hello. this is bbc news. let's return to the race to become the conservative leader and, ultimately, the prime minister. this evening, dominic raab has become the sixth candidate to publicly confirm they are standing — alongside borisjohnson, rory stewart, esther mcvey, jeremy hunt and matt hancock. before the news that mr raab was standing, i spoke to sebastian payne, whitehall correspondent at the ft, and the journalist anne mcelvoy , and started by asking anne what she made of the race so far. i think it's very obvious that this contest is really at the moment all about boris johnson's leadership, or attempts to become leader.

and all of the others are basically trying to trim their campaigns around what they think boris johnson's leadership campaign is going to look like, not least matt hancock and rory stewart there, coming out as the younger modernisers. but already, differences between them. would they serve in the event of no—deal or would they not? and what do you make of that, seb, how do you read the environment so far? i agree with what anne said, borisjohnson is the clear frontrunner in this contest. he's got so much of the media appetite so far. obviously, boris always manages to do that. but those comments he made yesterday, just hours after theresa may announced she was going to resign, saying that we will leave the eu, deal or no deal, on october the 315t have really set the whole tone for how this debate is going to be seen.

and i think there is a danger, in a way, it becomes a eurosceptic arms race, with lots of mps trying to out—brexit each other because they're not trying to appeal to the country, they're only trying to appeal to a, the conservative mps in parliament, but crucially, b, those 100,000 members of the conservative party. and we know from various surveys that they want a hard brexit. according to the conservative home website, 75% of conservative party members would be happy with the no—deal. so what boris said yesterday might have alarmed the likes of rory but it will play very well with the very people he needs to win over. i am interested to get your views on the timing of people announcing their declarations. boris has very much come out as the favourite, in front, is it dangerous to have that much focus on you so early on in the unofficial race? yes, you're right,

history would suggest that frontrunners have a tough time, they're often torn down. we look back to the david cameron contest, to michael heseltine before he was deified as the arch remainer, had a tough time and never got through against margaret thatcher or beyond. but this is different. the reason this is taking place, and we've all seen those pictures in the media today and yesterday of theresa may leaving in tears because she failed to deliver a brexit that she promised that she could deliver. so, this is all about who can do that. now, of course, many people don't think that it should happen at all and have other plans, but they are not going to be driving this race. and what we've seen from boris, it's interesting people keep saying that he has talked about no—deal and sebastien is right, he has. but read the rest of the sentence —

probably something some journalists don't do enough these days. he says, if you want to get a deal, the only way you'll get a better deal is by being prepared to take a no—deal. and that, i think, tells you he is riding two horses and i'm sure people like matt hancock — very shrewd and probably not going to win, but coming in, that generation around a0, and clearly a remainer as well — but he is making noises that it has to be delivered, brexit, but they have to be a party that is modern and can face this country the way it is and which can beatjeremy corbyn. so i think we're boiling things down too much to very basic ingredients, and i think we'll see more new nuance in the next few weeks. a british man has died on mount everest, bringing the death toll to ten this season, on the world's highest peak. robin haynes fisher reportedly fell ill while descending from the summit.

there have been reports of overcrowding and climbers have been queuing near the peak. earlier, i spoke to rebecca stephens, who became the first woman to climb everest nearly 25 years ago. the crowding, it's difficult to imagine on that summit ridge, which is very narrow, how you can have people moving in two directions. and, you know, it must be that they pass each other but, i tell you, it is extremely narrow and i woould have thought dangerous just in that manoeuvre. but the worrying thing is sort of twofold really. 0ne, as slow as you are climbing everest, you do want to be able to keep moving if you possibly can. you know, just standing still because there are people in front of you means that you can get cold incredibly fast, and that in itself is a problem. but then the other thing, if you make a decision and want to move down and you physically can't do that because of people, that does create a very dangerous situation. talk us through some of the emotions that you go through as a climber. because the physical strain on the body must be incredible.

yeah, i think that's right, but i think... i've always thought the biggest fear really is that of summit fever and i'd probably say that i was inflicted with that myself where, you know, the emotional drive is strong that you can lose any sense of rationality and failed to turn around when you should. you know, the magnetism is so great that you want to keep going. and you know, i'm pretty sure i was in that emotional bubble, but we were fortunate enough that we had plenty of time, so i wasn't really pushed to the question whether i would have kept going longer than i should have done. but it remains a dangerous place. it always will be. it's extreme altitude, there's not very much oxygen in the air and, you know, we're not meant to be there. most of us can only get there with bottled oxygen and you don't take more than you need because it's too heavy to carry. so, if you run out of that and you find yourself on a very, very high mountain, you know, with temperatures plummeting at nightfall and your body's not strong enough to resist the cold, then the chances of survival are very, very small indeed. yeah, i was just going to ask you,

in terms of training and from a climber‘s perspective, what is the worst—case scenario and how do you prepare yourself for that? well, i think you could probably think of a few, but the most common one is that, is the top sort of 3,000 feet or 1,000 metres of the mountain. they now call it the death zone, which might sound very dramatic, but it is true that people die there simply because they're too high. the other dangerous area on the southern side is of course the icefall that's just been made reference to, where it's a very unstable area of ice, where the icefall, sections of it can collapse at any time. and statistically — if i can be sort of mathematical to talk about that — didn't used to be regarded as so dangerous, just rather frightening to travel through, but that's been proven wrong in recent years, when a number of people have been killed in the icefall. do you think that today's climbers are adequately experienced to take on everest, or do they underestimate the dangers? i think it's very easy to do

so and i think i was probably guilty of doing that myself as well. i mean, the problem really is this — going through somewhere like the icefall is extremely frightening and you're very aware of that. high on the mountain, that sort of adrenal fight—or—flight reaction isn't necessarily triggered because the slopes don't look particularly steep, it doesn't look particularly dangerous. you can't see the lack of oxygen in the air. and also, you're not really functioning 100% because of the lack of oxygen. so, it's easy to make bad decisions at extreme altitude, for sure. that was rebecca stephens, the first woman to climb everest, 35 years ago. exit polls in ireland suggest voters have overwhelmingly backed easing the republic's divorce laws. the irish government has suggested that it will change legislation to shorten the time spouses have to have been living apart, before they can apply for a divorce. divorces granted abroad will also be recognised. earlier, i asked our correspondent louise cullen about the significance

of today's vote. well, if you consider, lukwesa, that divorce only became legal in the republic of ireland just over 20 years ago, and that referendum in 1985 passed with a tiny margin, just 50.3%. here we are some 23, 2a years later, and now we're looking at the figures you've just quoted, more than 80% supporting these changes to the timeframe required for couples to have lived apart. it's a massive amount of change and social upheaval really. the voters were asked to vote not just on the timeframe, but it was a single question, but two changes — a change to the timeframe for divorce, but also changes to the rules recognising foreign divorces, to make that more consistent in the constitution and to make life easier for people in this situation. the republic has gone through quite a number

of socially liberalising votes. why do you think that is? well, it seems to have been really a period of very rapid transition, from a country that was largely dominated by the catholic church to a country which is very much loosening those ties and making an emphatic statement about the loosening of those ties by changing those laws on various social issues. there are few, if any, developed nations, i would argue, that have actually made these changes at such a pace. but this is a nation that is emerging from, as i say, domination by the church and, tonight, we'll expect a result from this latest referendum. the only question will be byjust how much of a margin it will passed. it's time for a look at the weather, with alina jenkins. some of us have started the bank holiday weekend with some sunshine. a fair bit around the south and south east england. this was on the isle of wight earlier. for others, a different story

with a lot of cloud around, and outbreaks of rain for northern ireland, northern england and scotland. and it remains a mixed picture for the rest of the bank holiday weekend. turning cooler, the winds strengthening, and most of us will see some rain at times. it comes courtesy of this frontal system moving in from the atlantic which lingers across much of northern scotland through the bank holiday weekend. it's here across scotland that we will see the lion's share of the rain overnight, heavier further west. mainly dry for 0rkney and shetland. the rain eases from northern england, so much of england and wales is dry with clear skies and mist and fog developing. later in the night, rain arriving into northern ireland, western parts of england and wales. it's not a cold night and most stay in double figures. this rain continues eastwards tomorrow, heaviest across scotland, becoming lighter and patchier across east anglia and south east england. behind it, some spells of sunshine developing, but the rain likely to continue across northern scotland. the winds will strengthen as well, quite gusty for the western isles, so despite some afternoon sunshine, for many, it will feel

a bit cooler tomorrow. 15—19 for most, 8—9 for northern scotland under the cloud and rain. we keep the rain into bank holiday monday. elsewhere, some spells of sunshine. also sharp showers across northern ireland, southern scotland, north west england, parts of wales and south—west england. fewer showers and more sunshine further south and east, but no—one is immune from showers on bank holiday monday, and temperatures 1a—19 typically. into tuesday, we still have this brisk north or north—westerly wind so a cool feel on tuesday. fewer showers around compared to bank holiday monday, some spells of sunshine, cloud building through the day and watch out for one or two showers, but many escape with a mainly dry day, particularly across northern scotland, just nine or 10 celsius, elsewhere 16 or 17.

this cool and unsettled on wednesday and thursday, a mixture of sunshine and showers. goodbye. hello.
