stay where you are. a court is shown the arrest of a security guard accused of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder holly willoughby. and what no wellies at worthy farm? and coming up on bbc news, anthony gordon says if england want to stop the negativity they need to perform and give people what they want to see. good evening. rishi sunak has condemned the use of a racist term against him by a reform uk campaigner. mr sunak, who is of indian origin, repeated the words deliberately, saying he had to call out clearly language which made him hurt and angry. he also said the party's leader, nigel farage,

had questions to answer. the comments were secretly filmed and broadcast by channel 4 while activists were campaigning for reform uk in clacton, where mr farage is standing. nigel farage claimed the racist comments were a "set—up". our political correspondentjoe pike is in westminster. nigel farage�*s sur #3r50iz entry into this election reenergised reform and gave them a poll boost as well, but his controversial comments about russia and ukraine plus this drip, drip of allegations concerning first candidates, and now campaigners has left some of those around mr farage feeling nervous. a warning my report contains offensive language. please welcome nigel farage. applause. he's attempting a fightback after yet more accusations of racism within reform. this whole thing is

a complete and total setup. but this time it's not nigel farage�*s candidates, but his campaigners. one, seeing a pride flag on a police car, compared gay people to paedophiles. you see that bleep degenerate flag on the front bonnet? _ what are the old bill doing promoting that crap? - they should be out catching nonces, not promoting the bleep. _ another suggested the army should shoot illegal immigrants with. with guns on the bleep beach. target practice bleep to show them. and he used a racist slur to describe rishi sunak. the bleep we've got in, what good is he? you tell me. you know, he'sjust wet. andrew parker said he'd not told nigel farage about his views, and apologised if he'd brought reform into disrepute. when my two daughters have to see and hear reform people who campaign for nigel farage calling me an effing bleep, it hurts and it makes me angry. and i think he has some questions to answer. and i don't repeat those words lightly.

you know, i do so deliberately because this is too important not to call out clearly for what it is. after he left loose women, we caught up with the reform leader. hi, nigel. how are you doing? why do racists seem to be attracted to your party? all political parties do. one of the problems, of course, is that i single—handedly destroyed the bnp. so you're going to find some people who don't have a home to go to, who come to us. and do you know something? when we find out who they are, we simply get rid of them. and mr farage seemed keen to focus on one of the campaigners, who he claims was acting. from the moment he arrived in the office at clacton last saturday, and he bowled up and spoke to me, he was rough speaking. you think he was faking it? he was acting from the moment he came into the office. i100% believe this whole thing is a total setup. andrew parker has not returned our calls. he has done some acting in the past, but we found no

evidence he was acting in the covert recording. channel 4 news have said... whatever nigel farage and his team claim about a setup, they know the revelations of the past 2a hours have the potential to distract from and even damage their campaign at precisely the moment when many floating voters are finally making up their minds. he's just got too much to say, and a lot of it isjust nonsense, i think. i was very impressed. would you vote for him? maybe. nigel farage�*s next attempt at persuading voters is tonight's

question time leaders' special. joe pike, bbc news, west london. and you can see a full list of the candidates standing in the clacton constituency on your screen now. and here's fiona with details of that question time special. the leaders of the four main parties got the question time treatment last week. this week it's the turn of the co—leader of the greens, adrian ramsay, and reform uk's nigel farage, whose party has been a bit in the news today you might have noticed. it is time to test them both with our audience of voters here in birmingham. we are live on bbc one at 8.00. in the us, there is deep disquiet in democrat circles after a stumbling performance byjoe biden in the first televised presidential debate with donald trump. it was a bad—tempered meeting, during which mr trump attacked the president on the economy and foreign policy, and mr biden took aim at his rival�*s criminal conviction. but it wasjoe biden�*s meandering and at times confusing speech that alarmed supporters. here's our north america

and questioned him on why he discussed where the television presenter lived, her security measures and how he could break into her home. the jury also saw gavin plumb at the police station, after his arrest. he has previous convictions for attempted kidnapping and false improvement. today he said they were crimes carried out to try to escape a toxic relationship. he denies all allegations relating to holly willoughby. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. the time is 18.17. our top story this evening. the prime minister, out campaigning today, has demanded an explanation from nigel farage after a reform uk canvasser used a racist slur against him. coming up. a former fujitsu engineer denies "hiding" problems with the horizon it system during the post office inquiry. coming up on bbc news, the draw for the first round at wimbledon which starts on monday has been made. we'll bring you the details of some of the key ties. coming up on bbc news, the draw for the first round at wimbledon which starts

"the defendant was found guilty of theft, and horizon was given a clean built of health." you knew that your role was to help get that clean bill of health, wasn't it? my role was to tell the truth. the woman was sent to jail, mrjenkins. never mind that. i'm sorry for what happened to mrs misra. i clearly got trapped into doing things that i shouldn't have done, but that was not intentional on my behalf, my part. thank you, sir, those are my questions. thank you very much, miss page. garethjenkins blames the post office for what happened to seema misra, but he leaves this inquiry still under investigation for perjury and perverting the course ofjustice. emma simpson, bbc news, at the post office inquiry. now a look at some other stories making the news

cheering. glastonbury. a place where something out of this world is often just around the corner. where, for a few days injune, a working farm transforms into one nonstop party. a festival for adventures, with its own pier and synchronised swimmers. and where revellers get to forget the world's woes. there are so many amazing acts that you don't even realise exist. the possibilities are endless. is there anybody you're particularly looking forward to seeing? shania twain. shania. they sing. let's go, girl! on the main stages, the first full day of music. mercury and brit nominated olivia dean was on the pyramid stage this afternoon as it builds towards tonight's headliner, dua lipa. across on the other stage, rapper headie one showcased drill music for the crowds.

i feel like glastonbury is, like, iconic, so to be a part of it is just a great feeling. and bringing drill music to a main stage. i feel like my music feels very real, so to bring that kind of genre to the stage and also to spread it out to other genres, it feels like a good display of creativity of music in general, and that's what my aim is to do when i'm making music. cheering. there are always firsts at this festival, and this year they've opened scissors, the first lesbian area. # we are family...# described as a femme queer wonderland. glastonbury is like so queer in its nature, i think. it's all about expression and colour and being yourself and kind of... yeah, being who you want to be. glastonbury has also had seventeen, the first k—pop band on its bill. the party here at worthy farm is onlyjust beginning. katie razzall, bbc news, somerset.

fine weather there at worthy farm. what about elsewhere? here's sarah keith—lucas it has been very pleasant for many of us, this is the picture in conway in north wales. some morning showers fading away to leave a little bit more sunshine during the afternoon, and through the course of the weekend, we have some more to come. some spells of sunshine and most of us fairly dry and settled, but there are one or two showers through the course of the weekend. back to the here and now, a few showers to end the day scattered across parts of northern england and scotland, largely fading away and most of us through the night will see clear spells. more cloud moves in from the west, and a few spots of light rain early saturday. in the more rural spots, temperatures will be a touch lower than this, so looking at a roundabout 7—12 in towns and cities, but a fresh start to saturday

morning for many of us. through the day, low—pressure clearing away from the north of scotland, but then we have this frontal system moving in from the west, and that will be quite slow moving, so it will spill more cloud and across parts of wales and the south—west. to the north of that, more sunshine across northern ireland in southern scotland that we have seen today. still a few showers, quite blustery, but down towards the south—east and east anglia, it will be relatively warm, so temperatures getting up to about 25 degrees or so. typically looking at temperatures between 12 and 19, so a touch lower than we expect for the time of year. moving through, overnight saturday and into sunday, again a lot of dry weather, and have again a lot of dry weather, and have a look at this area of cloud as it moves south, could be a passing shower perhaps, not enough to bring muddy conditions, though. we start the day on sunday with one or two showers and a bit of cloud across central and southern england. clear spells to the north again, temperatures down into single figures for some of us, so again a

little bit cool first thing sunday. a fair amount of settled weather as we see cloud drifting south, showers across parts of the south—east should clear away quickly, returning to some sunshine, but generally a little cooler than saturday, so temperatures between 12 and 21 north to south. next week, things are up and down for the course of the week. we will see a westerly flow that will bring low pressure at times, so yes, a few showers mainly in the north and north—west, temperatures next week not quite as warm as they have been this week, reeta. thanks sarah. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm tanya arnold. anthony gordon says there's a simple way to get rid of the negativity around the england team.
