heart of madrid, where fans are gathering for what is the final stage of two incredible journeys. # your never walk alone # when the spurs go matching in meanwhile back at home, both sides in fine voice ahead of the big match, but who will be singing the loudest later? good news for tenants as a ban on letting fees, including credit checks and viewings, comes into effect in england. in the us state of virginia, 12 people have been shot dead after a gunman opened fire in a local government office. and coming up, the travel show looks back at some of its favourite stories from the programme so far this year — that's at 10:30 here on bbc news.

president trump has defied diplomatic norms by intervening in the conservative leadership race, saying that borisjohnson would be an ‘excellent‘ prime minister. in an interview with the sun newspaper, he also said he liked the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt, but he said the environment secretary michael gove had been wrong to criticise his approach to iran. tom newton dunn, the political editor of the sun, conducted that interview, and hejoins me now from our westminster studio. let's hear what he had to say about borisjohnson. i have always liked him, i don't know if you will be chosen, but i think is a very good guy, a talented

person. he has been very positive about me and our country. no, i do like him, again i do not know who is going to get it, it is something that i find very interesting. i don't actually have studied it, i think very hard, i know the players and the different players. i think boris would do a very good job, i think he would be excellent. i like him very much but i haven't gotten to any point where, you know, it is early in the process. where you taken aback? not really. we have known his views on boris johnson for a little while. he is a big fan of borisjohnson, he said as much last year on his first visit. they are slightly kindred spirits, he would be delighted if boris johnson was at downing street and what is opposite number across the

ocean. that said, i suppose it was quite surprising that he would say so quite surprising that he would say so much the him mentally again at this critical stage in the toy leadership contest. mps start voting next week on who their preferred candidate is in the race. it is unprecedented, it does not really come close to describing the two made a speech of protocol. visiting foreign leaders, certainly heads of state which donald trump is, really should not be playing domestic politics. trump does not play by any of the normal rules, so he really does whatever he thinks is right. goes my qubit on to speak to one of the other prospective prime ministers. it is certainly not what it was 20 years ago, certainly not

what it was 50 years ago. today, it matters much less. i could help anyone if i endorse them. we have had endorsements where they have gone up for 40, 50 points. i understand over there it would be a great endorsement. 0ther understand over there it would be a great endorsement. other people have asked me for any dortmund. i have been asked for endorsements. other leadership contenders have asked you for endorsements? i do not want to see who, but other people. jeremy hunt, he has made a big speech recently about increasing defence spending in the uk above considerably above the 2% need to nato... considerably above the 2% need to nato. .. good, considerably above the 2% need to nato... good, i considerably above the 2% need to nato. .. good, i love considerably above the 2% need to nato... good, i love that. would you like to see all the candidates say that? it is a good thing, i think the uk, it is great for the uk. it would be part of trade, we would make the greater military equipment and the world, edward b good for us,

but in particular it would be good for the uk. the uk as a special place, it should be able to defend itself. just make a question and a challenge about a number of nato countries he has made. in terms of what he had to say about jeremy has made. in terms of what he had to say aboutjeremy hunt, polite, but not much more than that. you know, he told us that he knows all the players very well, he has studied the field. i was not entirely sure that was correct. no disrespect intended to the office of the presidency. he knows whojeremy hunt is, but it feels to me that if any other leadership contenders have asked for an endorsement it is possible jeremy hunt might be the one. certainly we put michael gove's comments to him about his reunion policy. michael gove was quite critical last week talking to nick robinson about donald trump's sabre rattling in terms of his military manoeuvres. donald trump did not

like hearing that at all, was quite critical of michael gove, but it also struggling that he really did not know who michael gove was or many of the others. maybe quite a lot of british voters do not know either. does not put entirely out of step. te'o yes not alone. goes like there is a big list. i think it probably will get longer steve baker, graham brady, they will probably enter the race. i would be surprised if it stops at 12. hopefully it will stop at 15 we will start losing count as well. this might be talked about borisjohnson andjeremy hunt and might be talked about borisjohnson and jeremy hunt and michael gove. there is also the question of boris johnson about whether he had much impact as foreign secretary on mr trump, not least over iran where britain has taken a different line.

you also asked about borisjohnson's private life and whether eczema until affairs were imported in the world of politics. just might forgive me, we welcome back to that. we do not have that unfortunately. lets talk about theresa may, his relationship with her has been speculated about, and he of course had that famous thing where she had said, trump told vi should be suing the european union, which she obviously was not impressed by. he has not been impressed by her negotiating strategy. their relationship has been, they have coincided over here. i think when he started off, he very much hoped theresa may would be his maggie thatcher and perhaps he would play the roddy reagan start we had that press conference where they had a

great loving together. —— ronald reagan. 0ne great loving together. —— ronald reagan. one thing donald trump does know about british politics is brexit. he also prides himself as being a great deal maker. his idea of making a deal is confrontational, you make threats and bang the table and you get something out of the other side. theresa may's negotiating with the eu, some tories wanted her to do more of that, it has been an attempt at being more consensual. she ended up with a deal, not everything she wanted or tory mps wanted. i think trump is with people like the er g. he would like to see more threats, more walking away. theresa may would say, if we walk away, terrible things could happen to the economy. that is not a risk she is prepared to take. a drastically different style, which is probably why donald trump would like to see some little bit more confrontational in number ten. goes my case it therefore going to be so

long and goodbye meeting? fax we asked the president, it is strange coming over, monday is all the state ceremonial pomp and grandeur. tuesdayis ceremonial pomp and grandeur. tuesday is the serious business in numberten forthe tuesday is the serious business in number ten for the prime tuesday is the serious business in numberten forthe prime is tuesday is the serious business in number ten for the prime is that for much of the day. we put it to donald trump that it was a stray time to time, since she is now a lame—duck, she will not be there and if you weeks' time. they will probably never speak again. he says, i didn't speak that —— did not choose the timing. as great as laura is at her job, we didn't pick it either. the offers of the presidency and prime minister they go on, they are permanent. —— the offices. there is a lot to thrash out on tuesday,

whether the chinese company can build a child of the uk's five g network, the americans are concerned about that. downing street are ready to allow a small part of that, a big bone of contention. 0ther to allow a small part of that, a big bone of contention. other areas, they need to sort out detainees in syria. there quite a few brits in syria. there quite a few brits in syria under us guard, other kurdish guard, which donald trump wants written to take back. we saw that earlier in the year. that'll be a flash point. brexit, a trade deal, donald trump says he was to do that. that will be difficult while we are still in the eu, is certainly while in the transition period. some big issues that going to outlast both notjust issues that going to outlast both not just theresa may about donald trump. the formerjustice secretary,

the labour peer lord falconer, says the party should expel a prominent party member who was suspended yesterday. peter willsman is accused of saying the israeli embassy was "almost certainly" behind complaints of anti—semitism. my my task is with the equalities commission who are lodging an investigation. the issue of peter willsman is an acid test for the labour party, peter willsman has in this recording that was published by a radio station yesterday, said that the allegations of anti—semitism in the allegations of anti—semitism in the labour party are in effect orchestrated by the israeli embassy. that is a conspiracy theory which has absolutely no foundation whatsoever. if you remember —— you area whatsoever. if you remember —— you are a member of thejewish community, it would give you little hope that the labour party would deal fairly with allegations of anti—semitism if somebody on its

main ruling body, the national executive committee, had those views. it is right that he has been suspended, but the next step for the labour party is to deal with the disciplinary case against him as quickly as possible. 0therwise people will have little confidence andi people will have little confidence and i were setting our face strongly against anti—semitism. well, let's speak now to our political correspondent, mark lobel. when you hear what lord faulkner is saying, he takes peter willsman as bang to rights. you want an answer in the next 14 days. he has been suspended pending an investigation, it could not come at a worse time for labour. this issue has been brewing for a long time. what is being said privately about this in the labour party? if nothing else, the labour party? if nothing else, the timing is embarrassing. the labour party? if nothing else, the timing is embarrassingm the labour party? if nothing else, the timing is embarrassing. it is, as they are in a problem. peter willsman made these comments in january, and i have heard him say

the same thing in september, that was after he was supposed to have been through equalities training. for previous comments that had upset people. off the record chat, not recorded with me, but i believe that he thinks this is true. in that conversation with me he said that america was also behind theirs. it is difficult to interpret whether he thinks it is more mechanical conspiracy and obsolete people are concerned about anti—semitism at face value. peter willsman can a nswer face value. peter willsman can answer on those charges. —— absolutely people are. he is not the only person in private conversations who has these views and sees this as a destabilising effort on behalf of people who do not likejeremy corbyn. he is very close tojeremy corbyn, he is a very prominent figure, he transcribes late at night the minutes from the meeting sunday

size what action the party takes. the labour party decides a lot of its policy in this way. it is a usually influential person that jeremy corbyn would be sad to see go. right now i think he is a very difficult position. —— he is in a very. around 70,000 liverpool and tottenham hotspur supporters will be in madrid tonight for only the second ever champions league final to feature two english clubs. without a ticket, fans won't be able to watch the game on the big screens, as officials have confirmed that fan zones will shut before kick—off for safety. if tottenham win, they'll lift their first european cup. liverpool will be hoping they can win their sixth. hugh woozencroft is already at the stadium in madrid, where tonight's match will take place, and anna holligan is in central madrid, where fans are beginning to gather. 32,000 ticket allocation between the two teams. it is not a lot. no,

absolutely not. we expect 70,000 fa ns absolutely not. we expect 70,000 fans will have travelled from the united kingdom next flight that had be laid on by flight operators. there could be many more fans from a lot of different countries around the world. we have seen asia, the americas, africa, australia represented by fans from both teams. 0fficials expect in excess of 150,000 supporters of football to reach this city over the next 12 — 24—hour is. it will be a big night for the fans, especially for the players as well of both sides. spurs going for theirfirst players as well of both sides. spurs going for their first champions league title, what a night it could be for theirfans. league title, what a night it could be for their fans. it is the first time they have played any european cup final at all. the last time they won a european trophy was the cup winners' cup in 1984. they are found mainly in disbelief. i different

story for liverpool. last time they won the champion league was in 2005. they had been beaten into final since 2007 and last year against real madrid, they would love to avenge that result today. they face avenge that result today. they face a team they have beaten twice this season, good and bad omens for both sides. the liverpool boss has been beaten in his last six finals, three of those whilst manager of brochure dortmund, and three with liverpool. he would love to overturn that record as he has not won a trophy in his time as liverpool boss, nor has mauricio pochettino for spurs. he has not brought a trophy home yet, and he too would love to do that for theirfans. and he too would love to do that for their fans. mentioning him to an hour, he has talked in an interview in the last couple of days about the importance of the energy that can be ca ptu red importance of the energy that can be captured by the team in order to win. how much of that energy is on display among the fans? it is

absolutely palpable here. less than 12 hours to go before we should know who has won the most prestigious prize in club football. there are thousands of fans already gathering here in the central squares in madrid. they are feeling invincible on both sides, but also vulnerable to those ticket touts. possible scams with people pretending to be officials, scanning tickets, trying to steal the tickets. we have two fans here who have travelled all the way from the uk. michael, and chris. you have come to support liverpool. you have come to support liverpool. you are hoping to put that runners—up status behind you and lift the trophy for a six time. yes, i have been to the last two, last to

be lost and are looking for a happier occasion. and you, michael, one of the lucky few who has a golden ticket, how does it feel? amazing, i golden ticket, how does it feel? amazing, lam golden ticket, how does it feel? amazing, i am looking forward to the game and hopefully we can that carp and get back to tottenham. you have some tips, because you play midfield. what is your advice? to the players, i have not been and the same situation, but i want them to keep calm and composed and bring that cop home. the other thing you sense on the street is the amazing camaraderie between rivals. how do you feel standing shoulder to shoulder in the first all english final in more than a decade?m shoulder in the first all english final in more than a decade? it is brilliant, there is no bad blood. everyone has been really friendly and happy. iwish everyone has been really friendly and happy. i wish them all the best. same here. it has been a lovely day so same here. it has been a lovely day so far. hopefully it can get even

better, and it is nice to see both groups are found collaborating and having a nice time. anything you would like to say? may the best team win. good luck. back to you guys. that's the spirit. we will have much more through the course of the day on bbc news. you can see that the all the build—up to the game here on bbc news, i listen to commentary on radio five live. the headlines on bbc news: donald trump aces borisjohnson in his bid to become prime minister. totte n ha m his bid to become prime minister. tottenham versus liverpool, fans and players going up for the all english changes league final in madrid tonight. good news for tenants in anglo, a ban on letting fees including credit checks and viewings, has come into force.

sport, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. so much to keep across. we will do our best start a little football match taking place later tonight in madrid, tottenham against liverpool. i will correspond that looks ahead to what we are hoping should be another classic encounter. arriving in the capital of spain for club football's most high—profile game. thousands of tottenham and liverpool fa ns thousands of tottenham and liverpool fans here to cheer their teams and pursue dreams of glory. it has been a roller—coaster. we are here, positive, i think we will win the game. it is going to be number six! come on, liverpool! i have been a spurs fan all my life, it isjust incredible. this is where the sides

will meet, whether champions will be crowned, the stadium where history is about to be made. the work of moritz reported tino and juergen klopp has been transformational, but neither tottenham or liverpool have any silverware to show for it. tonight that will change. —— mauricio pochettino. a stunning comeback against barcelona. they will be desperate to atone for defeat by real madrid in kiev last year. and take a six european cup back to anfield. even when i was unlucky, so far, but i am silly enough to try it again and again. i do not waste time with being a bad mood. how i learned to have enough time after the game, we will be there and we will try to play a very positive game. spurs are through to the stage for the first time after an incredible performance of their

own to be dyaks, pochettino's players proving anything is possible. it is a great team, a lot of quality. they will be ready to fight. we are going to try, i hope we win the base and the best will be tottenham. just like the build—up is almost over. the company trophy is coming to eglin for one set of players, immortality awaits. this ynez very much set. you might be pulling an all—nighter if you are staying up for the champions league final, and then the boxing. anthony georgiou will defend his world heavyweight title against andy louisejunior, heavyweight title against andy louise junior, the mets heavyweight title against andy louisejunior, the mets kid weighing in at £20 heavier. few people are giving him a chance against a man who has yet to be beaten and his professional career. joshua beat, he

will be facing the auto welder, setting up a fight against tyson fury. wilder tweeted that he sighed and agreed to face fury in a rematch. fury‘s promoter has told beastie sport that tyson is focused on that fight on the 15th ofjune. he says that any announcement to michael be made in due course. a huge match in madrid later, in day at twickenham as well with exeter taking on saracens in the premier league final. between them they won the title every year said 2014, and exeter‘s director of rugby says beating saracens is no easy task. current champions, they are a good side, i've heard them described as said a generation. i can understand that because teams tend to become cyclical, you can see they have a good strong playing group. i think

we are a strong playgroup and on our day we have beaten saracens before in important games. that is what we have to strive to do again. back to madrid, before such a big game for two tea ms madrid, before such a big game for two teams at their managers normally keep to themselves, so imagine liverpool supporters‘ shock when jugen klopp walked through the streets of the spanish capital. it will take you a view looks. that is a lookalike. debatable as to whether some of those fans realised he was a lookalike, but he was getting absolutely mobbed. a big day also at epsom, the derby going off, england‘s women in action as well in new zealand. the final warm up to the world cup. that is all the sport for now, much more later. at least 12 people have been killed in a mass shooting at a government office in the us state of virginia. the gunman died in an exchange of fire with police. he‘s been described as a disgruntled employee of the city of virginia beach. 0ur north america correspondent

chris buckler reports. some of the employees who were finishing up their work on friday afternoon never had a chance to go home. the police say one of their long—time colleagues walked in and started shooting indiscriminately. killing a dozen people. they said this day and they aren‘t on the cops got their and let us come out. there was probably about 20 of us in an office, crammed in. we barricaded the door. just make did you hear any gunshots? yes, we did. several people were wounded and had to be airlifted to hospital. the government is said to have made his way from floor to floor, shooting wildly, before being killed in an exchange of fire with police. an officer was also struck, but he was saved from serious injury because he was wearing a bullet—proof vest.

this is a horrific day for the commonwealth of virginia. 0ur this is a horrific day for the commonwealth of virginia. our hearts ache over this senseless violence that has been inflicted the virginia beach community today. my deepest condolences and prayers go to the families of those who left home this morning and will not return tonight. behind accordance, police teams, the fbi and forensic officers are examining the scene and try to piece together the background to this country‘s later shooting. it is believed the gunmen was a discount on public employee, based here at the offices at virginia beach. there will be a full investigation to try to determine what led him to commit these murders. but the wider debate once again bobby about how easy it is to get guns in america. this is a 150th mast shooting in the united

states this year. —— the 150th mast shooting. a ban on "unfair" fees charged by lettings agents in england has come into force today, two—and—a—half years after the plan was first announced. it means tenants will no longer be billed for things like viewings, credit checks or setting up a tenancy — but there are warnings rents could be pushed up as a result, as landlords try to make up their lost income. joining me now is david cox, chief executive at arla propertymark. from a tenant‘s point of view, they sound like good news. it does sound great, and it is one of those good consumer stories, but in reality what is likely to happen and what we are already seeing as agents are from today no longer able to charge these fees, sale have to pass the cost onto landlords. they will in turn passed back to tenants. goes like you say they are legitimate costas, jaw critics say the reverse.

the government says they were not legitimate. they cover three aspects, referencing, contract negotiation and infantry. when you a application fee, a survey. those we re application fee, a survey. those were akin to the three for letting. the difference is you pay ten or 20 times that to three different people when buying, but it letting the agent does it for you. some examples and people reporting this, £120 for and people reporting this, £120 for a renewal after someone has been a te na nt a renewal after someone has been a tenant for six months, routine for people to renew. they go ahead and the management agency charges a £120. what is that for? all the czechs should have been done the first time. there is a variety of things, particularly if tenants want different rent and change terms and their agreement. there is a lot of back was and for what i‘d be estimate is about eight hours of

work. the important thing is to remember that the renewal fees are not being banned for another 12 months, so as tenants come up to renew their tenancy they will still have to pay those. at least for the next year. you did some research looking at the economic effects. the lettings industry is about 20% of the industry. it is a huge change. £700 million across the year in england and wales. landlords will see their fees go up by about £300 million. for tenants... so about see their fees go up by about £300 million. for tenants. .. so about £10 a month. if you were paying £120

every six months, that is less than that, so
