chris mason reports. if you see yourself as the face of the country's future, you can expect plenty of questions about your own past. i can confirm that i will be putting my name forward to be prime minister of this country. for mr gove recently, to here in the late ‘90s is about the time he now admits he cocaine. ..he told the daily mail. will, though, those who choose our next prime minister — conservative mps and members — agree? ultimately, this is an admission of illegality but i guess the key question is, will it make any difference? times have changed, and this isn't the devastating blow for michael gove's campaign that it might once have been. having said that, he is in for some very awkward conservations with party members, who tend to be

very socially conservative on this issue. and that will be a drag on his campaign. the flip side of that is that it's dragged boris back into the limelight over class a drugs. have you snorted cocaine? unsuccessfully, a long time ago. this was borisjohnson 14 years ago. i sneezed. a very small quantity. it was a long, long time ago. i think it's probably a disgusting and ridiculous thing to do and what else can i say about it? three years later, he said it was simply untrue that he had taken cocaine. other candidates have had admissions to make. rory stewart has apologised for smoking opium at a wedding in iran 15 years ago. this afternoon in michael gove's constituency in surrey people appeared relaxed about their mp's past behaviour. to me, it's not relevant. i think this isjust people are trying to slur, just to bring him down. not really fair to do that.

personally speaking, i don't think it will have any real impact. remember, the race to replace theresa may — and move on here by the end of next month — hasn't yet formally begun. that happens on monday. so the scrutiny, the awkward questions, the probing of each candidate's past is onlyjust beginning. mr gove and his rivals are now in a breathless battle for the topjob. chris mason, bbc news. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are broadcaster lynn faulds wood and economic adviser to arbuthnot banking, ruth lea. president trump says america and mexico have reached a deal on illegal migration. the us president had threatened to impose tariffs on all mexican imports from the start of next week unless action was taken to stem the flow of people crossing

the border illegally. will grant reports from mexico's border with guatemala in the town of tapachula. pourous, jungled, and nearly impossible to police. every day, people move back and forth across the suchiate river, mexico's natural border with central america, on inflatable rafts. many cross for work, commerce, even school. but for us—bound migrants, it's a crucial step on their arduous journey north. for now, punitive tariffs have been avoided. yet few in mexico think the shaky peace on immigration will last. president lopez obrador has urged donald trump towards more dialogue, insisting that mexico has clamped down hard on illegal immigration in recent months. still, so far, it's made little difference. president trump continues to paint this as basically an unmanned gateway into the united states. once inside mexico,

the tough part begins. mexico says it's prepared to increase the deterrent by sending thousands more troops to its southern border. this week, some 500 migrants were detained, joining the more than 80,000 deported since december — a huge jump on the previous year. meanwhile, local immigration agencies are clearly overwhelmed and underfunded, as they struggle to provide basic services or help with asylum claims. translation: the first time, we dealt with around 20,000 migrants. we just didn't have the resources. the mayor of the town had to dip into her own pocket to help out. typically, most migrants are from central america, though some have reached tapachula from half a world away — democratic republic of congo, central african republic, cameroon. they're all fleeing one thing in common — violence. there's war in cameroon. that is my reason that, i suppose, made me to leave cameroon. so i am trying to go to us because there's a lot

of human rights in us. the group showed us disturbing images of their trip through the darien gap, one of the most hostile environments in the americas. some of their travel companions never made it, they said. for mexico, this is a major issue. the mexican government, i feel, has been doing everything it can in the circumstances, and what we need is american cooperation, not unilateral threats. mexico can ill afford an economic conflict with the us, its largest trading partner. a recession would surely increase immigration north, exacerbating the problem. yet mexicans fear mr trump, who's recently cut aid to central america, isn't interested in the causes of immigration, only in seeing it stamped out. will grant, bbc news, tapachula, mexico. well, earlier, ispoke

to will in mexico city. he said that today's outcome would have been welcome for both mexico and the white house. i think we can expect him to play it heavily among his base but nevertheless, i think mexico is pleased, he was planning to take some of those measures anyway as far asi some of those measures anyway as far as i could see and certainly he has avoided the tariffs which economically was crucial for this country. the economy is not in the

best shape. how important it was theirs for the president of mexico and mexico? the impact of those tariffs, what could they have done to mexico? when we bearing in mind that mexico sends everything from avocados and tomatoes and agricultural produce right through to cars, flatscreen tvs, car parts, the manufacturing base between mexico to the us is huge. trade itself is worth somewhere in the region of $350 billion a year so it is vital. and a 5% tax slapped on all of that would have been extremely difficult. and plus it was going to start at five ferment and increment to a maximum of 25% so staving that alf was very important to avoid recession and obviously a recession in this country would simply add more mexicans to the flow of people heading north in the first place. this could well be a very short lived hiatus for mexico. how difficult is it going to be for them

to adhere to these conditions? yes, i think that is true. i think there isa i think that is true. i think there is a sense now that at least they area bit is a sense now that at least they are a bit more on the same page when it comes to the question of immigration and undocumented migrants heading through mexico on their way to the us. i think the thing is, and a lot of migrants rights groups in this country say, what about the migrants themselves? there has been a lot of focus on stopping them and stamping it out and preventing it, but what about strengthening? mexico did at least secured some support for a development plan within central america to try and provide some dignified and decent and well—paid jobs in honduras and el salvador and guatemala which might help the actual causes of the entire thing rather than saying little you can't come through here and you can't go there.

a 16—year—old boy has been arrested over a homophobic attack against two lesbians in london. melania and her partner chris were passengers on a night bus when a group began harassing them and asking them to kiss. four other males aged between 15 and 18 were questioned on suspicion of robbery and aggravated grievous bodily harm. all of those arrested have been bailed until earlyjuly. a woman who was bitten by a dog in preston last friday has died. 55—year—old sharonjennings, was walking her own dog in the brookfield area of preston when she was attacked by another dog. she was taken to hospital on monday and died last night. police are making enquires to trace the dog involved and its owner. one of britain's most wanted men has been arrested in malta after 16 years on the run. police wanted to question christopher guest more junior, who's ai, in connection with the murder of a man at a remote cheshire farmhouse injune 2003. the victim was tortured and beaten to death in front of his two adult children. the queen's official birthday has been marked by the annual

trooping the colour ceremony. the duchess of sussex joined the parade in an open—top carriage, her first public appearance since the birth of her son four weeks ago. our royal correspondent daniella relph reports. fanfare this week, she has hosted a president and remembered the sacrifice of d—day. today, the queen herself was celebrated on her official birthday. trooping the colour also saw a return to royal duties for the duchess of sussex. meghan rode in a carriage with her husband and the duchesses of cornwall and cambridge, for her first royal engagement since baby archie was born on the 6th of may. the american duchess did not take part in the state visit of the american president earlier in the week, because of the birth of her baby son. but officials say she chose to interrupt her maternity leave for this event, because it is a family moment in which she wanted to share.

the queen has rarely missed a trooping the colour. hers is an expert eye on a spectacle of military precision. among those watching was theresa may, a day after formally stepping down as conservative party leader. from the parade ground back to the palace, surrounded by pomp and pageantry. the ceremony also draws together one of the year's largest gatherings of senior royals. and the police carefully guided the crowds on the mall into prime position. at buckingham palace, they saw the queen lead the family out as the younger generation stole the show. prince louis, 13 months old and making his debut on the palace balcony, had his own take on the royal wave. they all watched the fly—past, the day's grand finale, although strong winds meant several of the vintage aircraft couldn't fly.

after the ball cross the boundary for six, the technique declined. fielding isn't easy for those paid to do it. a fumble came from bangladesh. jason roy was watching them miss field and thinking of celebrating his century. he wasn't looking at the umpire. all smiles in the end, especially on the england balcony, and eventually from the umpire, that is joel wilson. all of england's big shots came off, but bangladesh's captain was under this one. he needed every claw he had, and bangladesh needed 387 to win, the biggest stretch in their history. it is hard to bat againstjofra archer. hassan maintained the chase with 100, one of the best cricketers in the world, notjust bangladesh. others fell, jonny bairstow‘s catch as wicketkeeper, jos buttler injured. bangladesh's hopes went when a shack he'd fell. england have restored

be embarrassing? you are doing amazing work. we set up as a charity in 2002. it was about encouraging more women to take part in exercise, fitness, and sport. we were the generation that used to watch bbc brea kfast generation that used to watch bbc breakfast and see the green goddess every morning. we started to develop oui’ every morning. we started to develop our own kind of exercise and fitness activities and we ended up being supported by sport england to open oui’ supported by sport england to open our own facility. and what we started to do with lots of activities for young girls and we started to branch out to do more with older women so now we have cycling club, a running club, and we have women who do walk, jog, runs, and they do half marathons and marathons, as well as cycling. recently we took part in a ride where you could take part in 100 miles but because it was during

ramadan, we did the ramadan special where we took part in the last ten miles. next year we will take part in the whole event. it is about encouraging more women to feel that they can do sport and they don't have to be the lycra clad kind of woman, they can be anybody and they can do it at their own kind of ability, shall we say. it's about creating journeys from women from a lower level and wanted to go to running half marathons and full marathons. you said we never had the opportunity to take part in these exercises that you were seeing, why not, could you expand on that for us? because many my community, especially... about 15 or 20 years ago, a lot of the women would not wa nt to ta ke ago, a lot of the women would not want to take part in any kind of sporting activities where it was a mixture of men and women. many women lacked confidence and they wanted to do it as a women only activity.

women are more social, they want to mix and make friends, and so it is kind of like a social activity and is part of that social activity, you might go running, cycling, all swimming, it is about creating the opportunity to get women to be more confident to do things like that. obviously, the benefits must be incredible for your health but tell us incredible for your health but tell us about the social benefits. the social benefits, actually, are more amazing because you might think you wa nt to amazing because you might think you want to come and get fitter and healthier and slimmer and that is not what we try and emphasise, what we emphasises the fun, getting to know the people, yourfriends we emphasises the fun, getting to know the people, your friends and neighbours, it is geographically based and it will is for all women so based and it will is for all women so it is intergenerational, those relationships develop into community relationships develop into community relationships that benefit each other. and more importantly it is about stress is at home, just as with the children, you are able to meet someone who has already been through that and they give you

advice and guidance. you get more than just taking part advice and guidance. you get more thanjust taking part in advice and guidance. you get more than just taking part in the advice and guidance. you get more thanjust taking part in the run of the cycling session or whatever it is you are doing with us.|j understand part of this is fighting isolation and by its nature, this is a hidden phenomenon. how big a problem is it? well, it is a huge problem, there are mothers who are isolated because they have just got their newborn child, they are at home, they sometimes feel like they wa nt to home, they sometimes feel like they want to go out for an hour or two, they are older women who are stuck in their homes now because they are less able, their friends in their homes now because they are less able, theirfriends have made. whatever it is. but equally some of the asian women that i work with are not wanting to go out because they think there is nothing out there for them. we try to put in social activities like knit and women come to do that, but they actually meet someone to do that, but they actually meet someonejust to do that, but they actually meet someone just like to do that, but they actually meet someonejust like them to do that, but they actually meet someone just like them who is now cycling or who is running or who is swimming, they start to recognise that actually if she can do it, i can do it. and that is what it is really about, women encouraging

other women to become more active in their own community and to be actively looking after their health. the passion you have for this is really coming through the screen here but you have mentioned cycling a couple of times. why and how did cycling get on your schedule? a couple of times. why and how did cycling get on your schedule ?|j a couple of times. why and how did cycling get on your schedule? i was born ina cycling get on your schedule? i was born in a family of boys so i was a lwa ys born in a family of boys so i was always the footballer, the cyclist,, cricket, but i never actually got to ride or learn how to ride a cycle until i was 36, and if that happens to someone like mae, outgoing and born ina to someone like mae, outgoing and born in a family of boys and allowed to do all these sort of things but actually i never learned to cycle, i met someone else who had qualified asa met someone else who had qualified as a leader and we got to gather and set upa as a leader and we got to gather and set up a club and we informally would meet and now it has got to the stage where in our local park if you turn up at ten o'clock in the morning, you can learn to ride a bike, and at the 11 o'clock group

you can ride in the park, and if you are you can ride in the park, and if you a re really you can ride in the park, and if you are really good, you can get out on the straight, and if you are fantastic, on a sunday morning, we ta ke fantastic, on a sunday morning, we take you one at 25 mile ride. these are things that a lot of women... it is something you have always wanted to do but you have never wanted to do it on your own and suddenly you meet a partner in crime so to speak and you start to want to do other things. the running group has been to ta ke things. the running group has been to take part in a 10k in dublin. they have done ten and a half miles in edinburgh. they take part in half marathons. they have travelled weekends away to do the sorts of things because suddenly they have found somebody that wants to do the same thing as them but they have never been able to find that one person that says, you know what, i have always wanted you a 10k or i have always wanted you a 10k or i have always wanted to run a half marathon. it is about developing the social network as well. you are an inspiration, abatement tell as well, for all of your women and friends, congratulations.

now for the
