It will be blueprints first and. |j suppose the good news is for voice johnson and his government is that parliament is on summer recess. That is the best news, bad news is obviously he is down to one and equally will not be making happy advisers are Prime Minister and downing street whenever they receive is one of the most prominent conservative supporters of the second referendum is doctor philip lee a formerjustice minister and is actively considering he has told the guardian defecting to the lib dems or is setting as an independent. That would leave the Boris Johnson government at the helm of a minority government at the helm of a minority government and that is before Parliament Comes back from holiday. As he wasjust Parliament Comes back from holiday. As he was just saying, Parliament Comes back from holiday. As he wasjust saying, one former cabinet minister says they believed swathes of seats are now at risk including the seat of michael gove. This is serious stuff and clearly there is, although mps are not setting and not physically in westminster, i think they will be plotting not just westminster, i think they will be plotting notjust in downing street but from brexiteers who will be very unhappy and think that the government is going for a new deal and from remainders who see a chink of hope here for this liberal democrat victory and the majority reduced to one. The objects on the weight that he has kept it much more in the Bigger Picture which is where he wanted it to be because at the end of the day the eu need to think he is going to walk away and the problem with theresa may as they thought she would never walk away and so far the strategy is quite good, high risk but what he has not given the way he campaigned. What about the labour brexiteers going to the conservatives, do you think that what happened 7 the conservatives, do you think that what happened . I think they might vote but not necessarily walking and become conservative mps. I would say in the guardian and this is really, it isa in the guardian and this is really, it is a lot to digest here but other tory mps pointed out privately that the majority of seats whether the lib dems are held, and before this result, this victory of the lib dems is we have seen this first pact between the red lib dems, and the greens and others going on television to say it is not fair but the fact of the matter is thank the backroom deals. That is politics and there will be people who want the promise are invited for voice johnson and variant much counting on hand to deliver the brexit before the 31st of october and it is not lost on anybody that the thing yesterday, saying the only way to live or a general election is to deliver brexit and then call a general election. On the idea of the alliance you mentioned, this same article goes on to say that as far as brexit prydie they are not going to edge towards the conservatives and it is interesting that steve baker of the erg is saying that this will be a massive goal for the parties. Obviously one of the biggest brexiteers who turned down thejob and biggest brexiteers who turned down the job and the government and could bea the job and the government and could be a headache for them. So far, borisjohnson is winning them back from the brexit party but do general election, fine cut off the brexit party and go to the party and you could see the brexit party splitting a vote on the right and lib dems splitting the vote on the left and a back doorfor ajeremy splitting the vote on the left and a back door for a Jeremy Corbyn government. I scheduled walk away from tax revenue, tax on tech giants will rule out trade deal warrants washington. Donald trump is a p pa re ntly washington. Donald trump is apparently saying i will do a trade deal and the facebooks and googles and leave them alone and we know this is an issue because facebook, google and amazon have not necessarily been paying the taxes they should have been. |j necessarily been paying the taxes they should have been. I like that you threw in the word necessary. And some are saying they are killing the high street and amazon is not paying its taxes and it comes on that it is all well and good and donald trump very clever m ove , all well and good and donald trump very clever move, protectionism, and it shows that it would not be that straightforward. He did the same thing with francis. And donald trump is furious that the french government wants to do this. The fa ct of government wants to do this. The fact of the matter is that it is killing off the high street and people like google and amazon are selling things that are very convenient and a great majority of us are convenient and a great majority of us are clicking online and did not have to pay rent and also for example are headquartered in ireland and paying an absolutely tiny amount, they paid 17 Million Euros only on taxes on its profits in 2018 oii only on taxes on its profits in 2018 on france last year and that was just a 20 increase which was nothing. And whether i think it is the french government or british government, they are going to have to tread carefully despite the threat for the uk, to tread carefully despite the threat forthe uk, no to tread carefully despite the threat for the uk, no can do, no deal and another threat to having a deal and another threat to having a deal after brexit with the us. Is that actually this is something that a lot of people in public opinion, whether it is the United Kingdom or in france and feel very strongly about and that these companies have had it far too good for far too long and that they are not doing their bit. Notjust necessarily but at and that they are not doing their bit. Not just necessarily but at all and that money is owed, do come and we do and this is actually unacceptable. Talking about trade we turn to the ft and the general trade warand we turn to the ft and the general trade war and we heard that donald trump and voice johnson spoke war and we heard that donald trump and voicejohnson spoke today about and voicejohnson spoke today about a potential uk and us trade deal as well so it will be interesting to see what happens to that, the details of that and meanwhile in china, on the front of the ft. Escalation of a trade war affecting the markets. Making them very jittery and investor is veryjittery and seeking safety elsewhere. So of course that will make the rest of the world, what is that they say . If america sneezes, everyone else gets a cold . His base love this and he is one year out and you see he is being seen through this prism and that protection shows it helps them quite well. He and the core Manufacturing Baseis well. He and the core Manufacturing Base is where Blue Collar Workers that work for him, his base is happy for him and i think he will win again and no one has worked out how to attack him, no democrat has and i think until they do he is and. The jobs figures cannot today and there is 164,000. Jobs figures cannot today and there is 164,000. It is jobs figures cannot today and there is 164,000. It is going gangbusters and people vote on that. But democrats did not have their act together and they need one candidate. There is no unifying candidate. There is no unifying candidate. That there are fears as the ft says that they will have to cut Interest Rates even further so i do not know there is a lot of posturing going on. Lets turn to the daily mail and we found out that he would be that new home secretary it got a lot of people talking, she is saying i want criminals to be terrified. She is a hard line home secretary and she denies claims that she was proud that death penalty. And not talk about something that stands on terrace and she says no waste. Tough online order and you see through the prism of if it was going to the polls, it is the big issue and hence have the 20,000 announcement of extra police on the streets. It has been hurting torres in certain parts of the country hands that announcement. Interview is interesting and nothing particularly massively new and here but the statement of intent seen as quite hard right. Some were saying for the home office at her big thing is emigration so well have see but she does say i am not going to target immigration but it should be relative to what the economy wants and also here says that she wants some investigation into the eip sex abuse scandal and tom watson needs to be held to his account over his behaviour and this. Went to make of that fact of Boris Johnson announcing this is stop and search and going to give police more power and going to give police more power and described as political cover and support but the problem is that black people are targeted 40 more than white. This is one of these aspects of giving police more power and this idea of being a writer on criminals. I would be interested to know because i have not seen the figure that you are quoting but i think it is an important power that police can have because we live without being paranoid or exaggerating and what is a, the police and Intelligence Service have an incredible job to do and it is not lost on me that reporting on it about the United Kingdom or france with the terrorist attacks and we forget because we have, we have not had, thank god a successful terrorist attack and a little while andi terrorist attack and a little while and i have covered to many of them, they affect too many lives. We quote in the media a lot people who die. Quite rightly but what we do not often quote very much are all the people who are either physically mutilated, traumatised or if lives are changed for either so i think stop and search, it is important. If there is any kind of really prevent discrimination that needs to be addressed and i think speaking back to priti wanting a full explanation of the police to clear three office rs over of the police to clear three officers over the sex abuse inquiry, this feeds into this policing by consent and that trust of the british people over the great majority of policemen and women and we forget that as well who are not armed and that is extraordinary because every country on the planet not to mention countries like the philippines or elsewhere but we didnt have things we need to be addressed. Turning to the times that may have needed to come out a week ago during the heat wave. May have needed to come out a week ago during the heat wavelj may have needed to come out a week ago during the heat wave. I am surprised more papers have not gone with more analysis on the minority of one and a majority government in this sense that this is, here we are all of us are hoping and thinking at the plight of the people who have been evacuated and their lives and we do not know if they will be back to their homes. Here we are and we discover that actually who knew that while swimming had become this big thing, hundreds of wild swimming clubs formed across the United Kingdoms in the past two years and the membership went from 70,000 people up to 70000 and the bad news is that as people cure themselves and to see a woman with her three children, if you go and look at what is the that photo it says many people well have been unaware that storms have overwhelm the countrys sewage network. The point is that the Environment Agency has a huge job to do and we need far more resources. But instead ofjust an exceptional circumstances releases more sewage exceptional circumstances releases more sewage but there are all kinds of Dangerous Things floating around, mercury, lead and metals of all kinds. Just quickly because i want to get tbi. Borisjohnson visited today but he has given free reign . The whole thing is let boris be boris and part of his charm is he is not a polished politician but he has given free reign which causes a headache for Security Officers around him because they cannot control him and that will be be dilemma for the pr people around him, you have to have more control being a pm and police will not let him realm for security reasons and how do you manage that . Dynamics have changed now and he is Prime Minister. Mayor of london is a differentjob and minister. Mayor of london is a different job and foreign minister. Mayor of london is a differentjob and foreign secretary. Yes to be a bit more choreographed and that will be an inherent tension for him, i think. And that will be an inherent tension for him, ithink. It and that will be an inherent tension for him, i think. It reminds me of gordon brown when he took over for tony blair and that he actually had a very successful first few weeks and then went to some lights etc and how quiet borisjohnson has been so farand we how quiet borisjohnson has been so far and we will see if and when. Perhaps because he does not want particular questions about the political situation and it is interesting and one would expect the Prime Minister to go there. We have another look at 11 30pm and we look forward to seeing you there and we look forward to you following ask. Did not forget that it is all online, just had to bbc diet coke dot uk and if you miss it, i had to the iplayer to catch up. I will see you at the top of the hour. Hello and good evening and has been a drier day today for those flood hit areas and the number of flood warnings has been dropping as well and of course we still have that ongoing situation with a severe flood warnings still in force. And a few showers elsewhere for the east and mostly being light through lincolnshire and nottinghamshire as well earlier on but again some of the best weather has been across Northern Ireland and we will get some showers here during this weekend.

Temperature is very similarto and north wales. Temperature is very similar to what we had today and the central belt of scotland should not be too bad at all. For cricket if there are any showers for day three at edgbaston, it will be late in the day because for most of the day it is going to be dry and increasing risk of showers arriving later on. A few more showers are out in the western parts of the uk on sunday and that weather front approaches and that weather front approaches and that weather front approaches and that will be the dominant feature as we head into next week and northern and Western Areas with and northern and Western Areas with a car cloud and showers as well. Later in the day and afternoon into evening those can turn heavy and been very and also across Northern England and threat of local flooding again. Southeast of england and it will probably be dry and some centring around and temperatures may be 27 degrees and that will be the peak of the heat because this is what we have to look forward to for the start of next week. And other areas of low pressure quite slow moving close to our shores and that will bring some showers and longer spells of rain and temperatures will be dropping a little bit and once again the threat of some flooding. This is bbc news. The headlines at 11. Raf helicopters have dropped hundreds of tons of rubble on the broken down wall to keep it from collapsing completely. The dam has protected the nearby town of Whaley Bridge for years but police say effo rts bridge for years but police say efforts to stop it flooding could still fail.
