The chancellor of the exchequer, Philip Hammond, says hell resign this week if borisjohnson becomes the new conservative leader and Prime Minister. As expected. Mr hammond says he doesnt agree with mrjohnson over brexit and he thinks its unlikely britain will get a deal agreed with the eu by the current leaving date of october 31st. Heres our Political Correspondent nick eardley. If there is one thing these two can agree on, it is that delivering brexit has not been an easy ride. We have the green light. Brexit has not been an easy ride. We have the green lightli brexit has not been an easy ride. We have the green light. I have not got a green light. 0h, have the green light. I have not got a green light. Oh, the story of my life. Boris johnson is likely to become the Prime Minister on wednesday, but the chancellor cannot sign up to his brexit strategy, so live on the television this morning he announced that he intends to quit. As in that Boris Johnson becomes the next penance, i understand that his conditions would include accepting an no deal exit on the 31st of october and that is not something i can never sign up to. It is very important that a Prime Minister can have a chance for his very closely aligned with him in terms of policy and i, therefore intended to resign to theresa may before she goes to the palace to tender her own resignation on wednesday. We do not know for sure that Boris Johnson wednesday. We do not know for sure that borisjohnson will beatjeremy hunt, well find out on tuesday. But it is not just hunt, well find out on tuesday. But it is notjust a chance by getting ready for Prime Ministerjohnson. Others are ready to quit it too. Just like theresa may, the next Prime Minister will have a divided party in parliament. They will also face a familiar issue here, the border between the republic and Northern Ireland. Both men say they wa nt to ta ke Northern Ireland. Both men say they want to take out the controversial backstop, but the Irish Government is not having it. If the approach of the new british Prime Minister is that they are going to tear up the Withdrawal Agreement, then i think were in trouble. Were all in trouble, quite frankly, because that isa trouble, quite frankly, because that is a little bit like saying, either give me what i want i am going to has done for everybody. No deal remains a possibility and he says it will have a significant economic impact. Having checks meaning checks on the island of ireland, but it will be bettings thought. Not so, says mrjohnsons team. It will be bettings thought. Not so, says mrjohnsons team. The deal as it stands is dead and theres no point in twiddling or fiddling as it stands is dead and theres no point in twiddling orfiddling it. There are elements in it which are inoperable any uk. Eu is a master at hard nosed inoperable any uk. Eu is a master at ha rd nosed negotiations and inoperable any uk. Eu is a master at hard nosed negotiations and i think we got taken for a ride. Because we we re we got taken for a ride. Because we were not. There will be a new boss here on wednesday with their own ideas about how to get a better brexit offer stop but many of the challenges will be ones that we have got used to. Our Political Correspondent, nick eardley is here. There is a senseless weekend of tremendous anticipation in westminster about what it Boris Johnson, it is him, government could look like. One of the most interesting things now, we now clearly, some of the people have said they are not prepared to serve, and done it in almost a provocative manner. Absolutely. We are not sure if its going to be borisjohnson and we will not know until tuesday. Im surejeremy and we will not know until tuesday. Im sure jeremy hunt and we will not know until tuesday. Im surejeremy hunt is looking at the tv and singh, im still in the race, but westminster is preparing for borisjohnson. Race, but westminster is preparing for Boris Johnson. You race, but westminster is preparing for borisjohnson. You can see that the challenges going to have. Philip hammond, david gauke, both confirming it. Ithink hammond, david gauke, both confirming it. I think there could be another three or four cabinet ministers who do the same. And, on top of that, junior ministers who just do not want to serve any johnson government. There is a certain air here ofjumping before youre pushed. I do not think Boris Johnson particularly wanted Philip Hammond to stay in government anyway. But, as you say, there are some people now taking a stand and sing, we think this man is about to become Prime Minister, we do not agree with his strategy saying that we think this man is about to become penance. The big challenge facing as they do or die deadline, that he is referred to, of the 31st of october to somehow renegotiate a Withdrawal Agreement when the European Union has said it will not negotiate and somehow satisfy competing demands of his party, some are saying hell or high water and do something that we cannot rest getting it at the economic damage is too great. Youre absolutely right. In many ways that is what happened to theresa may as well. The mixture of domestic and international pressures. Of domestic and international pressures. There is little thing, if any at all, that the Withdrawal Agreement is prepared. They do not wa nt to agreement is prepared. They do not want to change it, like the deal. Why would they open the door to it now. They think that it is possible, just possible that with enough pressure to avoid no deal, i might be some tweaks, but it is a high Risk Strategy that he and johnson are about to adopt and it is exactly that that has exit eliminated some people in his own party. Even if you negotiated a new deal or only verge of negotiating, youre not going to get it done by the 31st of october, so you need more time mrjohnson has made that such a strong pledge though, that it is very hard to see how he could get his way out of it today. Maybe, just maybe giving his brexiteer credentials, but his team, you heard this morning from Iain Duncan Smith you heard, insisting we live in the sist you heard, insisting we live in the 31st of october and he is getting everything ready for a no deal brexit, if that is what it takes. He would prefer a deal, but at the moment it looks like a tall order. The defence minister tobias ellwood, has branded the seizing of a british flagged oil tanker by iran as a hostile act. His comments came as a recording emerged of Radio Exchanges between a Royal Navy Warship and irans revolutionary guard, moments before the tanker the stena impero was seized in the strait of hormuz on friday. Irans ambassador to the uk says any further escalation of tensions between britain and iran would be unwise and dangerous. Daniala relph reports. The video messages came ahead of the Iranian Revolutionary guard the video messages came ahead of the taking over of the taking over the stena impero, descending from a helicopter to the deck of the tanker. A british warship, hms montrose, had been alerted, but failed to reach the ship on time. It did, though, embark on a Radio Exchange with an iranian patrol boat. Radio you are ordered to change your course to 360. 360 degrees immediately. You will be, you will be safe. The swedish based owners of the tanker insisted the vessel did not breach any regulations. Says its priority is protecting its multinational crew. Translation we followed the ship every second and every minute and we understand that they did not leave international waters. The crew are in ok, but it isa waters. The crew are in ok, but it is a stressful situation for everyone. Our first and most important responsibility is to make sure that we get a solution to the issue to do with the current ship. Make sure that other fish flag ships are safe to operate in these waters that make british flagged ships and then making sure we have a proper, professional relationship with iran. This is a hostile act, lets not judge away from that. With deepening political and diplomatic row, there are still 23 crew members only british flag ship who remain prisoners of irans revelation regard. Our middle east correspondent tom bateman gave us the reaction from fujairah, in the united arab emirates. There has been a great deal of anxiety because, of course, remember it comes right at the heart of those two great polls of power here in the middle east, saudi arabia here on the Arabian Peninsula and iranjust across the strait of farmers here. This has been a jittery time, not just in the last week, but in the last couple of months so the strait of hormuz. Some wondering whether in military conflict was about to happen. Last month, when donald trump said that he was close to launching a retaliatory strike against the iranians when they shut down us drone in disputed circumstances. I expect that we will hear more of the same sense of concern about this, although it does not have any kind of military dimension that i think we had in that a stand off between the iranians earlier in the month, because this is much more been about a sense of iran trying to strain out economically to show that it has the power to do that. It seems there is very much as a retaliatory move. Against the fact that Royal Marines braided a tanker raided a tanker carrying iranian oil of the coast of gibraltar earlier this month. That ship, of course, are still being held. How big an impact is this dispute likely to have on the commercial excitation of the strait of hormuz . We are continually told it is one of the important secret any world. Commercial excitation. British flagged vessels had been advised by the British Government to stay away from the strait of farmers at this time. The number of british flagged vessels that use this waterway is relatively very small compared to the overall number. One bet of the world could also provide merthyr here, but in terms of british flag vehicles, probably one to two transits. Its hard to tell at the moment whether the advice of the British Government at the moment has had an impact, but my sense of the industry is that any major shipping company is going to take that seriously if it has any british interest only basil. I expect we might see some ships changing the many, or existing away for the time being. British interests on a vessel. Things like insurance cost per ships to pass their hair have been going up and up ever since the tensions got under way going through here. West Midlands Police say a 15 year old boy has been was shot in coventry city centre. It happened last night in Cross Cheaping area, around 11 10pm. The teenagers injuries are said to be serious, but not life threatening. A Major Investigation is under way. Detectives are treating it as attempted murder. British Airways Flights between london and cairo remain suspended until at least friday, because of what the airline has described as a safety precaution. No further details have been given. The german carrier, lufthansa, also abruptly cancelled flights to cairo yesterday, but its resumed services today. Andy moore reports. The last minute cancellation of the flight to cairo caused confusion and anger at heathrow airport. One passenger, due to fly to her sisters wedding on tuesday with her husband and two children, says she now faces a huge bill to rebook. I dont know what to do. I cant even tell my sister that the flight is cancelled. My kids, they are feeling disappointed. They are very, very disappointed. I had to tell them the truth, that we dont know whether were going to travel or not. It may be very inconvenient for some travellers, but this plane crash is the spectre that looms behind the ba cancellations. In 2015, a russianjet plunged into the sinai desert, killing all 224 passengers on board. Britain was one of the first countries to warn it was most likely a terrorist attack. Other nations followed the uk in stopping flights out of Sharm El Sheikh. Its now thought the plane was blown up by a bomb smuggled on board at the airport. So far, the cancellations only effect ba flights to and from cairo. Other British Airlines flying to other destinations in egypt are not affected. The Foreign Office has updated its travel advice, saying there is a heightened risk of terrorism against aviation. Its says extra security measures are in place for british planes leaving egypt. Earlier i spoke to our reporter in cairo sally nabil. She told me shes spoken to the ba Regional Customer Services Manager in the area to find out why the airline has grounded flights. I asked him what are the reasons behind this decision made by British Airways . And he said that this is a routine check. Perhaps it is raising a lot of questions because it did not happen in cairo before, but it happens in other parts of the world and he said it is just further security assessments and the ban, or suspension he said, is not going to be extended and the first flight from london to cairo is scheduled next friday night, so he said that this is just their normal procedure. But it has caused a lot of confusion, because it did not happen in egypt before. He also said that this does not mean by any chance that there are security loopholes in Cairo International airport. He added that British Security officials have checked the airport a few days ago and the feedback was very positive, but still there are a lot of questions why this decision was made by many passengers. Some of them expressed concern over social media, saying that if British Airways has solid information regarding potential security threats for example why did it not share, why did the company did not share this information with the passengers . How frustrated by the egyptian authorities by this decision, how frustrated are the egyptian authorities by this decision. Given the problems the country has experienced with long term Flight Cancellations . Particularly, obviously, in Sharm El Sheikh as a result of that bomb attack that brought down a russian plane . I think it is fair to say that egyptian officials were very much taken aback by the british decision. For a few hours there was no official comment whatsoever from any egyptian authority. After some hours, late at night, the head of the Civil Aviation Authority Issued a statement saying we do not know yet why this decision was made, we are still contacting British Airways to know more. But we have to confirm that Cairo International airport and all airports across the country are quite safe and they meet the International Standards of safety and security. The fact that British Airways made this decision sends a very negative message, actually, and it hits Tourism Industry really hard. This is a peak season, summer vacation, a lot of egyptian expats are coming home to spend some time of their family and friends. So, the message is negative and the time is very critical. Earlier i also spoke to the bbc travel show presenter simon calder who was at heathrow airport. He told me that even though British Airways isnt flying to cairo other airlines are. Egyptair is putting on bigger planes are hoping that it will be able to put up some of the passengers are stranded by British Airways. As a indication of of what has caused the airline to react this way . Is there any indication . We have held about any terrible fatal crash in october 2015 and there has been intense sensitivity about security at eachs airport sense. In particular by the Foreign Office. And that remains why the uk is the one country where flights between Sharm El Sheikh, the main resort remain banned. British officials on thursday were looking at security arrangements, very closely, at cairo airport. And then on friday afternoon, the Foreign Office said they were concerned about a heightened threat to aviation and quite abruptly, yesterday afternoon, British Airways said, we are cancelling flights for a week. If you want to pick a fight for this time next sunday, you can British Airways. I have never quite seen anything like this, it is one specific airline on one specific route cancelled for a very specific length of time. It is baffling, is it not . If there is a wider problem, that it it not . If there is a wider problem, thatitis it not . If there is a wider problem, that it is not all the Airlines Acting in unison. And it is something that only affects one yelling, why have others like luftha nsa yelling, why have others like lufthansa some have been involved. Because it is security, no one is probably going to tell us that. |j probably going to tell us that. have spoken to thomas cook and easyj et have spoken to thomas cook and easyjet and they will be operating their flights absolutely normally, today for example. They say, of course we are calling Foreign Office advice but we believe we can conduct these operations perfectly safely. Of course, there will be some thousands of people who were due to travel to egypt in the coming week on holiday, who may now be thinking, well, i am on holiday, who may now be thinking, well, iam not on holiday, who may now be thinking, well, i am not so sure about going. At the moment, because the Foreign Office says it is ok to go, but were just concerned about aviation, there is no grounds on which you can change or cancel your trip without losing some or all of your money.

Tens of thousands of pro democracy protesters are marching in hong kong. Its the latest in a series of demonstrations that began by opposing a controversial extradition bill, but have since broadened to include calls for wider political change. Stephen mcdonell is in hong kong for us. Todays protests a re todays protests are more the same, but judging todays protests are more the same, butjudging by the way todays protests are more the same, but judging by the way that your dress, everyone is prepared for at least the potential of trouble. Yes, absolutely. It is a very fluid situation on the streets of hong kong right now. All these protesters have come well past that the area of the sort of official permission for that match, for the pro democracy match. And they are now having what is now an illegal gathering. The reason that i am looking up that way is that the end of the street up there is where the right place are going to come from. I will be heading in that direction. Why believe authorities be upset because nick is building here is the Chinese National government headquarters in hong kong. Have a look at this graffiti over her. That said, the president is a pig. You can imagine how this is going down in beijing. That beijings headquarters in hong kong has been attacked like this by protesters. Inevitably, there is going to be a showdown here tonight. These protesters, you can hear them sort of calling it and moving, because any moment now they are expecting right place to come out and clear the net. That is why they are all wearing helmets and why we have a best son as well, to distinguish ourselves from the protesters we have and these are best son, so that the protesters and the police can see that we are the media. In the coming hours, we are going to see a more street clashes between this Pro Democracy Movement and hong kongs right place. Between this Pro Democracy Movement and hong kongs right placem terms of the prospects over the coming weeks and months, we had a chief executive saying, while the ball is not going to be brought forward , ball is not going to be brought forward, there is no guarantee that there will be future attempts to legislate . The bill. There will be future attempts to legislate . The bill. This movement has marked into something else. They started up opposing this very unpopular bill allowing for extradition to mainland chinas courts, controlled by the communist party. Now, they say they are here to defend hong kongs freedoms and they are calling for democracy, one one vote democracy. Given that they are not going to give up unless they get something, approaching us, one person, one vote democracy. And the government are not going to grant universal democracy in a hurry. We are seeing demonstrations like this, starting off like a large piece for much, but then towards the night, when they were hardcore element, i suppose, night, when they were hardcore element, isuppose, stay night, when they were hardcore element, i suppose, stay in the street to take up to the authorities, we are seeing this street violence. As i say, we are going to see this in the coming hours tonight. Stephen, thank you very much. Keep safe. The government wants to stop companies gagging employees who want to speak out about wrong doing in the workplace. Theres been growing concern about the use of non disclosure agreeements known as ndas to silence staff particularly over issues such as Sexual Harassment and racial discrimination. But new legislation will make it illegal for companies to use ndas to prevent staff from reporting wrong doing to the police or their doctor. Heres our business correspondent, katy austin. Typically signing a nondisclosure agreement, nicknamed a gagging clause, means that a parting employee get a pay out, but cannot discuss the situation publicly. This has been thrust into the spotlight by high profile cases, for example, the businessmen sir philip green was accused of using them in a billing and harassment allegations, which he denies. Billing. There has been growing concern, including from mps, that they are sometimes being used inappropriately to cover up harassment and discrimination in the workplace. They have been reformed to prevent the misuse. These changes will. One to prevent the misuse. These changes will. One lawyer, to prevent the misuse. These changes will. One lawyer, who has been calling for reform says this is a start, but does not go far enough. The good thing is that you can tell the police, you can talk to your doctor, you can go to a lawyer. You can even talk to a priest. The problems are that very many people, any real world, will want to talk to their nearest and dearest and this reform does not allow them to do that.
