Welcome to bbc news. For the second time in a week, theresa may has been forced into a mini reshuffle of her cabinet. Penny mourdaunt has been appointed as the new International Development secretary replacing priti patel. She resigned last night, admitting she had not been transparent enough about high level meetings with israeli politicians while on holiday. Like her predecessor, penny mourdaunt backed the leave campaign in the eu referendum. Its my first day here and im delighted to be here. Ive already met some of the staff and theyre doing a terrificjob building a more safe, more secure and more prosperous world for us all, and i want to continue doing that, but also to give the British Public confidence and pride in what were doing. You might recognise her from a rather unlikely she raniolparliamenl 25 sagad segnsixzzrl 57. Le. The woman she replaced. In terms of brexit, whilst i hope everyone is united behind the prime ministers approach, nevertheless its also helpful to have another person who was an enthusiastic campaigner for brexit during the referendum. Whitehall, a move that theresa may hopes will keep the political peace, at least for now. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. As you heard all of this comes as the latest stage of the brexit negotiations are about to get under way. Our europe editor katya adler has more from brussels. Here in brussels all of those events unfolding at westminster are being watched with incredulity. Every twist and turn considered relevant to brexit. The big eu worry is that a weak government cant make it and bold moves at the moment david davis walks into these doors, here at the European Commission tomorrow for the sixth round of negotiations, he will be told in no Uncertain Terms that he needs to make a big, old and quick move on money. Of course there are other divorce issues that still need to be ironed out, not least the irish border, at at the moment it is money that is the big brexit stumbling block. Theresa may has had to be eu that the eu will on a financial commitments made while an eu member, but thats not enough for the eu right now. They want written promises. They want specific promises. They want specific promises. And theyve told me they wa nted promises. And theyve told me they wanted within the next two weeks or they are threatening to hold back on they are threatening to hold back on the talks the uk wants and thats about a future trade deal and a transition deal. Of course the government is not going to want to be seen to give into eu bullying, what we are hearing rumours denied that it made the preparing a concession on the money issue and the logic there would be that in the end of future trade deal with the eu and a smoother transition deal would be worth a lot more than a so called exit ill. Bill. The first minister of wales, carwynjones, has defended his handling of allegations made against a colleague whos believed to have taken his own life earlier this week. Carl sargeant was removed from his welsh cabinetjob and suspended by the labour party but his family say he was never given details of the allegations against him and was unable to defend himself.

There is a Legal Process to go through. Im obviously acting within that, but i welcome the scrutiny of my actions in the future, and its appropriate for that to be done independently.

The mp charlie elphicke, who was suspended from the Parliamentary Conservative Party last week following allegations of improper conduct, has said the process being followed by the party is fundamentally wrong. Mr elphicke, whos denied any wrongdoing, said he had not been told about the allegations in detail and said he first heard the news from the media. The conservative party said the case had been referred to the police. Thousands of children and teenagers have been flagged up to the governments anti Terror Programme in the past year according to the First Official figures. The prevent programme aims to reduce the threat to the uk by stopping people being drawn into terrorism. In total, more than 7,000 were referred and a quarter of them were under the age of 15. Sima kotecha reports. Five terror attacks in britain just this year alone, preventing any further attacks is a top priority for the government. Thats why it has something called channel, a programme designed to stop people from being drawn into violent or extremist behaviour. Salman, not his real name, was radicalised in prison. By the time he was released, just months ago, he was ready to go to syria to become a suicide bomber. His words have been voiced by an actor to protect his identity. I was told that i would get all my sins washed away. The only way to do it is to become a martyr and everything will be forgiven. And you will go to heaven. To me, it was the easy way out. Just to kill myself and blow somebody up. If you believe in something, you will do anything. Hes now changed his views, but hes the kind of person the government wants to help. Todays figures show that over the last year, out of the nearly 8,000 people referred to the governments counterterrorism strategy, more than 300 went on to receive specialist support, including therapy and mentoring. Four out of five were judged to have had their vulnerability to terrorism reduced, but one in six withdrew from the voluntary process, despite concerns about their ideology. A lot of youngsters are being radicalised as well. Due to their vulnerability to drugs. Thousands of children have been referred to the programme, and thats likely to be down to more pressure on teachers and doctors to identify vulnerable individuals. A charity partly funded by the home office reaches out to men outside mosques. Were hoping to attract people to come here and talk to us about vulnerabilities they might have. And that might be radicalisation, it might be homelessness, it might be in terms of drug dependency. And thats something that were trying to reach out to them, so they can get help. Channel hasnt been without its critics. There are some who argue that it targets particular communities and creates suspicion around them. There are also questions about how effective it really is, and how those who are put through the programme are later monitored. Participations also voluntary, raising serious concerns about what happens to those who refuse help. One of the big challenges is for people who already have really violent extreme views, but who might not be committing crime, how do we engage them . Its highly unlikely that someone in that state of mind is going to willingly engage with government programmes, it is stopping hundreds of people from actually resorting to violence, and has diverted them away, and it is showing that the wider community, teachers and professionals, are engaging in the policy and we are managing to help keep the country safe. The uks threat level remains severe, which means the effectiveness of the governments strategy is crucial. Sima kotecha, bbc news.
