this is bbc news. i'm julian worricker. the headlines at 7pm: borisjohnson and michael gove — who campaigned for brexit together, but fell out three years ago when both wanted to become prime minister — will again contest the conservative party leadership. i will be putting my name forward to be prime minister of this country. i believe that i'm ready to unite the conservative and unionist party, ready to deliver brexit and ready to lead this great country. final voting in the eu elections in underway in 21 member states. results will be released after polls close at 10pm tonight. after the bbc reveals evidence of abuse at a care home for people with disabilities, a former care quality commission inspector says he raised serious concerns about whorlton hall hospital more than three years ago.

a man and a woman are charged with murder after two children died following an incident at a house in sheffield on friday. a ringside seat at the wrestling for president trump, on an official visit to japan. and coming up on sportsday at 7.30pm, lewis hamilton dedicates his grand prix victory in monaco today to the late niki lauda. hello, good evening. the environment secretary, michael gove, hasjoined the race to become the next conservative leader and prime minister. it means he'll be

challenging borisjohnson. the two men fell out, after helping lead the campaign to leave the european union in 2016. today, the former brexit secretary, dominic raab — who's also in the running to replace theresa may — insisted the uk must leave the eu in october, with or without a deal. and andrea leadsom, who resigned from cabinet last week, has also confirmed she's standing. eight mps have now confirmed they will stand, with the party hoping to have a new prime minister in place by the end ofjuly. our chief political correspondent, vicki young, reports from westminster. stepping forward for another crack at the top job. today, michael govejoined a growing list of hopefuls. hi, good morning. good morning. i can confirm that i will be putting my name forward to be prime minister of this country. i believe that i'm ready to unite the conservative and unionist party, ready to deliver brexit and ready to lead this great country. that means mr gove will clash again with borisjohnson, the man he sat alongside as they campaigned for brexit,

but who he fell out with in spectacular style when the tory party were looking for a new leader three years ago. for all boris‘s formidable talents, he was not the right person for that task. that dramatic intervention torpedoed mrjohnson‘s campaign. these days, there are plenty of new pro—brexit faces making their pitch to be prime minister. dominic raab insists he won't delay the uk's eu departure again, promising to leave with or without a deal on october 31. i will not ask for an extension. of course, if parliament legislates, then we will be in a difficult position. but as the institute for government set out today, it's a very difficult for parliament now to legislate against no—deal, or in favour of a further extension, unless the executive, unless a resolute prime minister is willing to acquiesce on that. and i would not. other candidates agree that no—deal must be an option. of course, in order to succeed in a negotiation, you have to be

prepared to leave without a deal. but i have a three—point plan for brexit, for how we get out of the european union. i'm very optimistic about it. my role as leader of the commons means i have had a very good insight into what needs to be done. esther mcvey goes even further, ruling out any renegotiation with brussels. we won't be asking for any more extensions. that's part of the corrosive uncertainty that individuals, business and the country don't want. so that date is fixed. so of course we have to say we need to make sure that we are ready to leave on that date. now, if the eu wanted to come back to us, the door is open, if they want to have a better deal. that's fine, we've always wanted a free trade agreement. mps, though, have voted overwhelmingly against a no—deal brexit more than once — something would—be leaders should bear in mind, says the chancellor. a prime minister who ignores parliament cannot expect to survive very long. and he refused to rule out voting down a conservative prime minister who pursued a policy of no—deal.

would you vote against your own government on a confidence motion in those circumstances? in 22 years in parliament, i have never voted against the conservative whip, unlike many of my colleagues. and i don't want to have to start now contemplating such a course of action. it's just two days since theresa may announced her resignation date. today, she was at church while candidates vied for herjob — all needing a brexit solution that she failed to find. and vicki joins me now from westminster. the number of candidates goes up and presumably there may be more to come. that's right. i dig we are at eight at the last count, and people are expecting maybe 16. under the process which will unfold, in the next few weeks, conservative mps have to whittle that number down to just two and then that goes to the conservative party members in a ballots. in the end, they will get a choice of two. it does mean that

conservatives are trying to appeal to their grassroots members rather than broader conservative voters, or the country as a whole. inevitably, that means we are going to get into a bit ofa that means we are going to get into a bit of a fight, i think, about who is the brexit of them all. many candidates saying they would renegotiate the deal, even though there isn't much time to do that, in there isn't much time to do that, in the you have said no to that, or they would contemplate leaving at they would contemplate leaving at the end of october without the deal at all. there are some, including philip hammond as we heard there, saying that is completely unrealistic. the grassroots have no problem with a new deal brexit. this group, parliaments, does. absolutely intriguing to hear the chancellor there, very much on the remain side of the arguments, backing theresa may's to but has big reservations

about a no—deal brexit. him not ruling out he would contemplate voting against a conservative prime minister who was hell—bent on taking the country doing no—deal brexit to. does that mean you think over the coming weeks, we will kill a great deal about wider conservative thinking in the selection —— we will not hear a great deal? given brexit has not happened in theresa may has spent three years trying to resolve its it's going to be very difficult with that deadline looming at the end of october to move on to other issues, even though others have tried. we have heard from jeremy hunt slashing operation tax to match that of ireland, to 12.5%, others like dominic raab. .. that of ireland, to 12.5%, others like dominic raab... difficult to get beyond that brexit debate, not least of course because conservative party members feel very strongly about it. there's a lot of people saying that these candidates have to be honest with the electorate about what it is they can do, and the fact

that actually, a tory prime minister coming in at the end ofjuly and suggesting they would renegotiate that withdrawal agreement, the timing for that looks incredible tight given that the european commission goes on for the whole of august for some they are having a big change as well. it seems very unlikely, even if there was the will in brussels, it could be done by the end of october. many things for that. vicki young in westminster —— many thanks for that. voters in 21 european union countries are voting today to select new meps. seven countries — including the uk — have already voted, but the results will only be revealed once polls have closed across the eu. here's our europe correspondent, damian grammaticas. the uk was in the first wave of countries to vote in these eu elections, and the uk results, out this evening, will be watched for how far the handling of brexit may have impacted the share of votes won by the conservatives and labour, and how people are divided between pro and anti—brexit parties.

across europe, half a dozen more nations — this is latvia — have also already voted. today, ballots are being cast in 21 more eu member states. in some countries, it is migration that is the top concern. elsewhere, the numbers of young people unemployed. here in northern france, it's a contest between president macron's pro—eu movement and the anti—eu nationalists of the former national front that's being watched. translation: i'm going to vote - it's my duty as a citizen — but i don't know who for yet. translation: this vote will be an important pointer for future elections. it will give an idea who might come out on top. the official eu results will be released when polls close this evening. damian grammaticas, bbc news, brussels. and damian will bejoining us live

a little later in the hour. and you can follow the results of the european elections with huw edwards and the team, from 10pm tonight on bbc one and the bbc news channel, and all the results will on our website as well. a former inspector at the care quality commission says a report into whorlton hall hospital, carried out nearly four years before bbc panorama revealed alleged abuse of patients with learning disabilities and autism, raised concerns about the unit, but was not published. ten care workers have been arrested in a police investigation. our social affairs correspondent alison holt reports. whorlton hall hospital in county durham now stands empty following the allegations in the panorama programme that some staff were bullying and intimidating patients with learning disabilities or autism. the current owners, who took over injanuary, have moved all patients elsewhere.

the undercover reporter found a disturbing culture in this privately—run, nhs—funded hospital. when i looked at the notification, it raised a number of concerns... in 2015, barry stanley wilkinson raised an inspection of the hospitalfor the regulator, the care quality commission. he says it raised concerns about the culture then. in nearly a decade of working for the coc, he wrote scores of inspection reports. he says this was the only one which was not published. what was evident was a very poor culture, and that was firmly written within that august 2015 report, and i strongly believe that anybody that can understand organisational culture reading that report would agree that there was definitely warning bells there. what was your reaction when you saw the programme? i was extremely upset. because...

this should have been listened to back in 2015. in a statement, the coc says... they continue... the regulator says a new comprehensive inspection carried out later rated whorlton hall as good overall. the cqc says it's commissioning a review into what they need to learn from what's happened. alison holt, bbc news. a man and a woman have been charged with murder after two children died in an incident at a house in the shiregreen area of sheffield on friday. our correspondent phil bodmer is in sheffield. well, police and paramedics

were called to a semidetached property some six miles from the city centre of sheffield on friday morning at around 7.30am. neighbours reported seeing intense police activity on the street. six children were taken to hospital, but police later said two teenage boys — aged 13 and 1a — had died. now, a 37—year—old man and a 34—year—old woman were arrested on suspicion of murder. as investigations continue into the circumstances of what happened, people have been continuing to lay flowers and balloons outside the property. now, yesterday afternoon, south yorkshire police said that the four children taken to hospital have subsequently been released. now, today, south yorkshire police said that two people arrested on friday, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have now been charged with two counts of murder each. the woman also faces three counts of attempted murder. they will appear before sheffield magistrates‘ court tomorrow morning.

phil bodmer in sheffield. fire safety experts warn many of the 1,700 buildings identified as "at risk" in england are likely to fail new tests into cladding and building materials. it comes almost two years after 72 people died in the grenfell tower fire. bbc 5live investigates has learnt that hospitals, schools, nursing homes and tower blocks are among buildings which could be under threat. the government said it will monitor the test results this summer to decide if any immediate action needs to be taken. a 17—year—old boy has become the fourth person to be charged with the murder ofjodie chesney. jodie, who was 17, was stabbed to death in a park in east london in march. investigators say the fourth person to be arrested has been charged with murder and with possession of a stun gun. government sources say there've been

expressions of interest in buying british steel, which was placed in compulsory liquidation earlier this week, but they have dismissed reports that it has set a two—week deadline for a buyer to be found. earlier, my colleague shaun ley spoke to our business correspondent, katy austin, who said the only other option apart from somebody buying the company is for the government to nationalise it. the insolvency of the company means 5,000 jobs are directly put at risk. and 3,000 of those are at scunthorpe, where there's that huge steelworks. otherjobs are also at risk in locations such as teesside and 20,000 others, potentially, in the supply chain. so there is a lot at stake here. british steel is still trading, though, while urgent efforts go on behind the scenes to try and find a buyer. and we do understand there has been a serious interest both domestically and from foreign quarters. so, perhaps uk firms and some international firms might be interested in buying it. the sunday telegraph today did report that ministers are only prepared for the government to continue supporting british steel for two more weeks — and after that, the plug would be pulled. government sources have confirmed to us that they do not

recognise that timetable. they're saying that two weeks' time doesn't have to be the end at all. meanwhile, there's a lot of people nervously watching and waiting to see if somebody does comes forward. the difficulty is, as we talked about in the course of the week when this story was developing, that steel is in long—term decline, in terms of the uk's share of the market. huge competition from china. i heard simon saying a few days ago that more steel had been produced in china in a year than the whole of britain had produced in its whole lifetime. and the problem of competitiveness is the real difficulty, presumably, for the industry here. that's right. the uk steel industry faces huge challenges, and it has done for years. it's only back in 2016 when british steel, which wasn't what it was called then, nearly went under then. it took a private equity firm coming in and buying it for £1 to keep it going. you could argue that the industry is very much struggling anyway. and it will definitely require a buyer to have very deep pockets

to keep this business going. british steel is not the only steel producer in the uk, but it is incredibly significant. it has been a pillar of the country's industry for decades. but as you say, it is much, much reduced in its size and in the number of people it employs. that doesn't mean it's not important, though. if nothing else, it's hugely symbolically important. nobody wants to see it go under. the only other option, apart from somebody buying the business, would be the government nationalising it. it certainly hasn't said that's on the cards at the moment. katy austin. time for the headlines 110w katy austin. time for the headlines now here on bbc news. borisjohnson and michael gove — the two figureheads of the official leave campaign — challenge each other for the conservative party leadership. polling in the eu elections ends tonight — 21 member states are voting today. results will be released after polls close at 10pm. after the bbc reveals evidence of abuse at a care home

for people with disabilities, a former inspector says concerns were raised more than three years ago. on a visit tojapan, donald trump has dismissed concerns over recent missile tests by north korea. in a tweet, he referred to them as "small weapons". meanwhile, as part of the lavish welcome laid on for the us president, he attended the final of a sumo wrestling tournament. here's our tokyo correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes. it is a little different from the sort of wrestling mr trump is used to seeing back in the united states. sumo is japan's national sport, and it is steeped in tradition. one is that spectators are supposed to sit on cushions on the floor, and not on armchairs. but tradition was set aside today, as, for the first time ever, a foreign leader was allowed onto the hallowed earth of the sumo ring and present the champion with a special cup. president trump is getting a lot

of firsts during this trip — first to meet the new japanese emperor, first to sit on a chair during a sumo tournament and to present a special prize to the grand champion. it is, of course, not without reason. japan is nervous that mr trump is not quite as committed to his asian ally as some of his predecessors. it is particularly worried by mr trump's friendship with north korean dictator kim jong—un. earlier this month, north korea testfired a new short—range missile into the sea of japan, flouting un sanctions. today, president trump dismissed the test, tweeting. .. still, tonight, mr trump and his japanese host were all smiles as they were joined for dinner by their wives. tomorrow is really the main event, a very important event

in the history ofjapan. that main event is meeting japan's newly—enthroned emperor naruhito. mr trump will be the first world leader to do so, something he appears extremely happy about. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. a powerful magnitude 8.0 earthquake has hit a remote part of the amazonjungle in peru — the most powerful to hit the country in 12 years. the quake struck in the early hours of sunday morning, collapsing buildings and knocking out power in some areas. tremors were felt hundreds of miles away in the capital lima, where people ran out of their homes in fear. some injuries — but no deaths — have been reported. a british man has died following a collision between two yachts near cannes. the 29—year—old, who was a crew member on board the minx vessel, is reported to have suffered a heart attack. the incident happened as another yacht tried to manoeuvre past the minx. police are investigating the incident, which happened on the last night of the film festival.

let's return to the european elections. results will start coming in from 10pm this evening. our europe correspondent damian grammaticas joins me now with the latest — live from brussels. windows results do start to appear, what should people look out for? the first think you will look out for is what will happen to this is the european parliament election centre but it's also the place where the new meps will sit, and how that balance fall? that's the really thing between those big centre parties that have dominated here. they have had the whole book of seats into enough also will they drop? will the other parties committee greens and the liberals, surge? will they see a rights? we know that those parties are feeling good on the back of what they are

hearing, in germany, in the netherlands. and also, crucially, will be bouncy with the anti—, the sceptic forces, in italy and in france, and from the uk, the balance between those and take you sceptics and the pro—eu centre? will the insight you group have enough seats to complicate matters here or will there be divisions, as they always have been? quite a lot at stake which will shape the tone of this body, the policies it will push, and the tone of the eagles forward. -- the tone of the eagles forward. -- the tone of the eagles forward. -- the tone of the you going forward. damien, thanks very much indeed. damian grammaticas. a woman has been found alive more than two weeks after she went missing in a forest

on the hawaiian island of maui. amanda eller was rescued by helicopterfrom a deep ravine — she'd been hiking in the area when she became lost and then injured. ramzan karmali reports. the last 17 days of my life have been the toughest days of my life. hiker amanda eller knows how lucky she is to be alive. she spent over two weeks lost in a forest on the hawaiian island of maui. the yoga instructor thought she was heading back to her car — but was instead wandering further and further into the wilderness. it did come down to life and death, and i had to choose. and i chose life. i wasn't going to take the easy way out, even though that meant more suffering and pain for myself. amanda was rescued from a deep ravine. she waved down a rescue helicopter funded by donations. one of her friends was on that rescue helicopter. out of the woodwork, she comes out — arms swinging. i was like, "there she is!" i know amanda very well so i was like, "that's amanda eller!" i was like, "how is she dressed? she is not wearing shoes!

we have to land this thing!" chris was like, "don'tjump out of the helicopter!" in order to survive, she foraged on berries, but she was injured — a fractured leg and severe burns from the sun. doctors say she should make a full recovery. but amanda is most grateful for those who didn't give up on her. i have the most gratitude and respect and appreciation — i can't even put it into words — for the people that have helped me, for the people that have prayed for me. her mother, julia, has called the rescue a miracle. the scottish government have given £75,000 to improve the help for families of missing people, and those who may be at risk. the money will be used to fund a co—ordinator who will work closely with councils to improve how they and other organisations can work together. cameron buttle reports. on a tuesday afternoon in 2008, 80—year—old mary ferns said she was going to the shops. that was the last time her family ever saw her. no words can explain how we, as a family, have been feeling

over the last four weeks. despite media appeals and a police investigation, there has been no sign of her for more than a decade. it's not like a death, where, you know, it's a natural progression in life — you know what's happened to that person, you can then celebrate their life and have a finality. it is torture on a daily basis. it's never away, and you never have that feeling of an ending. mary is one of 55 adults and children who are reported missing every day. new scottish government funding aims to help the families going through the same pain and help with prevention. 99% of people who go missing actually return. and so, actually, the challenge of missing people is what happens at that point. how do we best support somebody who returns from a missing episode? because we know between 40—50% of those people will do it again. mary's husband bill

died four years ago — never knowing what had happened to her. for the rest of the family, they welcome the funding and the help other families will get. but there is still no sign of any closure for them. cameron buttle, bbc news. university tuition fees in england could go down to £7,500. that's expected to be one of the main recommendations of a review to be published later this week. but universities say any drop in fees would have to be replaced by direct funding, to avoid student experience suffering. and as our education editor bra nwen jeffreys reports, the review is also expected to suggest ways in which technical and vocational routes could be made more attractive to students through better support. lewis is in his second year at salford uni, studying for a degree after working in construction. he thinks it's worth it, but says others are put off — by living costs as well as tuition fees.

i've got a few friends who've got the qualification to come onto a first year of the construction course, but it's the fee that is ultimately stopping them, and how are they going to be able to live? and it is so, so important... students only pay back when earning as graduates, but political concern it feels too expensive is behind this review. universities fear a cut in tuition fee for students won't be replaced by the government. if you want your graduates to go out there, be able to operate the leading technology in the workspace, it's no good giving them training on a computer that's six years old, or a piece of equipment that's six years old. you're changing your capital requirements, and the speed of turnover is much quicker now. but this isn't just about degrees. the cost of going to university has been one of the big political debates of recent years.

but this review has always been focused on another problem — why is it we spend so much supporting people who study for a degree, and so little on people studying for the technical and vocational qualifications that employers are crying out for? tierney is studying engineering at harlow college. unlike a uni student, she can't get a loan for living costs to continue here — something this review might seek to change, with better support for learning throughout life. extending our loans would be a step in the right direction. i think the right thing is that we have a coherently funded education system that enables people to do that throughout their life. universities and colleges want clear decisions after this review. but with politics in turmoil, there's no guarantee. branwen jeffreys, bbc news.

if you're looking for a new way to relieve stress and tension in your life, you might think about taking up yoga. but forget the downward dog — in france, classes with cats are proving popular. yoga sessions with cats have become fully booked up in alsace in northeastern france. cats roam around the room during the session, and one teacher says the feline friends bring "happiness" to the classes. as you can see, they look like natural yoga masters. don't they? now it's time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins. hello. part of scotland have seen around 30 mm of rain in the last 2a hours, well over an inch. and it's scotland which holds onto the rain overnight. slowly sinking its way southwards, turning drier for orkney, the northern highlands. that rain could arrive into the far north of england and northern ireland by dawn. elsewhere, dry — some clear

skies before cloud builds across western fringes. and a fresher feeling night, lows typically between nine and 11 celsius. our rain doesn't go too far tomorrow. so, lingering through the central belt, southern scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england. elsewhere, some spells of sunshine, but also some fairly frequent showers blowing through on a brisk west or northwesterly wind. not too many showers, though, getting across to east anglia and southwestern england, but nowhere immune from a shower tomorrow. despite some sunshine, in the breeze, it's going to feel a little bit cooler. temperatures generally between 1a and 17 celsius. just nine or ten, though, for the far north of scotland. plenty of showers around on tuesday, particularly the further east you are. many should escape the showers, though, on wednesday. bye— bye.
