And back at the bridge Frank Lampard one of chelseas grestest players is named as the clubs new manager. Its 5 oclock. Our top story. The betting group william hill is planning to close around 700 shops across the uk putting more than 4,500 jobs at risk. The Company Blames it on new government regulations, which reduce the maximum stake on fixed odds betting terminals from £100 to £2. William hill says its suffered a significant fall in revenues as a result. Campaigners, who warned that fixed odds machines were encouraging addiction have welcomed the news but employees say the scale of the losses is a massive shock. Tom blenkinsop from the betting Shop Workers Union community described the bookmakers announcement as devastating news for thousands of workers. The betting shop has always been on the high street. I think the traditional one to one human relationship has been able to mitigate against some of the consequences that people have been talking about in relation to problem gambling. Gambling in terms of spaced out timings between races is very different to what has been happening with the fobts in betting shops. In terms of our members, the implications for them are pretty stark. A lot of these people, mainly women, are in areas where there isnt much employment have been working for, and very loyally, for william hill for many years. If the industry as well as government were aware of the potential consequences of this legislation, between the two of them, they should have been meeting to mitigate the circumstances that we are now in. Our Business Editor simon jack is here. There is a balance here, isnt there, a lot of campaigners have wa nted there, a lot of campaigners have wanted to cut the level of gambling addiction. As a result of these new regulations, a lot ofjobs are under threat. A lot of people will find this a victory for their campaigning. People who have been to a betting shop will know they have seen the betting machines and they are profitable for the shops. A lot of high street businesses are leaving the high street, the betting shops have stayed there because of those fixed odd betting terminals have kept them there when a lot of other business has gone on line. For Research Purposes only i have used them myself and you can lose money very quickly. We were warned about this. William hill said back in march, if you introduce this legislation, we were close may be 900 shops. It has come up short of that but for and have thousand jobs isa that but for and have thousand jobs is a big number but there are 430,000 gambling addicts in the uk, 2 million if you include those close are at risk of addiction. This will be one high street casualty that not eve ryo ne be one high street casualty that not everyone will be lamenting. William hill is one betting chain. There are possibly others that are vulnerable as well. I have been told it is a racing certainty others will follow suit. The other one is ladbrokes. They have over 3000 shops. You could see another thousand school. I am afraid where they caught because of the costs associated with having a high street presence, as all retailers know, it seems inevitable that more will close. Simon, thank you very much indeed. Lets take you to stirling. Devolved assemblies for wales and Northern Ireland, institutions that have strengthened democracy and enriched public life. The question of how we can secure our union for a future is being asked with urgency, and it is not hard to see why. Here in scotland, the independence referendum in 2014 followed in quick succession by the snps success in the general election one year later, sent political shock waves across United Kingdom. And Northern Ireland, after the longest sustained period of devolved governments of the 1970s, the power sharing institutions set up have now sadly not functioned for over two years. In wales, the party which campaigns for a welsh separation from the United Kingdom this year scored its best result any National Election the century. And the leader of the party that top people in those elections in england speaks casually of the potential break up of our union. All of this against the backdrop of brexit, a profound constitutional change that is putting political and administrative strange on the union. When gordon brown recently said he fears the union is more imperilled now than it has ever been, he voiced the fears of many. I care passionately about oui of many. I care passionately about our union. I certainly do not underestimate the scale of the challenge it faces. But i am optimistic about its future. The union has proved a remarkably durable and flexible relationship over the centuries, evolving to meet the needs and aspirations of the people of these islands. Its strengths are substantial. The benefits it brings to each constituent part significant. I believe if there was of us who care for eight act wisely, draw on its strengths and think creatively of how to build on them in the years ahead, its futures can and will be a bright and prosperous one. The first step is to appreciate the historical complexity and intricacy of our United Kingdom. When we talk about the union, we mean the modern 21st century relationship that existed a bit seen historic nations of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The union is not a result of a single event, it has evolved over many centuries. Legal union between england and wales was implemented by the tudors, house with welsh roots. England and wales were united in personal union with scotland in 1603 bya personal union with scotland in 1603 by a scottish royal house, the stuarts. Political union was achieved under the last stuart monarch, queen and wales were united in personal union with scotland in 1603 by a scottish royal house, the stuarts. Political union was achieved under the last stuart monarch, queen anne, one century later, another act of Union Created union. United kingdom took on the form we know today step it is clear from the potted history that when we talk about the union, we are in fact talking about a complex network of connections stretching back over the centuries. The economic architecture of the union has been remarkably sta ble of the union has been remarkably stable and a huge source of strength, so much so we can sometimes take it for granted. We can forget that the uks customs Union Created the first modern industrial marketplace, the pound sterling has served the four unions of the nation for centuries and our fully integrated internal market, with no barriers to doing business, remains the most important market for businesses across the uk. It is sometimes said that celebrating these economic benefits, while at these economic benefits, while at the same time arguing we should deliver brexit is contradictory. That is to mistake the nature of the United Kingdom. Because historical milestones and economic hard wiring are important, but they are not the true essence of oui are important, but they are not the true essence of our union. It is not just a constitutional artefact, not just a constitutional artefact, not just in marketplace for goods, it is afamily of just in marketplace for goods, it is a family of nations and the union of people. On the evidence of that social union is all around us. As Prime Minister, i have seen it first hand. In our armed forces, where national and local identities are celebrated, but we are every soldier, airman and marine shares a common loyalty. In our diplomats drawn from every corner of the uk, representing our shared liberal values of democracy and the rule of law internationally. You see it in the good that you get it does, help the good that you get it does, help the purest people around the world, much of it directed from the hq in east kilbride. From our services, working every day to keep everyone in the uk safe. All of these public serva nts in the uk safe. All of these Public Servants come together from different backgrounds to serve a common purpose, achieving more as one team uk and the ever could separately. You see that social union in our shared institutions, the glue that holds our union together.

The nhs, whose Core Principles of high Quality Health care, free at the point of use, according to clinical need, i the definition of our solidarity as a union of people. There is the Prime Minister speaking in stirling about the United Kingdom. She is expected to say she is confident that whoever succeeds her at number ten will make the union at number ten will make the union at number ten will make the union at number ten will make the union their priority and will be building on work done during the last years, that she says strengthening the union has been an explicit priority of the government. But nicola sturgeon, the first minister of scotland, has been saying that actually theresa mays legacy will be that scotland is heading towards independence. Theresa may they are speaking in stirling. We will go back to that a little bit later on in the programme. In other news. Iran has summoned the British Ambassador in tehran over the seizure of an oil tanker by the Gibraltar Authorities with the help of royal marine commandos. The marines flew to gibraltar overnight in order to lead the operation to board the tanker, which is suspected of breaking eu sanctions by taking crude oil to syria. Chief minister of gibraltar Fabian Picardo spoke earlier this morning about the incident. In the early hours of this morning, assisted by the attachment of Royal Marines voided a super tanker carrying crude oil to syria. We have detained the vessel and its cargo. This action arose from information giving the gibraltar government reasonable grounds to believe the vessel was acting in breach of European Union sanctions against syria. In fact, we have reason to believe it was carrying its shipment of crude oil to the refinery in syria. That refinery is the property ofan syria. That refinery is the property of an entity that is subject to European Union sanctions against syria. With me now is our defence and diplomatic correspondent, Jonathan Marcus what led to marines being flown out to ta ke what led to marines being flown out to take part in this operation . The indications are we have this from a senior spanish official, that the intelligence came from the americans. That probably is one of the reasons why the iranians are so angry. The reason for seizing the vessel is the belief it was heading to syria. Syria has been under European Union sanctions since at least 2011. Many of those relate to elements of its oil and petroleum industry. The belief was that this was heading to a refinery that was owned by one of the sanctioned entities. It is of course apparently the first time a European Union country has seized a vessel in this way. The iranians i think im very angry and they have called in the british bass to tehran, summoned him and it looks as though they probably believe this is much more the american maximum Pressure Campaign to force them into a new nuclear deal. The americans having walked away from the existing deal. Deal. The americans having walked away from the existing dealm comes at a time where relations between britain and iran are pretty bad. Of course, there are particular tensions between britain and iran and the European Union generally over this nuclear deal. In essence what the iranians icing to the europeans is, we want to in the deal but we are suffering under the american sanctions pressure. You have got to take action to relieve that pressure, improve trade between your companies and tehran. The europeans are making an effort, and a sense, to do that. None of the experts i speak to believe there is any way the europeans can really address the pressure particularly on the oil industry. The iranians have already broken one limit set by the nuclear agreement, they are threatening to break more of those terms this coming sunday. I think this crisis has to be seen very much in that context. The iranians are very cross and the are trying to send a clear message to the europeans, time is running out to save this agreement. You, the europeans, have to do more to relieve the economic pressure. Lets go now to gibraltar and speak to Jonathan Sacramento news editor of the gibraltar broadcasting corporation. Tell us more about this boarding of the oil tanker. Yes, indeed. The Royal Marines have been involved. The gibraltar government says it has beenin the gibraltar government says it has been in charge of the operation and has been leading on the operation since the beginning, since it started in the early hours of the morning, and the operation at sea itself has been carried out and led by the Royal Gibraltar Police, in conjunction with Law Enforcement agencies, such as customs and the Port Authority and the Gibraltar Defence police. And what exactly happened, the Security Forces the flue author mackley forces flew over . The Royal Marines did. The Royal Gibraltar Police approached the vessel by ocean. It is understood the Royal Marines were deployed on to the vessel by what is known as a first drop from the helicopter and one senior officer, we understand, just seconds after the Royal Marines landed on board the Royal Marines landed on board the vessel was also airlifted from the vessel was also airlifted from the Police Vessel onto the deck of the Police Vessel onto the deck of the ship. And a pretty unusual operation, generally, and it has caused quite an international incident. Iran is furious with what has happened. Yes, indeed. That is what we hear from the international news. I am a local broadcaster and i can tell you about what is happening here on the ground, as regards of course to iran and the diplomatic fallout from it, i think that is not something i could possibly comment on. All right, good to talk to you. The headlines on bbc news. William hill blames new restrictions on fixed odds betting for its plans to close hundreds of shops but critics say problem gambling had to be tackled.
