It is centre stage in British Politics. Italy is eating members of parliament, of the 650 At Westminster. This is the breakdown. Green, sinn fein. That represents those who want Northern Ireland to leave the 80 kingdom. And red, dup. Those are the ones that the conservatives would like to get support from. It has proved controversial. They do not approve of same six marriage. That has prompted the leader of the scottish conservatives to see this. received a categorical assurance that in talking to the dup, no row back of lgbt rights. We introduced equal marriage, to the house of commons, these are the assurances i received. That was one issue. Also some concerns about the Power Sharing agreement. Irish nationalists and unionists must work together, and for various reasons that system broke down injanuary. This is alistair campbell, who used to be tony blairs press officer. Explaining why he thinks this idea of the conservatives and the dup going together is not good. This is about the role of the government and the Northern IrelandPeace Process. When the Peace Process is in trouble, as it is at the moment, the british and irish governments are the mediators between the unionists and nationalists how can they be the mediator, when the unionists are being brought to government . They have not thought this through, it is plain with fire. The dup do not see it this way. Earlier, i spoke to an irish journalist. I wanted earlier, i spoke to an irish journalist. Iwanted his earlier, i spoke to an irish journalist. I wanted his analysis of these issues. Dup represent unionism, sinn fein representing nationalism. If these two parties are talking, but one side is also in the British Government, the British Government cannot be an honest broker. In reality, a strong sense of the Power Sharing government, collapsing earlier this year, is unlikely to be reinstated four use. This could do lasting damage to future Power Sharing, because sinn fein had a good election, getting seven seats. The best performance. And they do not take seats At Westminster, they can turn round to voters, and told you that British Politics does not work. The unionists are going to be part of the government. They are going to be in charge. Next, this is a reporter from the daily telegraph, with this. Just explaining confidence and supply, confidence means if you enter into this, you agreed to back the government in the event of any no confidence motions, supply refers to the fact that you are going to help on key issues, particularly the budget. The dup support base, low income, opposing welfare benefit cuts. That could be an issue. The second, because of the way the geography works. Northern ireland, if brexit occurs, will still have a land border with the European Union because of the republic. Dup supported brexit, somewhat relu cta ntly, supported brexit, somewhat reluctantly, taking a large donation of around half £1 million when they really decided to go for brexit. But since then, they have said some contradictory things. They do not wa nt contradictory things. They do not want a hard border, no checkpoints. 310 mile long border. But at the same time, they do not want any checks on people going from Mainland Britain and Northern Ireland. They do not want you to have to present your passport, going from belfast to glasgow, belfast to london. Will the dup forced theresa may to change the approach . It looked as though we we re approach . It looked as though we were going towards some sort of hard border. But will they be able to make a difference . In some ways, Northern Ireland having previously been safely, is now at the front and centre. Huge amount of attention on the dups socially conservative opinions on same sex marriage. Do you think that is a distraction from what the dup really want . A lot of focus on what the dup believe, coming from radical protestants. But they have ruled with sinn fein for almost a decade. The Power Sharing has gone. But they are not going to be looking for around a core social change, it is going to be politics for Northern Ireland, and the constituencies. Going to go into these negotiations with solid demands. And if you look at the ma nifesto, demands. And if you look at the manifesto, from 2015, going to want things like no end to the winter fuel allowance, more investment in Northern Ireland, no attempts to change the benefits system. Going to be looking for solid and tangible things. Things that they can show to the electorate, and show them that they have deliver this. And whatever they have deliver this. And whatever the deal is, as soon as they release that, you will get them. The cricket, pakistan have got to the champions trophy semifinal. Having been at downing street, i have not had an eye on this . It was certainly a decent performance from pakistan. Just over one week ago, thrashed by india, big rivals, by 124. It looked as though they were in trouble. Sri la nka as though they were in trouble. Sri lanka bat first. Matthews scored 39 iu ns lanka bat first. Matthews scored 39 runs for his team. Biggest score. Then. Pakistan. This is what happened. The captain dropped on 38. That proved to be killing. Record eight Wicket Partnership off 75. Taking them to the semifinals. And getting this victory, and a few days ago against south africa. Through to the semifinals. Pakistan against england, on wednesday in cardiff, and India Bangladesh on thursday. Remarkable turnaround. South africa and australia, new zealand, not through. All to play for. England are the favourites but do not discount india for back to back championships. Much more coverage on the website. In a few minutes. We are going to look at france. What macron has done to french politics has been astonishing. The party has only been around for one year, he has got the presidency and en route toa has got the presidency and en route to a landslide in the parliamentary elections. People across the 80 kingdom have been mulling over election results, and one of those was bristol north west. Sitting tory mp ousted. Labour with the majority of 4000. Jon kay has been speaking to supporters, about what they want the party to do, after such a disappointing result. Politics is a brutal business, and here, things have already moved on. This Conservative Seat has been claimed by labour. Could you feel it immediately . Oh, absolutely. This afternoon, we brought together some rather bruised conservatives. They all agree that theresa may wont survive long term, but they say she must stay on for now. We start discussions on brexit next week. Now is really not the time to be trying to change the Prime Minister. How much credibility does she have at the Negotiating Table for brexit if everybody is saying she can be the leader for the next couple of years, but probably not beyong that . Shes still the Prime Minister of the fifth largest economy in the world. They have to take her seriously. For some, its loyalty. For others, a case of needs must, but they do agree that after mrs mays campaign, they need to think about who comes next. What do you want in a leader . A good orator, someone with charisma, someone who excites young people. Its so important. And maybe she lacked that. Who would you have instead . I mean, ive gone through the options in my head and i keep coming back to borisjohnsonjust because even if you hate him, hes quite persuasive and we need someone to counteractjeremy corbyn. They say the manifesto went down badly when they were going door to door here in bristol north west, and that the conservatives need to think about principles, not personalities. In the meantime, lets do some real soul searching. If dont have an ideology, they told me they want mrs may to involve the grassroots more, Asjeremy Corbyn has in his party. I want more control from members at bristol level, national level, and i think that i want a leader that will listen to us and act. Do you feel youve not been listened to . 0h sorry, but we havent been. It is still very raw. These are not conversations tories here were expecting to have. Jon kay, bbc news, bristol. We are live in the newsroom. The lead story. The fallout from the election. Theresa may has told mps, i got you into this mess, and i will get you out of it. Theresa may, the leader of a country at the moment, so leader of a country at the moment, so is emanuel macron. But he continues to revolutionise french politics. The party has only been around for one year, already got the presidency and of course for a landslide in the parliamentary elections. On current projections, this is how it is going. A real landslide. The republicans, giants of french politics, blue. And others. Le pen, faring no better. Front national, between 1 10 seats. One thing to emphasise, turnout was relatively low. And a number of the defeated leaders have highlighted this. The fact of the matter, the landslide this comment. His party is on track for a landslide, one year after it was formed. Next sunday is going to decide the exact number of seats. But already looking ahead to government. The significance of this result is clear, but we must show determination to meet the challenges of the next five years. President macron voted at his home, as the man elected to change france. The Polling Station of far right leader le pen, was marked by a solitary fan, a selfie. Her party, once predicted to win 80 seats. Now expected to get no more than a handful. Supporters must turn out next sunday, so that we can oppose the drastic policies of macron, including abolishing worker rights. Macron could end up with three quarters of the parliament. He wants to push reforms, as quickly as possible. The problem is that the lack of opposition in the next parliament will bring opposition elsewhere. And that could be in the streets. And the french are very good at opposition in the streets. Clear majority would be very good, tackling frances labour laws, but any majority is likely to need sensitive politic or handling. The party draws candidates from the centre left, centre right, half new to politics entirely. The is going to politics entirely. The is going to begina to politics entirely. The is going to begin a new political era, new to voters, president and parliamentarians. Today marks one year since the pulse Nightclub Attack in orlando. 49 People Killed when a guman opened fire at a gay nightclub. Our correspondent has been to see how the community is moving. Singing. They were named ambassadors of hope, love, and healing in orlando. This is what we are here for, we sing songs of love and hope to the world. At that moment, it was the call. These are all the victims. Josh lost his friend shane in the attack at pulse. As he was dealing with his own loss, he was called upon to sing with the choir at a memorial for victims. I did not know it was going to turn out to be the biggest event that the chorus had ever sung at, at that time. At that moment, that was when for me i started to heal. Joel strack, one of the founding members of the chorus, was also singing that night. In my head, i was thinking i would give up my own life to bring back any one of those kids. Im 57 years old, ive lived a rich, vibrant life, ive done things in this world that these kids are never going to have the opportunity to do. It was after that concert that the group took on an unlikely role as a Rapid Response team, sent to vigils and gatherings to sing as people mourned. I think the chorus recognised we had an Important Role to play in the community. Both representing the Gay Community as well as using our music to heal, and bring hope. Singing. The timing kind of had us reeling, because it was right around the one Year Anniversary of gay marriage being legalised nationwide. It was a slap in the face, and it was a huge wake up call that we have a lot of work to do. Shea callinan left her home after her family refused to accept her sexual identity. One place where she did feel welcome was pulse. A gay club is notjust a gay club, you know . Its notjust a club. It was a haven. But im really glad that ijoined the chorus when i did, and im really glad that when pulse happened, i had this group of people who felt exactly how i did. They are my brothers and sisters in song. They fill my heart with love, so that i can go out and fill the world with love. The fallout from the election, most people deleting whether the conservatives were going to get a large medium, small majority. Not many commentators expected the hung parliament. It has raised questions about the government, and how bricks at brexit negotiations could go. I have been at downing street, reporting on the comings and goings. I was doing a lengthy twitter q a. But i also recorded some answers. Just behind me, the cabinet is having its first meeting since last week election. Which new policies of the government going to burst through and what will be the approach to brexit . All day long, on twitter, you have been sending me hundreds and hundreds of questions. Why are remainers saying brexit is losing momentum when the Liberal Democrats and Scottish National party did not gain . They are looking at what theresa may said during the campaign. Iam at what theresa may said during the campaign. I am asking the british people to give me a strong mandate so people to give me a strong mandate soi people to give me a strong mandate so i can negotiate and of course she has been talking about her brexit, leaving the Single Market, the customs union. The fact she does not have that mandate, no majority, that is wider remainers have said people are rejecting her a version of brexit. It is a difficult thing to do. The other thing to talk about, labour and the south of england. It looks as though labour were doing better at remain areas. Particularly the south of england. The anecdotal evidence, they were not liking what theresa may has said. What did the 52 vote for in the referendum . What did the 52 vote for in the referendum . Staying what did the 52 vote for in the referendum . Staying or leaving the Single Market . That is one of the issues. Whatever form Single Market . That is one of the issues. Whateverform brexit cliques, disco and to please some people more others. Hi laura. The conservatives going to seriously consider replacing theresa may . |j consider replacing theresa may . think it is a life question. For 110w. Think it is a life question. For now. It seems as though the cabinet seem to think the best thing to do is to let theresa may stay at the moment. They do not want to have the moment. They do not want to have the instability of a leadership election. They do not want to be immediately having any conservative bloodbath. If that happens, they could get another general election. And after how wrongly got the calculations, they would be terrified because they fear it could be labour winning. And constitutionally, theresa may had the votes. Most part not going to be Out Of The Woods later . Some have said no way that she can be the leader when it comes to the next general election. Out by the summer . Christmas . A couple of years . Politics is just so volatile. Christmas . A couple of years . Politics isjust so volatile. We do not know the answer. Food vendors nearby . Reporters need food the Prime Minister has got more pressing matters. And at the centre of town, we can get plenty of food you have got the media, and on the left hand side, the front door to number ten. Waiting on the cabinet ministers. And i will be back tomorrow. Any more questions about what is happening, you can find me on twitter. I will get you an answer. See you tomorrow. Bye. Hello. The weather, it is almost stopped then repeat. What we saw at the beginning of the week, the sunny conditions in the south will almost be the same as we move towards the end of the week. Some subtle variations. Things could get hot. High pressure. Allowing the systems to deflect. Heavy rain for a time. Becoming fragmented. Scattered showers for scotland, and some cloud developing. Warm in the south. 23. As we move out on tuesday, into wednesday, that High Pressure goes to the high continent, allowing this pressure to start squeezing from the atlantic. And when the two meet, it could be pretty interesting. Potentially some very warm air, across the country, particularly hot in the south east. Hardly a cloud on wednesday, in england and and wales. The best of the working week. Showery in the east. 26, 27. That is not out of the question. Warm air, drifting to scotland. As we move out of wednesday, we could have some thundery showers. Drive in fresher conditions. Slow moving, weak affair. Temperatures not going to dip that much. Mid 20s, south east. High teens, west. As we move out of those they, High Pressure dominating the story across the south. Keeping things relatively quiet. Weather fronts toppling. Spells of wet weather. Breeze, heavy rain. The best of the sunshine in the south east, more cloud generally. So what has been happening . Jet stream has a kink. By the weekend, we may see the jet stream evening. The level of uncertainty, and that is going to dictate dry weather to the south. But not for long. It is going to revert back to the kink, allowing that High Pressure to sit across the united kingdom, driving some warm airfrom the new united kingdom, driving some warm air from the new continent. Low pressure never far away. More uncertainty as we get to that 6 10 day period. Rain at times in the north. Dry, warm elsewhere. But the question, just for how long . We firm up question, just for how long . We firm up on the details will over the next few days. Enjoy. With the democratic unionists, to keep the conservatives in power. She told a meeting At Westminster that shes got the conservatives into a mess and she was the right person to get them out of it. The Prime Minister was superb, really statesmanlike and humble in recognising the difficulties but forthright in tackling the problems the country faces. Earlier, mrs may convened her new cabinet as ministers acknowledged that the queens speech, setting out the governments plans, might be delayed. Were in talks with the Democratic Unionist Party to see the deal that we can put together and i am very optimistic that will happen but obviously until we have that we cant agree the final details of the queens speech. And, the start of the formal brexit negotiations,
