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.

Coming up in Sportsday later in the hour on BBC News:

:01:37.:01:38.

11 days before the first Test against the All Blacks,

:01:39.:01:41.

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.

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

treatment here should be continued until they deliver

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.
