12/06/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin

Theresa May prepares to face criticism of her election campaign

and leadership style in a meeting with her own backbenchers.

Today, the Prime Minister need to explain to the MPs why the election

result was a disaster. We will be asking experts about the future of

We also have our very own Larry the cat.

Good morning, it's Monday the 12th of June.

Also, Steph is finding out what businesses think of the election

results. New research suggests that confidence has fallen because of the

political uncertainty following the election and concerns about Brexit

talks. I will be talking about it with business leaders.

Just weeks after he was elected President of France,

Emmanuel Macron is on course to secure another stunning victory,

this time in the country's parliamentary elections.

They take a point in Serbia but yet another draw in World Cup qualifying

only just keeps alive their slim hopes of qualifying for next year's

Cheese that grows on plants and fish fingers made from chicken,

we'll find out where some children think their food comes from.

A breezy day ahead. Particularly windy across Scotland and north-east

England. We have showers, many will fade and many of us will have a dry

day. I will have more details in about 15 minutes.

Theresa May will today meet backbench Conservative MPs and set

out her case for staying on in Downing Street.

The Prime Minister will also chair a meeting

Michael Gove - one of the driving forces behind Brexit -

Mrs May is also still trying to secure a deal

with the Democratic Unionists to ensure they'll back

Our political correspondent Tom Bateman reports.

Back at the heart of government, Michael Gove's last regular

appearances on this street were before to May became PM. She sat to

old opponent after the bruising EU referendum campaign. He will now sit

alongside Boris Johnson. The two men spectacularly fell out over the Tory

leadership contest last year. The Foreign Secretary has denied having

his eye on the top job again, calling for MPs to rally around Mrs

May. Jeremy Corbyn did not win this election. It is absolutely right

that she should go at head, form a government and deliver on the

priorities of the people. I'm going to be backing her, absolutely

everybody I'm going to be talking to is backing her as well. Mrs May's

reshuffle sees Damian Green, an old friend of the Prime Minister, become

first Secretary of straight. Effectively Mrs May's number two.

The former secretary Liz truss has been demoted, taking a lower ranking

job in the Treasury. Other key figures as they when Iraq -- they

are, including Jeremy Hunt and Liam Fox. Mrs May will hope the

reshuffle, most notable for its lack of changes, will help every gel to

Tory MP. She said last night she intends to stay in her job. I said

during the election campaign that if re-elected, I would intend to serve

a full-time. What I am doing now is actually getting on with the

immediate job. -- actually. I think that is what the public would

expect. They want to see government providing that certainty and

stability. But life without a majority the House of Commons will

be very different. The PM may have to wait goodbye to some of her

policy plans. Today, she will meet with her own backbenchers, many of

whom will be looking for reassurances. She now faces the

challenge of starting Brexit talks with her authority weekend and her

long-term future still in doubt. In a moment we'll speak

to our Ireland correspondent Chris Page in Belfast,

but first Chris Mason is in Downing Chris, it's been a tough few days

for the Prime Minister, and potentially more

trouble ahead today? And huge day this morning for the

Prime Minister. This is the last thing she would have imagined just a

week ago. The whole point of this election campaign was to turbocharge

her authority, to cement her position as the dominating political

figure of the coming years. Instead, as opposed to being turbocharged,

the result has wheel clamped, really, her future. She is a stark

and really struggling to impose her authority on her party. Publicly, we

are seeing senior figures are saying they want to support and backup but

along stampedes -- amongst MPs, particularly those who lost their

seats, there is a visceral anger. A real disappointment. This was a

voluntary decision to go to the electorate and has turned out to be

a complete disaster. Plenty will hope she will be humble in front of

backbench MPs meeting this afternoon at around five o'clock. The other

big question, I couldn't resist bringing this out this morning, it

is this document. It is meant to be the sacred text of government for

the next five years with the Conservatives winning big, that was

her aim. Instead, she will have to decide with the conversations with

the DUP, how much of it gets ripped up. Fascinating times.

Chris, there was confusion at the weekend about whether there

is actually a deal in place with the DUP.

Well, the talking will continue but I think there is little doubt that a

deal will be done. The question is what shape that you will take. In

terms of what the DUP are pushing for, according to sources in the

party, they are keen for more investment and more money for the

economy in Northern Ireland and want a stronger voice on Brexit as well

as issues specific to this part of the UK. They want to talk about part

of the whole of the UK for example patterns and they want at the Winter

fuel allowance for older people to be protected. -- pensions. What is

less certain is to whether there will be an agreement to restore

power sharing here in Northern Ireland. Talks will begin egg and

this morning after there was a pause during the general election

campaign. -- to begin this morning again. Sinn Fein increased their

strength in the general election as well and they have strongly

criticised the deal between the DUP and the Conservative Party and say

it shows the British government cannot act as an independent,

impartial Paparone, if you like, in a talks process. That impartiality

is in the Good Friday agreement which is the foundation stone of the

power-sharing settlement here. There has been concern expressed that

nothing should happen to put the Good Friday agreement at risk. They

will be back to the talks table at Dell fast today. Thank you very much

for that, Chris. -- Belfast. Later we'll be hearing from a former

DUP Northern Ireland Assembly member about what they'd be expecting

from a potential deal. Nicola Sturgeon will call

for a cross-party "four nation" approach to the Brexit negotiations

as she joins Scottish National Party The First Minister of

Scotland wants membership of the European single market

and the customs union to be "at the heart" of any agreement,

with the rights of EU nationals living in the UK guaranteed

with immediate effect. The SNP won 35 seats in last

week's general election, Detectives investigating

the London Bridge attack have made A 19-year-old man was detained

in Barking on suspicion of terrorism offences shortly before

ten o'clock last night. Exit polls following the first

round of France's parliamentary election suggest President Macron's

new centrist party is on course Projections show La

Republique en Marche and its MoDem ally look set to win

up to 445 of the 577 seats The final outcome will be decided

in a run-off next Sunday. It is amazing when you consider they

are only one-year-old. Both the White House

and Downing Street have dismissed a report that Donald Trump wants

to delay his proposed state visit to the UK, until he has the support

of the British public. An online petition was signed

by nearly two million people who wanted to block

the American President's The opposition was inflamed

by Mr Trump's criticism of London mayor Sadiq Khan's response

to the London Bridge terror attack. Many children are confused

about where their food comes In a survey of more than 5,000

children between the ages of five and 16 some thought

cheese comes from plants, tomatoes grow underground and nearly

a fifth of the very youngest thought The healthy eating week threw up

some surprising results. Around a quarter of all children thought

strawberry jam could be included as one of their five-day portions of

fruit and vegetables to a lot of people thought that fruit pastilles

would count. There was a bit of confusion about where food came

from. Something reflected in their responses of these youngsters. Do

you know what fish fingers are made from? Chicken. Blair fish. Dead

fish. Fish and breadcrumbs. Tomatoes, where do you get those?

The shop. Trees. The ground. S tomato plants. Dew nowhere cheese

comes from? No idea. -- do you know. No. Not sure. It's made out of milk.

Just under a quarter of a 5-7 year old in the survey thought that

prawns were plant and one fifth thought that chips were made from

animals. The managing director of the British nutrition foundation

said that schools and families should and could work together to

educate children about making healthier choices. Andy Moore, BBC

News. I'm not sure which is my favourite

thing. A tree that grows cheese or a prawn plant.

I loved it when they said where the fish fingers come from and she said,

the. Clever, clever child. Cast your mind back one year ago. We were

dreaming around this time of Welsh glory, won't we? Yes. Remember, it

was hugely positive, really exciting, we were hanging all of our

hopes on them. They still have major challenge on

their hands. There was a shot from the penalty shot but the group

leaders equalised leaving aside four points behind with four games to

play. For the first time since 1966, and England football team has won a

World Cup. Everton forward scored the only goal of the game.

Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the only goal

of the game as the Under 20's beat Venezuela 1-0 in South Korea

Lewis Hamilton dominated the Canadian Grand Prix,

And in Paris, Rafael Nadal won a record tenth French Open title.

The King of Clay made light work of Stan Wawrinka in the final.

What you do to celebrate? You throw yourself on the clay. That's what he

has done every year. Ten! Ten! It's ludicrous. He is coming to Queens in

a couple of weeks, yeah. Andy Murray is obviously number one at the

moment that he won Queens and Wimbledon so he needs to pick up

those ranking points because guess who could be number one now, it

could be Batman there. Incredible to think that he has come from a wrist

injury -- that man. He thought his career was over, not so much.

Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

The weather is quite changeable this week. What we have is some rain and

we have showers around this morning. It will be breezy at times.

Temperatures could hit high 20s in the south by the time we get to

Wednesday. The other thing worth bearing in mind is pollen levels.

They will be higher this week across much of the UK. If you have an

allergy to grass pollen, buried in mind. A lot of showers are coming in

on the breeze today -- bet that in mind. The wind will be strong today

across parts of central and southern Scotland and north-east England,

particularly the final across the corridor. They're that in mind if

you are travelling. 40- 15 mph. You might find some restrictions on the

Forth Road Bridge. We have showers today in northern England and also

some sunshine. As we go into Wales, the West Midlands, again, showers

are around but not all of us are seeing Duscher was. A bit of cloud

as well. In Southern counties, East Anglia and the south-east, a similar

scenario. Some bright spells but many of the date -- many of the

showers will fade throughout the day and we will see some writer breaks

develop in this cloud. It will be quite a breezy day, particularly in

the north to the centre of the low pressure. Temperatures up to 19 or

20 today. Not quite dizzying heights of 24 that East Anglia saw

yesterday. A pleasant enough day. A lot of dry weather around. In the

south south-west, some patches of fog forming. Becker cloud will

introduce outbreaks of rain across Northern Ireland, south-west

England, parts of Wales and also western parts of Scotland. That is

courtesy of this weather front here. As we move further south, I pressure

is becoming more established settings will be quieter and more

settled. There goes that rain, moving towards the east throughout

the day. A lot of cloud is associated with it but further

south, we are into the sunshine and it will warm up tomorrow. We are

looking at highs of the 23- 24 mark. Further north, we are still in the

mid- high-teens. For Wednesday, Wednesday is looking at the warmest

day for the week in the south. We could hit 27 or 28 in the sunshine.

UV levels will be higher, up to eight in the index. Normally in the

UK, the highest weekend is ninth Circuit that in mind. In the north,

we have the weather front producing some rain. -- so bear that in mind.

As we split up into Aberdeen. For Thursday, mixed fortunes. A lot of

dry weather and sunshine and temperatures 17- 23. All we bit of

everything going on in the weather this week.

We shall look forward to that. It is with us to have a look at the papers

today. It is nice to be back. Let's have a look at the front page of the

Times this morning. We told you the story earlier on about trumpet

visiting Britain. Their main story this morning is that may signal is a

soft Brexit. We will be discussing that throughout the morning. Michael

Gove returning to the front bench and more of a shuffle than a

reshuffle, really. Not that many changes made and this picture here

of an actress who spent the day judging a dog show. I can't reveal

any spoilers from her show, I am yet to see it. The Daily Telegraph has a

picture of Michael Gove is being called in to save Theresa May. We

also have analysis on the programme about the deal or no deal with the D

U P. The Irish Prime Minister warned Theresa May that he packed with the

D U P could put the peace process in Northern Ireland at risk. Questions

have been raised about the possibility of the government

remaining unbiased. Another horror crash, Richard Hammond rolling down

the hill on a car but eventually caught on fire. He came out with a

fractured knee in the end. The main story is that labour is in a power

bid. Jeremy Corbyn says he can Prime Minister in months, forming a

minority government. Sale, what do you have? I know many people had a

lot of fun of the last couple of days saying England have won the

World Cup. It is just because as broadcasters we like to be able to

save at least once in a generation. Talking about this image here. This

is the England under 20 goalkeeper yesterday fool 's son of the former

goalkeeping coach at Newcastle united and this boy here, this man,

is Gareth Southgate's godson. How is that for footballing heritage? His

good friends with Andy Woodman and was asked to be godfather to his son

and now he is the hero, the penalty saving hero for the England under 20

side. There was a great penalty save because he went the wrong way and

still managed to get a powerful hand on it. That was lovely. Fantastic to

see. But talking about legends, we mentioned him a moment ago. Rafael

Nadal, last year he left Roland Garros in tears but here he is,

triumphant yesterday fool 's dog an incredible ten time winner. The king

of Paris they call him. He celebrated in his traditional style

by rolling around in the clay. The front page of the Guardian talking

about Theresa May pleadings of support as her future hangs in the

balance. And this is how the front page of the mail has written it. A

lovely piece inside one of the papers today, a great quote from

Adam West, the Batman legend who died over the weekend. When Robin,

in one episodes is to Batman, where did you get a live fish from, as he

whips out a live fish. Adam, as Batman, says the true crime fighter

always carries everything he needs in his utility belt. Even a live

dish. 20 past six. Good morning to you.

Theresa May will today meet Conservative MPs and set

out her case for staying in Downing Street.

Theresa May will meet her newly-formed cabinet later

to discuss a deal that could see the Conservatives supported

in parliament by the Democratic Unionist Party.

As news spread of a possible deal on Friday, the DUP's website crashed

as people tried to find out who the party are,

It was founded by Ian Paisley back in 1971.

It is pro-union, pro-Brexit and socially conservative.

The DUP is the biggest party in Northern Ireland.

It has ten MPs in Westminster, making it the fifth largest party.

Some of its policies have come under scrutiny.

It opposes same-sex marriage and is anti-abortion.

But in return for supporting the government, it's expected

the party will instead focus on extra cash for Northern Ireland,

and likely oppose big austerity changes to pensions and benefits.

Nelson McCausland is a former DUP member of the Northern Ireland

So the first question, has a deal been done yet? I think the leader of

the D U P has been clear that discussions are still ongoing. They

will continue today and probably tomorrow as well. I think you picked

up on some of the key points there. The party are generally anti-

extreme as regards austerity. They are a compassionate party and so is

to oppose the removal of the triple lock for pensions and to oppose, for

example, the introduction of means testing for winter fuel payments. So

it is generally pro- Brexit, strongly prounion party. And going

into discussions are now they will be looking very much at the

interests of the United Kingdom as a whole because of this particular

time there is a real need for stability. They would want to ensure

that there is as much stability of was able at Westminster. Picking up

on some of the policies we discussed. We know, for example,

views on same-sex marriage and is very much an anti-abortion party.

Would they be proposing that those should be extended for Northern

Ireland? The position of the D U P is to be pro- life and pro- family.

The reality is that these are matters that are devolved to the

north of Ireland assembly, they are not issues that would be dealt with

at Westminster. Those things not even being discussed. Are they read

lines as far as the D U P are concerned? Despite one of the big

issues for the party will be around Brexit because of the land border

between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. They want to ensure

that whatever the final shape of the outcome it does not impede movement

across the border. At the same time, they want to ensure that nothing is

done to restrict free movement from Northern Ireland into the rest of

the United Kingdom and right across the United Kingdom. Let's talk a

little if we can about for example, what the Irish Prime Minister was

saying, he called Theresa May to express his concern over a deal. He

said he was seeking assurances to make sure that nothing would put the

Good Friday agreement at risk. In the UK government continue to be an

honest broker within this environment? I listen carefully to

what he said. The strongest criticism of the position of the

Conservative Party has come from his party but then they have a record of

always criticising Secretaries of State. Previously they would --... I

don't suspect there will be much support. The reality is that the

Conservative government is the government of the day. The Secretary

of State is the person to look after the affairs of Northern Ireland

should have no problem there in terms of negotiations to restore

devolution in Ireland. What do you say to people of concern about the

length of the D U P to a violent past? The reality is there are links

to a violent past. It is a democratic Unionist party. Members

of the party were targeted by the provisional IRA, along with reddish

soldiers and a lot of other innocent people. The fact is it is a

Democratic Party and has views very much in line with some within the

Conservative Party on many issues. Thank you for your time this

morning. We should make clear as we did on Saturday, that we have put

in, we have a D U Petre talked with the and to this point they have

refused an invitation. -- we have asked the D U P to talk to us.

Hopefully we will be speaking to someone from the party a little

later on. We'll have the headlines

in a moment, but first Steph is in the City of London

for us this morning. Good morning from Mansion House,

the official residence Across from me you can see

the Bank of England - A lot of people having to work this

morning. Lots of business people and people in general are wondering what

on earth is going to happen next. What does all of this legal

uncertainty mean for our economy and for daily business life at the

moment? There has been some research by the Institute of directors, an

organisation that lots of business leaders are members of, looking at

what exactly I mean, at how people feel about it. They polled their

members and asked them about how they felt stuck around 65% of them

said that they feel that business confidence is fallen now, they feel

uncertain about what the future may hold. That is political uncertainty

we have now is not really helping them. Many people are thinking come

on, we need to get on with Brexit talks and get some certainty into

the business world so they can plan and work out their investment with a

nest. This does not help the mood in the city like this. Businesses all

over the country are trying to work out what it means. There was an

initial reaction on Friday to the result in the currency markets.

Since the referendum we have seen how much the pound has fallen

against the euro and against the dollar and obviously when that

happens it really hits the cost of buying things from abroad so

bringing things into the country gets more expensive. It is good for

exporting, goods manufacturers who sell things bought the then buying

components from other parts of the world can add to the cost of things

for them which is why we are starting to see prices going up in

the supermarkets. Because of that cost and the change in currency

markets. It fell dramatically when the referendum happened, when we got

that result and we saw a fall again on Friday with the pound down about

1.7%. Falling a bit of the back of all that. It may change again. We

will get more information about what is going on. I will be here talking

to business leaders about what will happen next for them. First, new

Now, though, it's back to Louise and Dan.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

We've brought number ten to Salford - complete with Larry

the Downing Street cat - We'll be finding out what drove

Britain to vote the way it did and where we go from here.

As the Prime Minister continues trying to strike deal

with the DUP to create an effective Government,

we'll speak to Brexit secretary David Davis

He was given just months to live but Ian Toothill took on one

of the biggest challenges in the world.

He became the first cancer patient to conquer Everest and he'll be

here to tell us about his extraordinary achievement.

But now a summary of this morning's main news.

Theresa May will today meet backbench Conservative MPs and set

out her case for staying on in Downing Street.

The Prime Minister will also chair a meeting of her newly reshuffled

Michael Gove - one of the driving forces behind Brexit -

Let's speak to our political correspondent Chris Mason who's

Chris, it's been a tough few days for the Prime Minister,

and potentially more trouble ahead today?

I think that is an understatement. It will be as very difficult few

days that the Prime Minister. The whole point of this election would

that it would turbocharge her authority and she would be the

dominating political figure of her time. Ahead of those Brexit talks

starting in a week. Instead of it being a turbocharged, she has

wheelclampers political authority. Hugely diminished within her own

party and across the country, yesterday's cabinet reshuffle was an

indication of that. A cabinet reshuffle is meant to be a big

exercise of prime ministerial power and authority. It was pretty much a

non- event and that tells you everything you need to know about

Theresa May's diminished authority. Yes, she has brought Michael goes

back and that is symbolic. She is trying to make the case that the

Conservative tent is broad and she is willing to listen that this is

the exact opposite. The absolute nightmare scenario where she would

like to be a week ago. I have waited -- weight is around a bit in

Breakfast. This is the Conservative manifesto. --I have waived this

around. How much of this will she have to shred publicly in order to

accommodate that DUP of Northern Ireland? And proper self up into

government. Nicola Sturgeon will call

for a cross-party "four nation" approach to the Brexit negotiations

as she joins Scottish National Party The First Minister of

Scotland wants membership of the European single market

and the customs union to be "at the heart" of any agreement,

with the rights of EU nationals living in the UK guaranteed

Republique en Marche and its MoDem ally look set to win

up to 445 of the 577 seats The final outcome will be decided

in a run-off next Sunday. Nearly five months after

President Trump took office his wife, Melania,

and son Barron, have moved They had stayed behind in New York

so 11 year-old Barron The First Lady is the first

in modern times not to move straight in, but she's tweeted

that she is looking forward to the memories the family

will make in their new home. A new poll suggests many

children are confused Nearly a third of five

to seven year olds surveyed by the British Nutrition Foundation

thought that cheese came Just over one in five of the infants

believed that animals Nearly a quarter thought

prawns come from plants. And a fifth of those

questioned thought that chips If you are watching us this morning

and your children think that food comes from funny places, do get in

touch. So much sport going on. It was a

busy weekend. I am dying to talk to you about the triathlon. Exciting

doesn't begin to describe it. Wales manager Chris Coleman thinks

they need to win all four of their remaining World Cup

qualifiers if they're to make sure A penalty from Aaron Ramsey gave

them the lead against Serbia in But the home side equalised,

leaving Wales four points behind the group leaders,

with four games left. We were looking to win it in the

last ten minutes. Once they equalised, we had two or three break

away is where it could have been different but overall, a good game,

a tough game. Two good things for us. A point, it's a good point.

The Republic of Ireland are second in that group,

level on points with Serbia - and they're still unbeaten

after a 1-all draw with Austria in Dublin, thanks to Jon Walters'

For the first time since 1966, an England national football team

Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin with the goal.

They needed keeper Freddie Woodman to save a penalty in

And the national side's senior manager believes this could be

Obviously, ultimately, the aim is that those players come through to

the seniors and a big part of that now is the event to get

opportunities with their clubs because I think they have shown, if

the under 20s were world champions, there is enough players there to

fulfil careers in the game without looking elsewhere.

Rafael Nadal said he thought he'd be fishing on his boat by now,

not winning a Grand Slam for a record 10th time.

He cruised past Stan Wawrinka in straight sets

in the French Open final, to take his 15th major title -

and he thinks one of his best, considering he's now

I have 31 already. Because of the level of tennis and accepting I have

been under physical problems for a couple of times in the last three

for time, it is an important one. You cannot write him off. Who else

can you never write off? The Brownlees. This is the first time we

have seen them compete since Mexico last year when Alistair carried

Johny over the finish line. There was a familiar sight in Leeds

- but still a thrilling one - when for the second year in a row,

double Olympic Champion. Alastair Brownlee beat his

brother Jonny to victory in the World Triathlon Series

in their home town. It was their first race together

since Alistair carried Jonny over the line in last year's

finale in Mexico. Johnny came out those in the

swimming and Alastair caught him out and on the back leg, they were over

one minute ahead. Where was everybody else behind them? Over one

minute. Incredible. A brilliant performance.

England's women were beaten by the Netherlands in their hockey

The Dutch are the world's number one team and they went 2-0

ahead before Sophie Bray brought England level.

It went to penalties - and there was some revenge

for the Netherland's, who lost in a shoot out to TeamGB

My first win here, ten years ago, this is incredibly special. I have

to thank my team that made this impossible. The guys back in the

factory to work hard to really fix what we had in the last race to

bring it here. If you are looking at the television at home thinking that

they recognise the sports broadcaster. It is, in fact, Sir

Patrick Stewart of Star Trek and X-Men fame.

Four days on from the general election and there still seems to be

We've brought Downing Street to us here at Breakfast.

Dan has gone downstairs to a mock-up Number ten where he's meeting

I am not really inside the real number ten. This is more Perspex

than glass but look at our little set that we have managed to put

together. It is complete with some of the lamp posts and the front

door, the famous front door, just slightly smaller than it is in real

life. The way you can tell is it is fake, the door actually opens from

the outside because the real number ten doesn't even have a keyhole in

it and you can only open it from the inside. We have our slightly own

slightly dishevelled -- very own slightly dishevelled Larry the cat.

In case you were wondering, it is not real. We have been talking about

protest and policy. We have a panel of voters with us throughout the

morning. The first is that of austerity. You are a midwife. I

wonder how austerity generally affects your everyday work as a

midwife. Leak on the NHS needs investment. -- clearly, the NHS

needs investment. You will see a division in the care that is

provided otherwise. The public sector pay cap was one of the

reasons that I voted Labour. It really is public services in general

but specifically the NHS. The staff that work there need investment.

They are tired, they are demoralised, they need to be

rewarded for the... So when you cast your vote last week... Investment in

the NHS was absolutely key. As a midwife, the promise in the

manifesto about proper support for infant deaths and bereavement

support for parents who lose our baby, these things are really,

really important to me and Labour were promising what I wanted them to

do and specifically invest in the NHS which we all use, we all should

be proud of it. With you feeling that in the education sector as a

teacher as well? Absolutely. We are creating unequal economies, unequal

communities. Stress is being put on families. Children are turning up to

school hungry and teachers as well as teaching and learning are having

to deal with the well-being of their child. The decision is being made

whether to give them breakfast. It is impacting on the well-being of

the child. In terms of the life of the child, they are in a classroom

where there are unprecedented numbers. The social divide between

the children who are there and doing very well who have access to

technology, access to wonderful life experiences and yet at the same

time, the poorest, the fifth of the community who are there without the

same life chances and life experiences are having to compete

together, worked together and what message are we giving to those

children when we want them to succeed and do well for our country?

Well covered in terms of healthcare, we have a midwife and two doctors.

From your perspective, social care has been a big issue in this

election campaign. The last few weeks and months as well. Was

austerity are part of that and a decision on when you cast your vote?

Completely. I am a GP. We are a rare and dying breed. You can't get in to

see a GP. You can't get a hospital bed and we are short of money.

Everybody knows we are short of money. It's a great idea, let's take

another service that is short of money and join the mob. That will

generate lots of new money that will look after all of the shortfall in

and we will have a marvellous, working, fully paid for NHS? No. It

won't happen. We have seen people picking up the pieces. Doctors,

nurses, people are doing it from a vocation and goodwill and actually,

that is running out. GPs are leaving. Jeremy Hunt made this

promise to recruit GPs and he has lost GPs since he made that promise.

People are seeing it and feeling it every. People are in pain and

waiting longer to see doctors. So, Alison, small business. Where

you nodding when you heard reports like that from the other side of the

sofa? I am nodding but one thing I think, what we've failed in is lack

of support for small business in both manifestoes. After all, would

we have power of the X amount of cash and if we don't support

businesses than that pot of money stays exactly the same. For me,

again, more support and I think what we find it now is that entrepreneurs

are very resilient. They are used to moving and doing things on a

sixpence per what they will do now is, if we do not support them, they

do not employ people. And we don't -- do not employ people, we do not

get tax. It perpetuates. It's great to say that we can support social

care and the NHS but without the port itself, the criticisms I saw

where people were changing was to do with the money tree comments. You

know what? There is no money tree. There is a set amount of money that

we have and we need to support small business to increase the size of

that money tree. It is an interesting issue. But speak to two

of our experts who will be with us through the morning. Tom from the

head of pensions at Lansdown, we were together in North Wales, in

London. And Tom, austerity, you hear the difference it makes to people's

lives. As it has been an issue since 2010 in elections, are we likely to

see Theresa May and the Conservatives easing off a little

after the result? They do have an interesting conundrum because I am

sure they still believe in the imperative to balance the books,

everything we used to hear from Philip Hammond and George Osborne.

They were not successful bringing the budget deficit down, they spoke

about it, they did not really deliver it. They have been punished

at the polls for being too austere now. So do they, did a double down

on the austerity? Do they say no, it is still about being fiscally

prudent, balancing the books, getting finance back in order? We

still really need to get the public sector back in place where it is not

haemorrhaging money, which is how they perceive it. Or, do they say

look, we were punished at the pollster that, let us listen up a

little bit. But spend a little money on the state pension triple lock.

But spend money on the NHS, make ourselves popular again because,

probably, they have half an eye on the next election and how that one

will play for them. One of the other issues we saw last week was to using

the Conservatives may be overestimated what happened with the

Ukip vote was to mark maybe half of the wing conservative but half of

the Winter Labour Party as well. I think they got the vote wrong in the

sense that the assumption was that if we talk a lot about Brexit, Ukip

voters will come to us. Many Ukip voters had fled from Labour and they

assume Brexit is a done deal now and they did not like what they have

from the Conservatives about the economy so they went back home to a

party that, in the context of Brexit, will would invest more on

public service. That debate about austerity, left the Conservative

shot. Partly because Philip Hammond was not allowed out on the campaign

trail so he could not come out and counter some of the promises from

Labour on spending. I noticed that nobody has touched a pastry so far

so please feel free to tuck in. We shall be back on our sofa outside

fake ten and will later on that lets catch up with the weather.

If you are stepping out and you have an allergy to graphs pollen, these

are the levels. High or very high. -- grasp them. Warmer this week and

by Wednesday parts of the south could have Ted Richards reaching 27

or 28. UV levels will also be high, we look at a figure of eight, about

as high as it gets in the UK. This week we will see very little in the

way of rainfall is that there will be some, but nothing too heavy.

Breezy at times and warmest mid week in the south. Today, low pressure

dry Sao weather. This front introducing some showers. You can

tell by the squeeze on the ice above there will be a fairly breezy day

but particularly windy across central and southern Scotland and

north-east England. In Northumberland in particular. You

can see the funnelling effect we have across the valley where there

will be discussed is the wind. Showers across Scotland and across

to Northern Ireland in northern England. Quite a lot of cloud around

this morning as well. Some showers as well across Wales and the north

Midlands, fewer showers across southern England but it is a lot of

cloud. Nonetheless, we will see that cloud turnover and some of us will

see some sunshine, particularly so as we lose a lot of the showers

through the course of the afternoon and we see sunshine developed

elsewhere. It will be breezy, the wind is easing a touch on the north

of the country and if you happen to be in the sunshine, it will not be

as warm as was yesterday, especially in East Anglia. The warmest part the

UK 24 Celsius, today we look at 20 may be 21, pleasant enough still. As

the head on into the evening and overnight there will be clear skies

developing with the patchy mist and fog falling across southern counties

and into the south-west. And then a new set of weather fronts, our way

of bringing rain. No particular cold night won't be particularly cold

start to the day. These are the front bringing that rain, turning or

shower, large space between the highs of us are not as windy. That

means that the southern areas that will be warm and sunny and drier

than it has been today. Showers rivalling from the north-west of

England across the north-east, they will be hit and miss and the rain

coming in from Scotland. Top temperatures today between 14 and

24. Into Wednesday, high pressure still has a good grip on whether in

the south a lot of sunshine around this is when it will be particularly

warm but in the north we do have front introducing rain. Away from

that it will still be pleasant, looking at 20 and Aberdeen, 21 in

Newcastle, but the highest temperature over East Anglia and the

south-east. Thank you very much, Carol. Look at

that. How Wong will it be? First the business leader since the election

result reveals concern that the political uncertainty could have a

negative impact on the economy. Stephanie is in the city of London

for a sore morning to gauge reaction there. Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning, everyone. Business as usual here this morning with lots of

people heading into work. You can see behind me here is the Bank of

England is at the famous landmark from around London. You have the

gherkin building popping its head up there. All the buildings, all the

crazy names here. Of course there will be many people heading to work

today wondering what on earth does all the political uncertainty now

mean for our economy and what can business do to try make sure they

can carry on doing what they do best? We have a couple of guests

with us to chat to this morning. Catherine from the city of London

Corporation and Carolyn from the CBI to represent business. What's your

reaction to all of this? It has been such a crazy few days. We have

expected it and like you said, it creates great uncertainty for this

sector. It is destabilising and something we need to try to on to

was quickly as we can. Move -- move on from. We need to look at how to

cope with Brexit. That is an existential question what we need to

be doing is moving towards a deal as soon as we possibly can, and deal

which listens to the needs of the sector because it is a sector that

affects the real economy and which gives us what the country needs to

thrive for the future, clearly, talking to the sector they need to

weigh access to market which benefits Europe as well as it

benefits up. Access to the best people for the best jobs and

attendances or periods we can through this smoothly. Now we hope

that having seen the country divided over the past we were taken that

Parliament will take the opportunity to look carefully at what the sector

needs because, as I say, it affects so many people. We have talked lots

over the last year about all of the different things from Brexit and

everything else going on. Your organisation represents thousands of

businesses. What is your worry about this? Good morning. Uncertainty has

gone right up the Richter scale. That does matter. It matters for all

of us. It makes companies hit the pause button on investment and

investment today's jobs in the future. It really matters. What we

think the opportunity now is is to change the mindset. Or the economy

right back at the top of the agenda, talk about all the things that

matter to jobs and growth. Bring business in as participants, not

just as observers in the whole thing. Do you feel like business

were spoken to enough in the run-up to the election by politicians?

There were some good engagement, for example, the business Secretary had

a lot of good discussion. The opportunity now is to take it to a

different level, you know? We are all in this together and I think

business has a lot to contribute. Frankly it will be a business

success that creates the living standard of the future. An Brexit

let's get the focus right up there on single market access. After

trade. So many jobs are linked to that. A cat home it is about action

on homes on digital on road and rail, the things that matter to all

of us and make it easier to do business. It is an opportunity, I

think, to have a mindset change and to get things going. Businesses used

to dealing with uncertainty so they are often good at dealing with these

circumstances. We are a great force for good in all of this. Bring

stability and investment. They are optimistic about all of this but

they do need some support from government around the

infrastructure, around the right deal on Brexit and if you can get

some kind of movement on those things, I think business can be a

great partner in all of this and do some very good things. Great to hear

that optimism. We will speak to you later on. Thank you for your time

this morning. I will be here through the

Now, though, it's back to Louise and Dan.

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

Theresa May prepares to face criticism of her election campaign

and leadership style in a meeting with her own backbenchers.

Her majority crumbles, her authority tumbles.

Today the Prime Minister has to explain to her MPs why

This is our own Downing Street set, just outside our studio,

where we'll be talking to voters and experts about the future

for Britain, as the Prime Minister insists she'll serve a full

Good morning, it's Monday the 12th of June.

Steph is in the City of London finding out what businesses think

New research suggests that confidence has fallen

because of the political uncertainty following the election and concerns

I will be talking about it with business leaders.

Just weeks after he was elected President of France,

Emmanuel Macron is on course to secure another stunning victory,

this time in the country's parliamentary elections.

They take a point in Serbia but yet another draw in World Cup qualifying

only just keeps alive their slim hopes of qualifying for next year's

Cheese that grows on plants and fish fingers made from chicken,

we'll find out where some children think their food comes from.

It is a cloudy and breezy day. Many of the showers will fade in some of

us will see some sunshine. Especially this afternoon. I will

have more details in 15 minutes. Theresa May will today meet

backbench Conservative MPs and set out her case for staying

on in Downing Street. The Prime Minister will

also chair a meeting Michael Gove - one of the driving

forces behind Brexit - Mrs May is also still

trying to secure a deal with the Democratic Unionists

to ensure they'll back Our political correspondent

Tom Bateman reports. Back at the heart of government,

Michael Gove's last regular appearances on this street

were before to May became PM. She sacked her old opponent

after the bruising EU He will now sit

alongside Boris Johnson. The two men spectacularly

fell out over the Tory The Foreign Secretary has denied

having his eye on the top job again, calling for MPs to

rally around Mrs May. Jeremy Corbyn did not

win this election. It's absolutely right

that she should go ahead, form a government and deliver

on the priorities of the people. I'm going to be

backing her, absolutely everybody I'm talking to is going

to be backing her as well. Mrs May's reshuffle sees

the pro-European Damian Green, an old friend of the Prime Minister,

become first Secretary of State. The former justice secretary

Liz Truss has been demoted, taking a lower ranking

job in the Treasury. While other key figures

stay where they are, including Jeremy Hunt at health

and Liam Fox at international trade. Mrs May will hope the reshuffle,

most notable for its lack of changes, will help her

reach out to Tory MPs. She said last night she intends

to stay in her job. I said during the election

campaign that if re-elected, But what I'm doing now

is actually getting And I think that's what's

important, I think that's They want to see government

providing that certainty But life without a majority

in the House of Commons The PM may have to wave goodbye

to some of her policy plans. Today, she will meet

with her own backbenchers, many of whom will be

looking for reassurances. She now faces the challenge

of starting Brexit talks with her authority weakened

and her long-term future In a moment we'll speak

to our Ireland correspondent Chris Page in Belfast,

but first Chris Mason is in Downing Chris , it's been a tough few days

for the Prime Minister, and potentially more

trouble ahead today? The big plan for today would be the

day that Theresa May would invite a whole flock of people that would

cement her as the dominating ahead of the Brexit negotiations. Instead,

she has been humbled and her majority shrivelled nothing. She is

much, much weaker figure as a result of minority government. I am

speaking to a conservative MP and it says there has to be a humble

approach from the Prime Minister. She has to recognise how she has

gone wrong. Gavin Barwell was a minister, then he lost his seat now

he is the Prime Minister's new chief of staff. This is the manifesto I

spent the campaign waving around but it will be shredded in the

negotiations to come with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist party.

Chris, there was confusion at the weekend about whether there

is actually a deal in place with the DUP.

I think there is little doubt that they will be at deal, it just

depends on what shape it will take. The DUP will be pushing for more

money, more investment for Northern Ireland and want a stronger voice

with regards to Breakfast -- Brexit. They want a say in what happens to

the whole of the UK for example the pensions policy. Fuel allowance for

older people being protected. The Westminster government is looking

like it is on the cards. What is less certain talks to get devolution

backed up and running again. The five main party leaders will be

meeting with the British and Ireland Irish governments. While the talking

will be starting in Belfast this morning, the mines in many people

here will be on what is going on in London.

Later we'll be speaking to the Brexit Secretary David Davis.

Detectives investigating the London Bridge attack have made

Many children are confused about where their food comes

In a survey of more than 5,000 children between the ages

of five and 16 some thought cheese comes from plants,

tomatoes grow underground and nearly a fifth of the very youngest thought

The poll for Healthy Eating Week threw up some surprising results.

Around a quarter of all children thought strawberry jam could be

included as one of their five-a-day portions of fruit and veg.

Around 11% of teenagers said that fruit pastilles would count.

There was quite a bit of confusion about where food came from.

Something reflected in the responses of these youngsters.

Do you know what fish fingers are made of?

Just under a quarter of a 5-7 year old in the survey thought that

prawns were plants and a fifth believed that chips

The managing director of the British nutrition foundation said that

schools and families could and should work together

to educate children about making healthier choices.

You up-to-date with the latest news. You are watching breakfast.

We've been at Westminster so much over the past few days,

we thought we'd bring Downing Street to us.

And Dan is there finding out what inspired so many young people

to head to the ballot box in this election

Welcome to our not so real Downing Street. This is our fabrication.

We've post, street names, Larry the cat and all of that stuff. It is a

really important week this weekend, a Cabinet meeting. Talks about the

DUP this afternoon. What we're looking at is of the key issues on

how we cast our vote in the general election. We have already spoken

about austerity. One of the other massive factors was the youth vote.

I'm sure you saw claims from the Labour Party, 75% of those young

people voted. We will get confirmation later this week but it

is that -- if it is anywhere near that number, it is up around 30% of

last time. We have some young voters here. These people all qualify for

young voters under the age of 25. What was it for all of you that in

due to vote the way you did last week? As a young person growing up

under successive Tory governments, I have seen first hand the way that

they ripped apart the social fabric of our communities, I have seen it

the way they made people divide amongst one another, I've seen that

the way that community is no longer have the centres for young people,

nurses have been driven to food banks. Successive Tory governments

have stopped investing in young people for the future. For us,

personally, we have had enough of being demoralised. Corbyn came along

and said it doesn't need to be like this, there is an alternative, we as

a society do not need to have the Tories ideal community. We can care

for each other, we can be an outward looking country and stop being

intolerant towards others. We don't need to look at having such diverse

committees as a bad thing. I feel like also the way that Jeremy Corbyn

has been betrayed in the media and even betrayed his own labour MPs was

absolutely disgusting. I feel at that encouraged me more to get

involved and look at him as a person. He stood on the right side

of history on every single issue in my opinion and I prefer that over

Theresa May who didn't even believe in things they write a couple of

years back, so. I suppose the cynical point of view is to say that

Jeremy Corbyn offered your generation free stuff and it worked.

Yaman. And actually, it did work. I believe, well, I think there were

two sorts of voters that I could see. Those people who wanted to vote

Tory didn't like Theresa May and those people who actually did

genuinely like Jeremy Corbyn. I think what's happened is a total

rejection of Theresa May's ideals. From young people. Even when you

look at the amount of us that turned up to vote for the referendum who

voted for remain as well. I feel that this election, I feel she has

lost her mandate to go for hard Brexit. She had no choice but to

compromise and to listen to us, the young voters.

The Tories still won is over 300 seat she has not really been wiped

out that they still have more seats than Labour. She entered because she

thought she would have a landslide and a mandate for Brexit and she has

lost. In terms of the landscape of society, there has been a shift and,

you know, I am sure there are many young people out there today and who

have voted and people who have not voted for much of their lives and

have voted to go and vote and say to those people, don't lose hope. We

made one step in the right direction. The fact we have been

able to take some secure, you know, Conservative seat from

constituencies and put them in the hands of Labour, for example, the

Ukip voters. They were discussing on the BBC that they have been more or

less equally disbursed between the other parties, all the seats that

you could have lost. Now for voters to change their psychological

preferences... The ideas of Ukip on the right, past new Labour, plus the

labour of Tony Leonard to social Democrat Jeremy Corbyn, that is a

massive ship a makeshift. -- shift. You are from bite the ballot trying

to get people engaged in politics. We have three young people clearly

engaged over here. Were you surprised by the numbers that came

out last week? No. If you look at the figures became after the

referendum method of young people turned up. That was a result of it

being a single issue, an issue of their future. This general election

was also was about young people realising that this is about

participation. If you get involved you can make change. Brexit showed

that if you participated you could make a change. Victoria River from

the University of leads. Do you think that given the success the

Labour Party had with young voters will see the Conservatives try to

tap into that under the parties as well? I think they probably will

otherwise Villa may be difficult for them to do so. Conservative relies

on what is called the great foe. What we saw was a feeling that,

actually, they relied on it so much that they did not need to play to it

any more. We saw the removal of the triple lock, and replacing with a

double lock. We saw issues relating to what has been dubbed the dementia

tax. These things are deeply worrying for that sector. Because

the Conservatives may go back and refocus on that sector because it is

more conservative -- traditional territory for them. Influences on

the way that people that voted. You are one of the people hit on

Westminster Bridge. This security an issue for you? It has always been an

issue for me and I'd don't think the attack changed anything along those

lines. You can play politics, personally I think... I don't think

the sort of events should be politicised as many people have

done. But, yeah, with regards to security being an issue, I don't

think... While it is an issue in every election I don't think it

played any further issue in this election. Preliminary polls were

already coming out and it shows that in this pushback against terror, the

pushback against the effect of terror, people have not really

allowed that to influence their vote. If that makes sense. Thank you

very much. I am glad to see you are doing well. Great to have you back

here on the sofa. Thank you to all of you. The weather outside here

this morning as little dismal, Carol. Can you tell us what it will

be like? What we're looking at this week is a

little bit of rain on the forecast at times. We have that this morning.

Breezy at times as well and it will be quite warm, particularly so on

Wednesday. Today, low pressure drives the weather and that

introduces showers and you can tell by the squeeze on those isobars that

it will be breezy, particularly windy across central and southern

Scotland and north-east England. Especially Northumberland. That will

spread east through the day along with the showers. Cloud will turn

over and sunny spells will develop. In the sunshine it will feel

pleasant. Yesterday we hit 24 Celsius in East Anglia, was the

highest temperature in the land, today is more likely to be 20 or 21

somewhere in the south-east. Through this evening and overnight, dry

weather and clear skies forming. There will also be patchy mist and

fog across southern and south-western part of both England

and Wales and we have rain spilling across Northern Ireland, was in

Scotland, north-west England and also north-west Wales. Another cold

night, and a cold start to the day. Those weather fronts coming in from

the Atlantic. High-pressure drives this weather to the south so things

will settle down across southern England and also south Wales. Here

is the temperature rising through the day to about 23 or four. Patchy

rain moving from the west to the east across northern England and

tending to fade and moving out across Northern Ireland and Scotland

will become more Chari and nature through the rest of the day. The

temperature will reach about 18 in the north, 23 24 in the south but

then, as I mentioned, it will reach 2728 on Wednesday. Look at that.

Thank you very much, Carol. You might be about to battle

through the Monday morning traffic but it's unlikely your journey

will be as epic as this one. At nine o'clock, a 67-year-old coach

with a top speed of 40 miles per hour is setting off from Norwich

to its original home in the Shetland That's a journey of 1200 miles,

but it's a labour of love Fiona Lamdin is in

Norwich to tell us more. Good morning. Yes, as you say, 67

years old. You can see that destination, 1200 miles. She will be

setting off in a few hours. In the 50s, 60s, 70s, she really was the

lifeline to the islanders. She would take children to school, fishermen

to both start looking for it. How often you see a code with a sunroof

like this? If you are still warm, the driver even has his own personal

air-conditioning stop the seats are still the same, they are original.

Yesterday I was lucky enough to take a journey through the Norfolk

countryside. This 1950 Bedford OBE is finally on

her way home. And behind the wheel, that -year-old John Ward. It was a

pleasure driving a bus like this. For years, this pair were a lifeline

to hundreds of islanders living on the Shetlands. Delivering children

to school, fishermen to their boats, even bringing people home in time

for dinner. And one of those children was Nicki Ridgeley. This is

the first time on the bus for 50 years. Same seat covers and

everything. Do you remember we used to set? Sometimes I was nervous. I

was starting secondary school it was a big step to go on the bus with all

of the other big bull children, you know? Back when I was four wheeze to

use it for a Sunday school picnic. Going to the beach to the day. It

was a big adventure to go for a day out. In 1979 after many miles and

many years of service, she was brought south, ending up in Norfolk

for her retirement where the owner has spent the last six years

restoring her. But Nick is gifting his bus back to the island from

which it came. You look after her. Here are the keys. Look after her,

please. And so for the next 12 days the team will travel 1200 miles at

40 miles an hour, to get her home. Will love it up there. They remember

it. It is a part of their history. It is not part of mind, it is theirs

and that is where it should be. How do you feel that it is coming home?

Very happy. Extremely happy. I am with the original owner, the

current owner and the next few minutes to be the new owner again.

Coming over to Nick. Why are you giving her away? John contacted me

from the Shetland Islands and I knew the coach came from the Shetland

Islands. Many came go to seed clearly was very emotional. I was so

touched by that moment I thought you know, it has to go back. It was a

trigger moment. Can you believe you are getting her back? It is

wonderful. All credit to Nick for doing this. Will she make it? It is

a long journey. I hope so. The Bishop will bless us so that may

help. She is only 28 horsepower which is a quarter of the size of

the mini so, you know, she will struggle but I am sure she will get

there. As you heard that, the Bishop will bless. He will do that in the

next hour or so. It is interesting to know that she does not have

breakdowns are they are very confident she will make it. I hope

people waved to the coach on the wave is that it is so beautiful. It

looks rather impressive, doesn't it? 25 minutes past seven. I have made

it all the way back now from Downing Street. Quite a long journey. I

thought you did it in a tardis. The financial markets and businesses are

still assessing the impact of election results. Stephanie is out

about as this morning. She is in the of London. Good morning. Good

morning everyone. We are outside the Bank of England here. A lovely place

to watch the world go by, everyone start their working day. Many people

wondering what on earth the political uncertainty is going to

mean. Many businesses trying to work out what impact it may have. We have

a regular on the show with us. There's many ways of looking at

this, aren't there, in the currency market, server is happening, what

are your thoughts? Three things to look out. Visible, the currency. But

moved quite the last week. It recovered addicted to other key

things, confidence and competence. Business confidence. Today,

information showing that business confidence is tweaking consumer

confidence, we know we began to weaken and that is the largest part

of our economy. Two thirds of it is down to you and me, don't yeah

spending. In terms of confidence, why is it falling? What is the

worry? A couple of things. Business wants to know what is happening with

Brexit. What is the next stage? Will the government get a majority in

fattening policies through? Consumers are in debt. How much

further can they take that? How much more can expand with a those are the

big questions. And many have issues in regard to house prices with signs

that may be weakening and, remember, that is a primary assets of people

and if it does we can, so are you. We were talking to a letter in the

programme as well as other business leaders about what they are hoping

to hear from politicians given all of the election fallout.

Good morning and welcome back. This is breakfast with Dan Walker and

Mrs May is also continuing efforts to secure a deal

with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionists.

She's hoping a deal with Arlene Foster's party

will secure support for the Tories on big votes

But earlier, a former DUP assembly member told us any potential

agreement would rest on assurances from the Prime Minister over

One of the big issues for the party will be a round Brexit because there

is a border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. We want to

ensure that whatever the final shape of the outcome, it doesn't impede on

movement across the border and at the same time ensure that nothing it

would be done to restrict free movement from Northern Ireland into

the rest of the United Kingdom and across the United Kingdom.

Nicola Sturgeon will call for a cross-party "four nation"

approach to the Brexit negotiations as she joins Scottish National Party

A lot of people are desiring the Union Jack Lounge. Sally is here

with us as well looking at a busy week. We have a World Cup win,

triathlon at first. We will start with Wales and their hopes to get to

Russia 2018. Still quite a lot of work to do for them. They need to

win all four of their World Cup qualifiers if they are to be sure of

rushing the finals in Russia. Wales manager Chris Coleman thinks

they need to win all four of their remaining World Cup

qualifiers if they're to make sure A penalty from Aaron Ramsey gave

them the lead against Serbia in But the home side equalised,

leaving Wales four points behind the group leaders,

with four games left. We were looking to win it

in the last ten minutes. Once they equalised,

we had two or three break aways there where it could have been

different but overall, The Republic of Ireland

are second in that group, level on points with Serbia -

and they're still unbeaten after a 1-all draw with Austria

in Dublin, thanks to Jon Walters' For the first time since 1966,

an England national football team The U20's beat Venezuela 1-0

in the final in South Korea. Everton's Dominic

Calvert-Lewin with the goal. They needed keeper Freddie Woodman

to save a penalty in And the national side's senior

manager believes this could be Obviously, ultimately,

the aim is that those players come through to the seniors

and a big part of that now is for them to get

opportunities with their clubs because I think they have shown,

if the under 20s were world champions, there is enough players

there to fulfil careers in the game Hopefully we will see more of them

playing in the Premier League, too. Rafael Nadal said he thought he'd be

fishing on his boat by now, not winning a Grand Slam

for a record 10th time. He cruised past Stan

Wawrinka in straight sets in the French Open final,

to take his 15th major title - and he thinks one of his best,

considering he's now I am 31 already so...I'm

not a kid anymore. But, yeah, because of

been under problems, physical problems, for a couple

of times in the last period India crushed South Africa

for victory at the Oval - and they made it with

12 overs to spare. The last of the semi-final spots

will be decided today, A great day yesterday at the

triathlon in Leeds. The Brownlees Brothers. You were there. I'm still

a little bit excited. I didn't have much sleep last night because I was

dreaming about the triathlon which is a bit sad but it was fantastic.

The atmosphere was amazing. Johnny and Alistair were... And then,

Johnny came out first in this wind and Alastair caught up later --

caught up. Completely dominated on the bike.

Alastair Brownlee beat his brother Jonny to victory

in the World Triathlon Series in their home town.

It was their first race together since Alistair carried Jonny over

the line in last year's finale in Mexico.

Johnny came out those in the swimming and Alastair

caught him out and on the back leg, they were over

Where was everybody else behind them?

She helped her sister who wasn't well. Her run-up was like that.

That's why she hadn't been feeling well in the run-up to the race. But

she still decided to go ahead. They are all beasts. Alistair Brownlee

and Jonny Brownlee. Incredible. It is a fantastic sport to watch.

Fantastic for them to win in their home city. Is there a new generation

of triathletes coming through? I met them. They were all out there. There

was so much going on over the weekend. There really is a strong

team. It's fantastic. I know I'm biased.

England's women were beaten by the Netherlands in their hockey

The Dutch are the world's number one team and they went 2-0

ahead before Sophie Bray brought England level.

It went to penalties - and there was some revenge

for the Netherland's, who lost in a shoot out to TeamGB

in last year's Olympic final in Rio.

Lewis Hamilton's Formula 1 title challenge is back on track

He lead from start to finish in Montreal to take the chequered

championship lead to 12 points after he could only finish fourth.

I had my first win here ten years ago so to repeat it this weekend

is incredibly special and I really have to thank my team

The guys back at the factory have worked so hard to really fix

what we had in the last race to bring it here.

It is great to see new young broadcasters coming through. Yes,

that is Sir Patrick Stewart. The world famous Hollywood actor. Great,

isn't it? They always put a bit of Stardust at the Grand Prix. A lot of

famous people do the closing interview. Sir Patrick Stewart was

obviously enjoying every moment. Lucky him.

The first poll of business leaders since the election result had

revealed a uncertainty having a negative impact on the economy as

well is delaying the crucial Brexit negotiations. It is looking busy in

the city at the moment, isn't it? Business as usual here. You can just

see. I am in front of the Bank of England and the famous London

landmarks in the heart of the city of London, the financial district,

where lots of people are trying to work out and will be for the

foreseeable, what does all this political uncertainty mean for them?

What that mean for businesses the economy and as you said, there have

been talking to 700 businesses across the country to ask them how

they feel about it and a lot of them are saying the majority, about 65%,

that they think it will have a negative effect on the economy. Lots

of different things to think about when you are assessing what impact

this could have. One of them being the currency markets and that

reacted across today when the result came out on Friday. We saw it go

from 150 data 130. A huge drop. Comparisons are relatively small and

it has recovered again. The two elements you talked about when

talking about business confidence, important. Money needs to be

invested in the economy. If you are going to hold it back, it will be

more difficult. Garner I will bring in Carolyn Fairburn from the CBI.

--I will bring in Carolyn Fairburn. How do they feel about it now? Are

they worried? Leigh uncertainty has gone up the Richter scale since last

week. It really matters because it affects investment which is jobs for

the future. They are looking for the economy to go right back

centrestage. And for business activity participants, not just

spectators in what we are seeing. When talk about uncertainty, there

is always uncertainty. We have talked about this for over a year

since Brexit. What can businesses do with this? There is a sense they

have to get on with it. Businesses that do and they are really good at

it. This is one of the reasons we have seen real resilience and

investment has been continuing. When uncertainty reaches of such a level.

You get pause beginning to be pressed. You just don't want to see

that. It is time for a bit of a reset, a reset, a bit of a mindset

change, to listen really well to what businesses need because it

matters to all of us. It is what pays for the health service, it is

what pays for salaries. It is a chance to put some of these

questions about digital infrastructure, how we will build

homes, how we will get better rail services and Brexit negotiations on

track, right at the centre of the conversations we are having

everyday. If you are the Prime Minister, what would you be doing

for business? I will be going out there talking about how important

the economy is in terms of quality of life, London and the regions

everywhere, getting the Brexit negotiations onto a really positive

track so we can see positive outcome on really good access to the single

market and then it is all about action, action on the things that

really matter like skills, housing, Digital, getting on with it. That is

what will give us more confident with, as I say, business as

participants, right in there, helping to set the problems with

government, not just observe on the sidelines. Is not just about how

businesses feel that the impact on things like the currency market.

Justin was talking about things like a fall in the value of the pound.

Just the impact of that because it is to be bad for businesses, isn't

it? It depends on what kind of distant -- business you are. If you

are an exporter, order books are looking great. Manufacturing is on

the march is that is great but if you are an importer, that is tough.

You see inflation starting to come through. That is another level of

uncertainty where government has a role to play. Bringing stability and

predictability where possible. We are still an economy that is largely

driven by consumer spending is it is about how we feel as people out

there spending as well, isn't it? There is our lot in that and we have

seen consumers doing what they do best, they have carried on shopping

and that is fantastic but we need to keep confidence going. The more that

can be done to create a business environment that is encouraging our

companies, encouraging consumers to feel confident and these are all the

things that I think will make a real difference in this next stage.

will be back in one-hour. It is so mad and busy here. Not even eight

o'clock yet. It is exactly quarter to eight. I am your own personal

time check. It's OK. We have had very little sleep, it is OK. Do not

be terrified, it is quarter to eight. A reminder now of the top

stories for you this morning. Theresa May will meet Conservative

MPs and set out her case was staying on in Downing Street. The Prime

Minister says a cabinet reshuffle has brought in talent from across

the party. The new lineup includes Michael Gove is environment

Secretary. I tell you what time it is, time for the weather with Carol.

Good morning um Carol. Look at that. Look at those pollen levels. Good

morning. We do have high levels of pollen this morning. As we go

through most of this week they will be high or very high across much of

the UK. As temperatures rise, especially in the middle of the

week, the UV levels will be as high as they get in the UK across

southern areas. This is the forecast for this week. Green and breeze at

times and warmest conditions will be midweek. Low pressure dominates the

weather at the moment. Weather fronts attached to it introducing

some showers but if you look at the squeeze on those isobars on the

chart you can tell it is going to be a breezy day, particularly windy

this morning across central and southern Scotland and north-east

England. A lot of cloud, quite a few showers, particularly in the north

and west. Many of those will fade as we go through the course of the

afternoon. The cloud cover we have will turn over and we will see some

sunshine. At about afternoon across south-west England and Wales but

generally across southern counties, there still will be glad around but

it will be mostly dry and, at times, the sun will come out. Across

England could see a couple showers pop over the Pennines but for

north-east England, the wind eases and we will see sunshine. Sony or

bright spells across Northern Ireland, the wind is in Scotland

and, again, the north and west get the showers. The rest of Scotland,

particularly in the east, there will be sunshine. Through the evening and

overnight, we will start the season clear skies develop and there will

be a lot of dry weather, some patchiness to and fog across

southern counties and in the next set of weather fronts, we,

introducing cloud and rain, initially across Northern Ireland

and across north-west England Scotland and Wales. That is down to

the said fronts. The space on the ice buzz tomorrow a much wider so

will not be as windy. I pressured dominates the weather in the south

so here you will be fairly settled. The temperature will continue to

rise and we will see highs from about 23, 20 four Celsius. The rain

coming in across Northern Ireland, Scotland north-west England in

north-west Wales will turn showery, one of two showers getting ever to

the east of England but they will be the rather than the rule. In between

there will be so bright skies. Utter richer range about 18 in Aberdeen,

19 in Cardiff but 23 as we are pushing towards the London area. On

Wednesday, the warmest day of the week, particular in the south when

temperatures will hit 2728. UV levels will be high in southern

England especially along the south Coast. Highest level will be hate

and that is what we will have. -- highest level will be eight.

Temperatures very pleasant and we have a weather front or two is

getting across Northern Ireland in north-western Scotland and that will

introduce some splashes of rain. Thank you very much, Carol. 26 in

London as well. We have an amazing story coming up right now. After

being diagnosed with our counsellor in 2015, Ian was told he had two

months to live. Two years at best. He was determined not to be

defeated. Last month he made a dream a reality when he reached the summit

of Mount Everest. It is thought is the first cancer patient actually do

so. Proves anything possible in hopes of this story will inspire

others to achieve their life goals. And, you probably guessed it, we are

delighted to say he is with us on the sofa. Lovely to see you. I'm

sure these pictures which you are familiar to you. Many years of

watching and looking and now you can say you have been to the summit.

Yeah. It is not a thing I would have thought of maybe a few months ago.

Wonder the side, Tibet, slightly different but it has been an amazing

story from start to finish. When you set out to do this money mental

task, it is something for anybody to do, how what particular difficulties

did you have as a cancer patient? On a personal level, not really discuss

this, but there were energy levels. I am always ready for a nap and you

do not get to sleep on Everest. And then there is the diet stopped I had

a specific diet before I went and I knew I would have to change that and

eat whatever I could get on Everest, sugar, all the food you are not

meant to be eating if you want to be healthy. We can see some of the

conditions you went through there. We saw your tent flapping around in

the wind there. What were the conditions like and how demanding

was to get to the top? It was an unusual year for weather and the

wind was very strong. That was when my tent was destroyed and a lost my

agreement on food. I got a few things out and then we had to

evacuate the camp won an expedition was over. And then overnight that

was mean a couple of guys who really to go back up. I begged and borrowed

bits of equipment and food and a sleeping bag and got back up the

next day. So you wake up in the early hours on the day, as it were,

in the early hours of the morning and then what happens? When the tent

was destroyed? No, when you are climbing to the summit. You get

there late in the afternoon. You are meant to have a few hours and then

you set off at about one o'clock in the morning. You do not get a lot of

sleep, I had no sleep. It was surreal for me. I was focused on it.

I cannot actually remember that much about it. People speak about flow

state or being in the zone and that was what it was like for me. I had a

problem with my feet for the first few hours were thought might lose a

toe but then came back to life and I was happy at that point then I was

now reached the summit because it is thought, yes! I am fine again! Five

hours left and then having to turn back, that would have been horrible.

At what point did you think Everest was a good idea? Something you could

actually do? How far back you to go before you thought you know what, I

am suffering from cancer, so what I will do is climb the tallest

mountain on earth. It sounds stupid when you put it like that. I

think... I was diagnosed, I got rid of the cancer and many have scans

and I think was nervous about the scan. I had won the next day and

this was, maybe, August of last year. It was the day before, I was

walking back from the shop and full summaries reason I thought that if I

am got diagnosed I will have to try. There are so many things in it. It

was ludicrous. After a few weeks you get a solution to that problem and

want to this problem so wasn't until this February that it became a

serious thing. We did not have long to get going, which is probably a

good thing in a way. We had a 10% plan and it worked out. Are you a

climber? Yeah. ... No, I just went up there and had a go at it! I have

done climbing before and have climbed in the Himalayas before. I

know you had a tough time because the weather was not great when you

the summit either, were you, and you were snow blinded? We ran out of

windows to get up there. It was the last window of the season, a half

window. We got up there and it was stormy with a lot of snow me and

three other guys we were caught in that. It took us ten hours to get

down, we were drained and exhausted, dehydrated and then we got snow

blind so I had to come down from camps rewind. You won't see this

programme, I don't think, but the man who helped me, he is a good buy.

As a proud Sheffield Wednesday fan, we have pictures he reviewed placing

a Sheffield United flag. Yes. This has been Photoshopped! Tellers that

truth... -- tell us the truth. We started fundraising at the weekend

and I got 60 by my friend. He asked the site and I said if you put a

thousand pound in I will take a Sheffield United flag to the top.

Then I got a screenshot, he had put the money Miedecke count. They

supported this project so much, Sheffield United. Thank you very

much. Was lovely to talk to you. We are still raising money. Claiming

Everest for cancer. -- climbing Everest for cancer. Another like to

wish one of the guys on expedition to get well soon. Just coming up to

eight o'clock. Minster is coming your way is in a moment that first

we are in Norwich this morning at the start of what we can describe as

an emotional journey. Good morning. This 67-year-old Bedford O B is off

on her way home. She is returning to the Shetland Islands where she has

been a lifeline to the communities in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Many

people that they did not have cars and this coach used to take children

to school, get people to the shops, it took everyone everywhere. Let me

show you around. There is a sunroof and a buzz up here. If you sit in

the driver 's seat, of course we have air-conditioning. Even the

original seats. In the next hour, as we said, she is off. The Bishop of
