:00:28.:00:33.

about the impact of Brexit talks on the economy.

:00:37.:00:40.

against the All Blacks in great form, after an emphatic warm-up win

:01:40.:01:42.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:43.:02:07.

The Chancellor Philip Hammond has put Britain's future economic

:02:08.:02:11.

prosperity centre stage in any Brexit deal.

:02:12.:02:16.

In particular Mr Hammond called for a "jobs first" settlement.

:02:17.:02:19.

He also wants immigration to be managed but not

:02:20.:02:21.

Labour says the Chancellor is distancing himself

:02:22.:02:27.

from the Prime Minister's tough line on Brexit, accusing the cabinet

:02:28.:02:29.

The Chancellor's comments come on a day when the Governor

:02:30.:02:35.

of the Bank of England has warned of the risks of the

:02:36.:02:37.

Here's our economics editor Kamal Ahmed.

:02:38.:02:45.

A year on from the referendum and cars waiting in sunny Southampton

:02:46.:02:52.

for a journey to the continent of Europe, exports to the European

:02:53.:02:55.

Union like these are a key driver of our economy, an economy that the

:02:56.:02:59.

Chancellor said would now be at the heart of those complicated Brexit

:03:00.:03:05.

negotiations. Speaking at the Mansion house in central London

:03:06.:03:07.

Philip Hammond said without a flexible deal with the EU the

:03:08.:03:14.

economy could be at risk. When the British people voted last June and

:03:15.:03:19.

they did not vote to become poorer or less secure. They did vote to

:03:20.:03:24.

leave the EU and we will leave the EU, but it must be done in a way

:03:25.:03:29.

that works for Britain. In a way that prioritises British jobs and

:03:30.:03:36.

underpins Britain's prosperity. Alongside Mr Hammond today the

:03:37.:03:39.

governor of the Bank of England. He said that Brexit was likely to make

:03:40.:03:42.

people poorer and that they would need to be a transition period after

:03:43.:03:48.

the completion of the Brexit process in 2019. In Monetary Policy

:03:49.:03:52.

Committee prevent weak or real income growth that is likely to

:03:53.:03:55.

accompany the transition to new trading arrangements with the EU. It

:03:56.:03:59.

can support households and businesses as they adjust such

:04:00.:04:04.

profound change. The two great economic offices of state, here is

:04:05.:04:07.

the Bank of England and about two miles down the road that way the

:04:08.:04:11.

Treasury, and the leaders of those two institutions I think came

:04:12.:04:18.

together to date to make a big point about Brexit up of the economic

:04:19.:04:21.

wealth of Britain First, they both said, even if that means some

:04:22.:04:26.

sacrifices on those controversial issues of sovereignty and strict

:04:27.:04:31.

controls on immigration. Another port, another city, Belfast.

:04:32.:04:37.

Mr Hammond and Mark Carney spoke about struggling consumers are weary

:04:38.:04:42.

of austerity command shoppers today admitted that they were feeling the

:04:43.:04:46.

pinch. I think things maybe are going up in price a wee bit, and

:04:47.:04:51.

obviously if wages aren't going up people will be feeling the pinch

:04:52.:04:54.

that bit more. At the moment I haven't really seen much of a

:04:55.:04:57.

difference, there is a lot more offers and things in supermarkets. I

:04:58.:05:03.

think they have gone up, they don't match wages, to be honest. Higher

:05:04.:05:07.

prices, Brexit, the need for a good deal. There were plenty of warnings

:05:08.:05:11.

today but the economy has been far stronger than people expected since

:05:12.:05:14.

the referendum. I don't think there is any doubt

:05:15.:05:17.

that since the Brexit referendum the pound has fallen. Now, it is a glass

:05:18.:05:23.

half full or half empty. Clearly that has meant there is higher

:05:24.:05:26.

inflation and that has had a knock-on effect for real incomes but

:05:27.:05:29.

on the other hand it has been a much-needed boost to exports, we

:05:30.:05:34.

really needed that boost because the currency was overvalued. It was a

:05:35.:05:37.

day for stepping back and taking the wider view on the economy. An

:05:38.:05:41.

economy for consumers so uncertain, Mr Carney said there would be no

:05:42.:05:44.

interest rate rises in the near future. Sunny today, yes, but there

than he has before in calling for a transitional period on leaving the

saying there should be no rush to drive down net migration figures for

the sake of business. He said there should be compromises, for the sake

:06:52.:06:53.

of hanging onto the benefits, if not the membership of the customs union

:06:54.:06:54.

for as long as necessary. Loss of this will go down rather badly with

:06:55.:06:57.

many Conservatives, including ministers. Philip Hammond, who is

:06:58.:07:00.

the Chancellor, might well have been sacked if Theresa May had got the

:07:01.:07:03.

result in the election she hoped for. Instead, he has emerged a

:07:04.:07:07.

powerful figure, and as for Brexit, it looked tough, but with the

:07:08.:07:18.

Conservatives command in no great strength in the House of Commons it

looks tougher still than the final outcome of Brexit in these

I don't want to be there. I want to be at home with my family. Yesterday

we met Miguel Alves in his hotel room. Today it's no longer his

family's home. They threw me out from the hotel because it was fully

another hotel in ravens Court and now we have to move everything back

charges have been brought in the UK against a bank

investigation by the Serious Fraud Office and relate

to the way they raised billions Those charged include Barclays'

Barclays came here, to Qatar, for emergency

cash to keep it afloat. In 2008, Barclays raised

a total of ?12 billion from Middle Eastern investors,

including Qatar Holding, There was a sweetener,

down Government money? The Chief Executive at the time,

and one of the people charged today, The circumstances were

:14:50.:14:52.

very far from normal. We needed speed, we needed

:14:53.:14:57.

certainty and we needed size. Looking back on it, I have to say,

:14:58.:15:05.

given the extreme fragility of the sentiment in the markets

:15:06.:15:08.

at that time, I'm very glad indeed that we managed to raise the capital

:15:09.:15:11.

that we did raise at that time. Government ministers at the time

:15:12.:15:14.

have a different explanation. Barclays did not want

:15:15.:15:16.

to have anything to do I believe that was partly

:15:17.:15:18.

because of a political view that this would look like creeping

:15:19.:15:23.

nationalisation and also, quite frankly, because the UK

:15:24.:15:26.

Government's money came with quite Now, if it's proven that crimes

were committed here, to some it still won't be clear

:15:30.:15:41.

who the victims were. The taxpayer didn't

:15:42.:15:51.

have to shell out. Shareholders in Barclays did better

:15:52.:15:52.

than shareholders in RBS or Lloyds, but others will say rules are rules

:15:53.:15:53.

and if this approach of prosecuting individuals as well as institutions

:15:54.:15:53.

helps change a stubborn culture throughout banking of not

:15:54.:15:54.

following those rules then Now we're starting to move to a more

American approach where individuals are in the frame for doing things

A review into the murder of toddler Liam Fee has found that

were "missed opportunities" to intervene on his behalf.

and her partner Nyomi Fee after they'd subjected him to

Liam Fee's short life was marked by escalating abuse and neglect.

When he died, he had more than 30 injuries,

was his childminder, Heather Farmer.

:21:24.:21:27.

She said she had a gut wrenching feeling that

:21:28.:21:30.

something was wrong, but she didn't know

:21:31.:21:32.

Today's review said that the authorities missed

:21:33.:21:38.

opportunities to potentially prevent the harm Liam suffered.

:21:39.:21:43.

It stated there was a lack of professional curiosity.

:21:44.:21:55.

That explanations provided by Rachel and Naomi Fee

:21:56.:21:57.

were at times accepted without challenge and when concerns

:21:58.:21:59.

were raised about Liam the incidents were dealt with in isolation.

:22:00.:22:02.

We fully accept the doctor's findings in her Significant Case

:22:03.:22:04.

Review and we acknowledge we could have done

:22:05.:22:06.

I think however it's important to point out than when we're working

:22:07.:22:11.

with devious and manipulative people, such as Liam's

:22:12.:22:18.

actually understand what's happening in the household.

:22:19.:22:20.

The review said the extraordinary measures Rachel and Naomi Fee took

:22:21.:22:28.

to disguise their abuse did hinder attempts by the authorities to help.

:22:29.:22:31.

The two are now serving life in prison for Liam's murder.

:22:32.:22:33.

The Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has been charged

:22:34.:22:37.

with two counts of tax fraud in Spain.

:22:38.:22:41.

He was the manager of Real Madrid from 2010 to 2013, leading

:22:42.:22:44.

Mr Mourinho has not commented, but has previously denied any

:22:45.:22:50.

wrongdoing, saying he paid a tax rate of 41% during his

:22:51.:22:52.

There has been a huge upset at Queen's

:22:53.:23:21.

World Number One Andy Murray has lost his opening tennis

:23:22.:23:23.

match in defence of his Aegon Championships title.

:23:24.:23:25.

The top seed lost to Jordan Thompson -

:23:26.:23:27.

90th in the world - in straight sets.

:23:28.:23:29.

Back on home turf - for Andy Murray, a return

:23:30.:23:32.

to the grass courts of London normally spells success.

:23:33.:23:35.

But his search for a record sixth title at Queen's

:23:36.:23:37.

His opponent, Jordan Thompson, was a late replacement,

:23:38.:23:40.

The first set went to a tie-break, and it was Murray that lost it.

:23:41.:23:45.

And it soon got even worse - Murray was lacklustre,

:23:46.:23:56.

Thompson, the world number 90, no less, utterly inspired.

:23:57.:23:59.

Beautifully played by Jordan Thompson.

:24:00.:24:00.

The Australian duly raced to a straight-sets win,

:24:01.:24:02.

one of the biggest shocks in the tournament's history,

:24:03.:24:04.

and with Wimbledon less than a fortnight away,

:24:05.:24:06.

for Andy Murray, some serious thinking to do,

:24:07.:24:07.

If you're sweltering at home this evening, you're not alone,

:24:08.:24:12.

most of the country is set for its hottest spell

:24:13.:24:14.

It's prompted the Met Office to issue a warning

:24:15.:24:18.

Our correspondent, Sima Kotecha, is in Brighton.

:24:19.:24:24.

It's been a hot day for many of us. It's believed the hottest place

:24:25.:24:35.

today was in Surrey. With a top temperature of 31.3 degrees. These

:24:36.:24:39.

temperatures and conditions aren't expected to last much longer.

:24:40.:24:45.

Sunshine over Brighton beach and people here are relishing every

:24:46.:24:50.

minute of it I'm here with my woman. You are a beautiful woman myself.

:24:51.:24:53.

Enjoying the weather. Beautiful weather. Glorious everything is easy

:24:54.:24:58.

in the sun. Sit and have a beer. Have lunch at the Grand. It's

:24:59.:25:03.

amazing. Sarah's birthday, couldn't be better. Temperatures reached 27

:25:04.:25:08.

degrees today. In London a hot 3 p 1 degrees. It's too hot at the moment.

:25:09.:25:13.

I've never really known it quite so hot as this. For sleeping, it's

:25:14.:25:20.

diabolical. So what is a heatwave? The Met Office doesn't have an

:25:21.:25:25.

official definition but says heatwave conditions are created when

:25:26.:25:30.

temperatures reach more than 30 degrees Celsius for five consecutive

:25:31.:25:34.

days. That is what will happen if the conditions continue Thomas

:25:35.:25:36.

expected, making it the hottest spell in four years. In these hot

:25:37.:25:41.

temperatures you can see people cooling themselves off over here

:25:42.:25:44.

using their paddle boards to get some relief from this blazing hot

:25:45.:25:48.

weather. If these temperatures are to continue for the next day or so,

:25:49.:25:52.

it will mean that this June will be the hottest June on record in more

:25:53.:25:59.

than 20 years. Is the Met Office issued a level three amber warning

:26:00.:26:02.

until Thursday morning. It means hospitals and other emergency

:26:03.:26:06.

services are on alert. We had high temperatures for the past few days.

:26:07.:26:10.

That is because we have seen warm air arriving from the tropical

:26:11.:26:13.

Atlantic. It has been with us for a few days. It's been getting warmer

:26:14.:26:19.

and warmer every day. In Cambridgeshire sweltering

:26:20.:26:21.

temperatures meant that the tarmac on the roads melted. The chimps in

:26:22.:26:27.

Dunstable were suffering. They were given ice lollies to keep them cool.

:26:28.:26:32.

The TUC are urging bosses to allow people to ditch their suits and ties

:26:33.:26:37.

in this weather. Some are already doing so. Ordinarily for my working

:26:38.:26:41.

day existence I would wear a suit. Having come here to Brighton, I'm

:26:42.:26:44.

not going to be wearing a suit in this temperature. These conditions

:26:45.:26:50.

aren't expected to last. Rain and thunderstorms are forecast for

:26:51.:26:51.

tomorrow night. Sima Kotecha, BBC News, Brighton.

:26:52.:27:01.

Hatoyama is it going to get? One more day of this heat. Tomorrow

:27:02.:27:06.

highs of 34 degrees. Beautiful sunshine around around today.

:27:07.:27:10.

Temperatures up to 31 Celsius in a number of spots. Plenty of sunshine.

:27:11.:27:18.

An odd shower to the Brecon beacons. Showers working into Northern

:27:19.:27:21.

Ireland. More significance over night as you head to bed, 10.00pm,

:27:22.:27:26.

look at these temperatures. 26 degrees Celsius. Yes, it's going to

:27:27.:27:32.

be an uncomfortable night sleep ahead for sure. There will be rain

:27:33.:27:35.

moving across northern parts of the UK as we go on through the night and

:27:36.:27:40.

into Wednesday morning as well. The bulk of England and Wales it will be

:27:41.:27:44.

a typical scene we got used to over the last few day, clear blue skies

:27:45.:27:48.

and sunshine. It will be hotter. 34 degrees on the cards. If we get

:27:49.:27:53.

that, it will be the hottest June day for over 40 years. Wednesday

:27:54.:27:57.

evening and Wednesday night-time we will start to see big thunderstorms

:27:58.:28:01.

being formed by that heat and humidity that has been building up

:28:02.:28:05.

for a few days. The storms will become extensive on Wednesday night

:28:06.:28:09.

and thunder and hail mixed in with these. Torrential bust bursts of

:28:10.:28:13.

rain and gusts wind. The storms around for the first part of

:28:14.:28:17.

Thursday morning for eastern England before clearing are into the North

:28:18.:28:19.

Sea. The afternoon bright are conditions. Temperatures coming

:28:20.:28:22.

down, still warm across eastern England, a fresher feel to the

:28:23.:28:26.

weather for most of us with bright or sunny spells. That is how the

:28:27.:28:30.

weather looks Friday and on into the weekend as well. Temperatures closer

:28:31.:28:33.

to average for the time of year. Quite a bit of cloud, sunny spells

:28:34.:28:37.

coming through. Temperatures 23 degrees or so in London. The

:28:38.:28:41.

heatwave is coming to an end. Perhaps more significantly towards

:28:42.:28:44.

the end of the week we will get more comfortable weather forgetting a

:28:45.:28:47.

good night's sleep. Thank you very much.

:28:48.:28:52.
