iris johnston, the highest offices would not move, amber rudd, irisjohnston, philip hammond. as time moved on, there was a question that began to emerge around boris, the notion that he might be sidelined from the campaign, a suggestion that he would not go down well in some of the northern seat, he was too posh, and it jarred with northern seat, he was too posh, and itjarred with the big's daughter image that she is trying to portray. there were stories in the media this morning suggesting that ministers are briefing against him. i don't think he has been briefed against in the way that some embers of the cabinet are being briefed against. we don't have long, let's turn to the financial times. a bit of brexit in ireland. this is interesting, and curious, the suggestion being that eu diplomats might be raising the prospect of northern ireland voted ina referendum prospect of northern ireland voted in a referendum to rejoin, orjoin the south, to have a united ireland, and state in the eu. and that somehow this possibility would be enshrined in the brexit treaty, because the ir

amber rudd has welcomed it and will look at it carefully, which means, what? excavation might summon from the national police chiefs' council said, well, the details would have to be considered. if you we re would have to be considered. if you were to have police funded by facebook, will they be wearing the same uniform will they have the same powers? will they sent you an emoticon when you have reported a crime, assad face something? it will not work. because a lot of crimes involve a social media element therefore you have to check some things, you will need to have a liaison officers working across these companies, and to save you might contribute somewhat taxes, please! these companies are so powerful now they are almost above individual national governments. jeremy corbyn pledges £3 billion to close the education gap. the labour leader vows to invest in children's future, he tells teachers. we don't know where this money is coming from yet. it is an interesting thing. we did not know where the money for donald trump's walls going to come from. still nobo

home secretary amber rudd hinted that with theresa may seeking a larger mandate, that could be a way in which she is seeking to land a softer kind of brexit. so i think this is theresa may making clear to the daily mail, and the right wing of her party, that no, she's going to stick to those pledges, the end of freedom of movement, the end of the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice, and jurisdiction of the european court of justice, and i jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice, and i think that is something that is expected. what people will also be looking for, the final cameron legacy she dumps, going forward into the next election, could be that she cares up the pledge of no .7% aid and the lock on pensions is set to go, so there could be a lot of focus on that. the front page of the times, theresa may forced to weaken key target on migrants. the times are saying this is part of the price of calling a quick election. you have a lot to tie up before parliament rises for the election campaign. they are saying she's going to have to give in, not necessarily completely,

we saw this when amber rudd, the home secretary, was trying to get whatsapp, owned by facebook, to break its encryption essentially after the westminster terror attack and whatsapp, which literally has 1 billion customers around the world and has made a big deal about being encrypted from end to end, shrugged their shoulders and said what are you going to do? this is what we promised our customers. we are reaching the point the sites are so big, three orfour years ago reaching the point the sites are so big, three or four years ago we were talking about what's on the internet and all of us are on our phones all £§g facebook, and all of us are on our phones all ifzg— 55 facebook, your day checking facebook, your grandmother is on there as much as your little cousin honour at the end result is the theme is basically the public sphere daschle little cousin and at the end. —— little cousin and at the end. if it's not possible to police it in an old—fashioned sense, is this a threatjust to get them to tidy up their act? this is a report by the home affairs select committee, which ha

we have just seen the home secretary, amber rudd, arriving, and earlier we saw the new commission of the metropolitan police, cressida dick, arriving. this is herfirst day in her newjob and a very sombre first day it must be. she will be reading a poem during the funeral service later on. yes, difficult balance as you say. a public memorial but the service for a grieving family, for pc palmer's family, for his widow, his young daughter, his mum and dad and brothers and sisters. the dean of southwark cathedral is very mindful of trying to bridge the gap between those two things, the public memorial and the private funeral service. during the service we will hear prayers read by the senior chaplain to the metropolitan police service. there will be a tribute to pc palmer read by chief inspector neil sawyer who has worked with him over a number of years and the service will end with the last post. daniela relph at southwark cathedral, thank you. and we'll have more on this story later in the programme. foreign ministers from the g7 group of leading economic nations are meeting in italy o

i am so stupid sometimes about these things, i agree with amber rudd when she made... when she attacked some of these internet giants. and then i had all this really intelligent young people saying, that was stupid because actually, practically, it cannot be done. ijust want to educate myself about what exactly google can do. i would say, in the same way that a newspaper would not print many stories, and believe me... you know this yourself, so much does not get into the newspapers now. . . much does not get into the newspapers now... masses of information. clearly, there must be some kind of algorithm, i think is the word, where they can... better than a hashtag. where they can find this stuff when it comes up. another interesting aspect to the story, this idea that people are effectively, have turned this kind of thing into a full—time business, because you get some very small financial comeback from the number of people who look at your video or you choose, potentially, this guy has given up hisjob and is making fa ke has given up hisjob and is making fake news â€

the service itself, the congregation inside the cathedral include the home secretary, amber rudd, the mayor of london, sadiq khan, and the mp who fought so hard to save the life of keith palmer. the service itself is being led by the dean of southwark, prayers have been read by the seniors chaplain to the metropolitan police service, who has been working closely with keith palmer's family. 0n has been working closely with keith palmer's family. on a more personal level, there was a tribute read by a man who had worked with keith palmer over a number of years. also taking pa rt over a number of years. also taking part in the service, the new commissioner of the metropolitan police. today is herfirst commissioner of the metropolitan police. today is her first day at work in her newjob, and what she has had to do is come here to southwark cathedral and take part in this service to a fallen colleague. she has read a poem, the poll funeral blues by wh auden, and we have heard a passage from the gospel of stjohn bread, talking about playing down one's life for one's friends. later there wil

joining them, various dignitaries, including amber rudd, sadiq khan and tobias ellwood, the mp who fought so ha rd to tobias ellwood, the mp who fought so hard to save the life of keith palmer in those minutes after the attack. in terms of the service here, it was, as it had to be, a mix of pomp and ceremony alongside an intimate, private family funeral service. there were personal tributes delivered by neal sawyer, who had worked with him over a number of years. there was a poem read by cressida dick, the new commissioner of the metropolitan police, who started work today. she was here for this funeral service. there was also the sermon delivered by the dean of suffolk, and we now know that in that sermon he said, keith lay down his life for each one of us here. the service ended with the last post and a playing the national anthem. foreign ministers from the g7 group of leading economic nations are meeting in italy over the next two days as international tension mounts over the conflict in syria. the us secretary of state rex tillerson is leading calls for russia's president vladimir pu

i think we will see a lot of a talented range of ministers, amber rudd, the home secretary, patrick mcloughlin, the party chairman. you we re mcloughlin, the party chairman. you were one of the chief architects of brexit, you will not be brought into the fold? i am a backbencher now. i will be fighting my constituency and i will be there on the stump helping colleagues in some of the seats that we hope to win. sol colleagues in some of the seats that we hope to win. so i am a fit soldier. i will do what i can to help in any capacity, but i suspect that the real stars of this election campaign will be people like amber red, patrick mcloughlin, pateland michael fallon. you have just confirms you are going to run again. what about george osborne, i think you will. even though he has taken up you will. even though he has taken up thejob you will. even though he has taken up the job at the evening standard? absolutely. i think george is a great asset to public light. i hope he stays in parliament and i think you will. he will be able to campaign as well as run a newspaper you can keep up to date wi

cabinet ministers arriving all—star borisjohnson arrived, amber rudd, michael fallon all arriving. that is probably the first election strategy meeting. they are already working out how they fight this general election. i can tell you, the issue is going to be brexit. it is hard to see any other issues, and there are lots of other important issues like nhs, social care, the state of the economy, they are all important, but it is hard to see any of them breaking through the issue of brexit, partly because theresa may is pitching the election as that, but it is also the big generational question of times. it is colossal. it intrudes into every area of politics. it is going to be the brexit election and that is the big gamble. will the remainers decide they haven't got anywhere to go? jeremy corbyn has not put up much of a fight against brexit. the liberal democrats aren't in a position to do much about it. therefore, that remain electorate doesn't have anywhere to go. 0r, remain electorate doesn't have anywhere to go. or, in the course of the election, might they consistently vote fo

the home secretary amber rudd will be representing the prime minister who is abroad at the moment in saudi arabia. also the acting commissioner of the metropolitan police force, craig mackey. and as we saw earlier, the mayor of london city can will also be attending. —— sadiq khan. the london mayor, sadiq khan, we‘ll see some words during this service. among those being introduced is the high sheriff of greater london, the lord lieutenant of greater london, the representative of the lord mayor of london. and also being introduced is lord fowler, the lord speaker. today‘s service is being written by the reverend christopher stoltz. it will last about a5 minutes from the beginning to the end. in that, john hall will be setting out why the servers with being hall —— being held and who is being remembered. those four people who were killed in the attack. and 50 people injured who are still being treated for their injuries in hospitals around london. they will be two well—known hymns. the duke and justice of cambridge, the royal highness prince henry of wales, they have been

amber rudd talked about more compromise with the eu as a result of a larger majority, is that what this is about? i think it gives the prime ministers space to make long—term decisions in the benefit of the whole country. i think it also means it's not having one or two small caucuses, however organised they are in the house of commons, being able to derail the process, because the majority every latitude to be able to be strong in those negotiations, to sit across from 27 other countries, to fight britain's corner, to give her the strength she needs. otherwise it'sjeremy corbyn who will be sitting there and i wouldn't trust him to run a bath. there is quite a big debate going on about certain tory policies, such as the commitment of 0.7% to aid. does that need to be guaranteed? can you go out and sell any change to
