PRESSURE GROWS ON THERESA MAY

Speculation continues to swirl around the leadership of British Prime Minister Theresa May.

It follows a speech to her Conservative Party conference which was interrupted by a prankster, then several coughing fits, and also saw bits of the stage falling apart.

Downing Street says her resignation is not an issue being considered and a series of senior Conservatives have rallied in support of her.

However, after a disappointing election result in June - some Conservative MPs are reportedly discussing whether to try and unseat her as leader.

Former Conservative minister David Mellor believes she's not up to the job.

Vegas investigators not ruling anything out [CLIPS]

Investigators in Las Vegas say the gunman who carried the deadliest
mass shooting in modern U.S. history was living a secret life that is

A motive has not been found for why Stephen Paddock opened fire on a
