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
but first let's speak to Laura Kuenssberg on events here. | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
In these negotiations with the DUP, who do you think has got the upper | :09:33. | :09:46. | |
hand? Theresa May was not the one with the power, the DUP holds the | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
cards because she needs them. The Tories and DUP have been working | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
together behind the scenes informally for the last couple of | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
years but Theresa May needs them to make a public affirmation. She needs | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
them to sign on the dotted line so she can show she will have enough | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
numbers in the Houses of Parliament to run the country effectively. Even | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
if she gets that deal she will still be looking at a wafer thin majority, | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
but she's extremely vulnerable session needs them on board to shore | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
her up. The DUP from the part, they are hard handlers, wheeler dealers, | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
no strangers to negotiation and although I'm told there's no | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
question of the broad principles not being agreed, the deal as I | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
understand it is pretty much there but the DUP will not let this moment | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
pass without them being able to make the most of it. However risky this | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
deal looks from other people in Northern Ireland, however many | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
people in Westminster share concerns like Sir John Major's, getting this | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
deal done seems not a question of if but when. Senior figures on both | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
sides and told are still talking tonight even though Theresa May is | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
in France. But further down the road, this could store up | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
significant problems for the Prime Minister because doing this deal | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
seems vital to her now but it could be complicated as times proceed. | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
Just listening to Laura, you would have thought Theresa May had enough | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
problems at home without heading off to Paris, Katya? Absolutely but this | :11:23. | :11:31. | |
visit was planned weeks ago and at the time Theresa May planned to | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
sweep into the presidential palace, she wanted to dazzle and intimidate, | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
and with a strong popular backing won at a snap election and her plans | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
for a hard Brexit. She arrived a few moments ago politically humiliated | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
and on the Brexit back foot. What a huge comparison to the new dynamic | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
EU enthusiastic French president, Emmanuel Macron. The meeting itself | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
will be amiable enough, the leaders want to launch joint | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
counterterrorism initiatives, then will be going to a friendly football | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
match and there will be a minute's silence out of respect to the | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
victims in Manchester, London and Paris. But there is no chance here | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
of a Brexit charm offensive. Emmanuel Macron has said he will be | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
tough, and wants to lure businesses here from the City of London. He | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
wants to show leaving the European Union does not pay and he is keen to | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
make an example of the UK. OK, thank you, both. | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
Inflation is rising at its fastest rate for nearly four years. | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
The cost of living, as measured by the consumer prices index, | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
With wage increases failing to keep pace with the rise in inflation many | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Our Economic Editor Kamal Ahmed reports. | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
Whether paying for a foreign holiday, finding the money for the | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
electricity bill or buying your children new clothes, there was only | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
bad news today. Rising prices which have seen inflation increase from | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
0.3% this time last year to 2.9% today, the highest for four years. | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
That rise in prices is biting. Martin is a nurse in Barnsley, the | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
Government have captives pay since 2010. Just for one year we might be | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
able to manage but because it's been over several years and the cost of | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
living has gone up significantly over that period, we are finding it | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
year-on-year and more difficult to manage finances on a weekly and | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
monthly basis. On every high street, higher prices largely caused by the | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
fall in the pound linked to Brexit uncertainty. Real incomes are | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
dropping and the Government is still cutting benefits, public sector pay. | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
Austerity is still with us. It was Nick Timothy, the former influential | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
chief of staff, who I think make the most significant intervention on | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
this issue at the weekend. He said the public were tired of austerity, | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
a message that has cut deep with this Government. Tired indeed and | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
many put the surge in support for Labour down to that weariness, | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
despite evidence controlling the public finances rescued in part the | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
economy. For supporters of a different approach it's time for a | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
change. We have had ten years of austerity and with it real economic | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
failure and weakness. My hope is finally this defunct economic theory | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
will be put to one side and government will have the sense to | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
understand the public sector needs to payroll in reviving the private | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
sector. The PM trying to knit together an agreement with the DUP | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
that could see the end to plant cuts in winter fuel payments and | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
guaranteed pension increases of at least 2.5%, but take care on | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
spending - of warning from George Osborne's former chief of staff. The | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
deficit is much lower than it was so if we ease up now we will probably | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
be OK for a while but if the shock hit the economy we will be | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
vulnerable and repeat the mistakes of the past. It's a toxic mix, | :15:19. | :15:27. | |
expect less on balancing the books and cutting the debts and more on | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
higher government spending to make everyone's life a little easier. | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
they Inquests into the deaths of five | :15:36. | :15:36. | |
of the victims of the London terror attacks have opened | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
and been adjourned. In all, eight people were killed | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
and dozens injured when three attackers drove a van | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
into pedestrians on London Bridge, then stabbed people | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
in nearby Borough Market. Our home affairs correspondent, | :15:50. | :15:50. | |
Tom Symonds, reports. They were mainly in their 20s and | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
30s a period of life when a London night out on a warm summer's evening | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
brings such pleasure. The Coroner's Court heard they were all murdered | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
close to London Bridge and the popular Brough Market. Sara Zelenak | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
was it h21 from Australia. She was found with a stab wound to her neck. | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
For away was James McMullan a London entrepreneur. Also stabbed. Kirsty | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
Boden was 28, an Australian nurse, she was found near Southwark | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
Cathedral with a chest wound. Sebastien, Belanger was 36, French a | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
chef. He was stabbed in the chest in Brough Market. | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
There were doubtless have been more victims had it not been for the | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
heroes of that night. Dr Johnny Moses, off-duty was at a restaurant | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
when it happened. They locked the doors. I said, "I'm a doctor, I'm | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
here to help." They let me out. I felt scared. One of the things I | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
quickly realised that I mustn't give in to that fear. Armed police say | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
"run" he used heart compressions to keep one man alive while he was | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
being carried by helpers towards the bridge. We need to keep the | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
circulation going. Trying to keep the chess compressions going. As we | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
were running we had help from the public. You didn't run from the | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
area. You used your training and probably saved lives. | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
You are a hero, what do you think of that? Wish I could have done more. A | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
key task for the coroners is to examine how the victims died. Not | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
just look at the violence inflicted on them. But also wider issues, for | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
example, the treatment they experienced on the streets that | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
night. The police investigation has closed Borough Market, but it should | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
open tomorrow. Tomorrow Symonds, BBC News. | :17:59. | :18:02. | |

The issue - who decides what's in the best interests of the child. | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
The parents of 10-month-old Charlie Gard, who has | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
a rare genetic condition, want to take him to America | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
Charlie's doctors - backed by three separate court judgements - | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
insist it won't help him and argue he should be allowed | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
But now the European Court of Human Rights has ruled his | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
treatment here should be continued until they deliver | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
Here's our medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh. | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
A precious memory away from intensive care for the parents of | :19:17. | :19:24. | |

and is seriously His parents want to take him | :19:36. | :19:44. | |

why the hospital is We've had to stomach the fact | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
that they don't want to do OK, we don't agree with | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
that, but we have to accept that, but the fact | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
that they are blocking us from taking him to another hospital | :20:02. | :20:04. | |

did consider giving the experimental treatment on offer in the United | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
States, but they and independent experts were unanimous it could not | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
reverse Charlie's serious brain damage and may indeed pro long his | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
suffering. So the kindest option would be to allow him to die. Last | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
week the parents emerged distraught from the Supreme Court in London. | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
Every UK judge involved has agreed Charlie should be allowed to die | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
with dignity. This medical say the courts have to consider what is in | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
Charlie's best interests. This's one of the tran disof human existence | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
that life can become painful and burdensome to any human creature and | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
three sets of judges have and independent experts have taken the | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
view that has become the case with Charlie. Today, judges at the | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
European Court of Human Rights in France said life support must | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
continue until midnight on Monday to give time for the parents to submit | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
their case. Whatever is eventually decided by the court in Strasbourg | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
will seal Charlie's fate. Fergus Walsh, BBC News. | :21:33. | :21:54. | |
The parents of a British teenager who travelled to territory | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
controlled by so-called Islamic State in Syria three years | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
ago, have appealed to the Government to help him now that he's fled. | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
18-year-old Jack Letts, from Oxford, is being held in solitary | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
confinement by Kurdish forces who oppose IS. | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
He's been communicating with the BBC saying he's become disillusioned. | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
Our home affairs correspondent, Daniel Sandford, reports. | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
Jack Letts was the white, middle-class boy from Oxford, | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
just out of school, who ran off to live in so-called Islamic State. | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
That was more than two-and-a-half years ago. | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
Since then, he told us, he's travelled all over IS territory | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
We communicated using the encrypted messaging app, Telegram. | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
He said he'd been injured in an explosion, but insisted | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
he wasn't fighting at the time, and then claimed he'd | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
At first I thought they were on the truce and then I realised | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
So they put me in prison three times, threatened to kill me | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
The second time and the third time, I actually escaped from prison. | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
He claimed that about five weeks ago he used a people smuggler | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
to escape across a front-line littered with landmines. | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
Supposedly we were going to just go to the territories for a bit | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
and then continue to Turkey and then, as soon as we got here, | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
Then after that I was in solitary confinement, until now, I still am. | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
Jack Letts had an average English middle-class childhood. | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
His dad is an expert in ancient grains, his mother | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
That's all we've ever wanted, is to get him to safety. | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
They will stand trial later this year accused of sending their son | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
money for terrorist purposes, which they deny. | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
They told me they want the British Government's help | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
We suddenly got a message out of the blue saying | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
that he was in a safe zone and it was the news we'd been | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
waiting for three years, ever since he went out there. | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
And now we just want to get him home. | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
He will have to account for himself and I completely understand that. | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
If he's had anything to do with IS, I want nothing to do with him, | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
I really despise any sort of group that's extremist like that. | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
The Foreign Office said it wouldn't comment on Jack Letts' case, | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
saying only that it can't provide consular support in Syria, | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
but it is understood officials have been trying to locate him. | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
Neither the BBC nor his parents have heard from him for 12 days. | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
Spanish prosecutors have filed a lawsuit against the Portugual | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
and Real Madrid football star Cristiano Ronaldo, | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
accusing him of tax fraud worth ?13 million pounds. | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
The case relates to non-payment of money linked to image rights. | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
It's one of the biggest events of the year in the gaming calendar. | :24:07. | :24:19. | |
In a few hours' time, thousands of video game fans | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
will get the chance to try out the latest titles and technology | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
Our North America technology reporter, Dave Lee, takes | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
a closer look at an industry that is now worth billions. | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
And now everyone, please, enjoy the ride. | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
It looks and sounds like a Hollywood premier, | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
but this is the launch of Spider-Man, the latest | :24:44. | :24:45. | |
blockbuster game for the Sony PlayStation, | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
It was unveiled in front of thousands of fans ahead of E3, | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
the biggest gaming event in the calendar. | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
There was no new hardware from the company as a more powerful | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
version of its PlayStation was launched last year, | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
but as well as Spider-Man, we also saw several | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
Sony's rival, Microsoft, announced the Xbox 1X, | :25:04. | :25:11. | |
a powerful version of its current Xbox console. | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
It will improve the visuals of its games, but not much else. | :25:15. | :25:23. | |
It comes in at ?449, that's twice the price | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
I think you and I both know there's a certain customer that wants | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
How many of those customers do you have, do you think? | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
I think in the gaming community there's a large | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
Putting the choice in the hand of the customer is important. | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
We have power and performance and value across the whole line. | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
These big glamorous events obviously cater to the hardcore fan, | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
but for the more casual gamers among us these expensive upgrades | :25:48. | :25:49. | |
It's not necessary to buy these boxes. | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
You're not going to lose out on any games because the games | :25:57. | :25:58. | |
work on both, sort of, the lower end and the higher end. | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
It's not going to do anything massively different than it did | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
before, but it's just nice to know you're do gaming | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
Once the show floor is fully opened later this week we'll begin to see | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
then if the new games can start to live up to the hype and continue | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
to fuel what has grown into a ?70 billion industry. | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
Time for a look at the weather. Here's Nick Miller. | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
Warmer weather on the way for some of us. Our weather watchers can make | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
any weather look good. It helps if you have sunshine. We saw in | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
Somerset today. In Belfast, even though it was overcast for a time, | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
doesn't this look lovely. There is a range of weather across the UK. It | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
depends how close you are to high pressure. England and Wales closest, | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
more settled compared with Scotland and Northern Ireland, closer to low | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
pressure. More cloud around here, more breeze and occasional rain as | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
we have seen in Scotland today. There have been heavy showers | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
around. Outbreaks of rain pushing northwards. The starry skies in | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
England and Wales. The lowest temperatures in the countryside, | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
away from town city centres, single figures. Blue sky to start the day | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
in England and Wales. Patchy cloud will develop, maybe an isolated | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
shower in northern England. Most places continue with warm sunny | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
spells. Sunny breaks to Scotland and Northern Ireland. Most will be dry. | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
Far north-west of Scotland will see outbreaks of rain and breeze. A | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
range of temperatures compared with the best of sunshine and occasional | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
I sunny spells. Upper 20s in south-east England. In England and | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
Wales high pollen levels. For some high UV as well. Be aware and take | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
the necessary precautions. Plenty of dry weather tomorrow evening. | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
Another weather system coming in from the Atlantic. There will be | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
rain on Thursday in Northern Ireland and Scotland. Blink and you will | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
miss for England and Wales a band of cloud and showers on Thursday. It | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
will feel fresher. It will be breezier. Here are your Thursday | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
temperatures. Friday into the weekend across southern parts of the | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
UK the heat is going to build once again. That's it. Thank you very | :28:10. | :28:16. | |
much. Go our main story today. In the last few minutes, Theresa May | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
has arrived in Paris to meet the French President but back home she | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
is still in talks with the DUP to give her a parliamentary majority. | :28:26. | :28:30. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, | :28:31. | :28:33. | |
and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :28:34. | :28:35. |
