line, i know we would have already hong kong‘s chief executive carrie left the eu on acceptable terms by lam insists she‘ll press now. we are where we are and it's ahead with the proposed law which would allow individuals to be sent to face trial not a good place. we are up against in mainland china. police say 19 people were arrested it. we won't deliver brexit with and more than 350 have been questioned after demonstrations over the weekend. 00:09:17,928 --> 2147483051:41:23,679 our china correspondent 2147483051:41:23,679 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 stephen mcdonell reports. bluff and bluster. i'm the conviction to pot with a plan, the discipline and focus to lead us out by the end of october. i'm the brexiteer that you can rely on. i would return to brussels, make a best final offer to replace that backstop with the malthouse compromise based on and relying on technology, cooperation and global practice. with goodwill on all sides, it can be made to work for all sites will stop it is the only solution mps have backed. we won't be taken seriously in brussels u nless we be taken seriously in brussels unless we are clear we are willing

to walk away on wto terms if the eu refuses to budge. to deliver brexit, i will put together a cabinet reflecting the different views we have across the party but i would insist that this team is united in its resolve to deliver brexit by the end of october. i would restore collective responsibility, which has been missing in government forfar too long. applause next i would bring forward a brexit budget to boost business through what is a period of uncertainty. budget to boost business through what is a period of uncertaintym we are forced by eu stubbornness, if it is their choice that we leave on wto terms, we can drawn from that £39 billion budgeted for the brexit deal to help businesses through that transition. we have had a next six months to prepare and as the institute for government recently reported, disney impossible for mps

to stop a primer on a who is seriously determined to leave in this way. let me be clear with all of you. i don't want a wto departure. i want deal. but the lesson i learned from six years negotiating as a foreign office negotiator and lawyer at my time as brexit secretary is that we won't get a deal or even give ourselves a shot of a deal unless the eu knows that we're willing walk away. above all, we have got to put an end to this training uncertainty for the sake of businesses that need direction and for the sake of voters oui’ direction and for the sake of voters our democracy. —— for the sake of voters‘ trust of our democracy. this is the moment for calm, steely determination. it is time to take oui’ determination. it is time to take our country forward, not backwards to grasp the opportunities for brexit and focus on all those other challenges you must rise to as a

nation. that starts by winning the battle of ideas again, making the case for the value of the free enterprise economy, to create jobs and provide revenue for our precious public services. i would lead a buccaneering approach to global free trade, to help small businesses export new markets and cut tariffs. this vision is notjust about money, it touches our identity as individuals and as a country. my wife is from brazil and i have two micro brazilian boys at home, six and four, peter and joshua. micro brazilian boys at home, six and four, peterand joshua. i micro brazilian boys at home, six and four, peter and joshua. i get pretty nervous when the world cup comes around with a brazilian wife. i brought them an england football, andi i brought them an england football, and i will public get in trouble with emily thornbury. she may report me to social services, who knows? she returned fire by buying them a

brazilian kit. i grasp the nettle and took one of my sons to one side and took one of my sons to one side and said, you have got a big decision to make, possibly the biggest decision, who will you support, england or brazil? he took ten minutes to think about it and then he came back and said, i have made my decision, i will be supporting them 50—50. then there is a pause and he says, i think i will be supporting england in the first half of the competition. i could hear my wife from the other room saying, not another politician of the family! i love my country with a passion, i want my children to have a strong british identity, but i also want them to have global

horizons. i want that for my boys and our country. being proud to be british means we have got to make the case for the union, from the tech start—ups to the thriving trade of aberdeen‘s harbours. to creative and digital hubs to the family farms i visited recently. we should stand proudly together. we should embrace the global opportunities together, not sit back and take a devolve and forget approach to the union, especially when you make the case for the union up in scotland. we have got to look to the future, we have got to look to the future, we have got to leave the environment in a better state than be founded. the luddite labour party will not come up luddite labour party will not come up with credible answers to climate change. that is left to us. that is what us as conservatives, we have got to harness the power of innovation and technology to form a

policy that makes environment and economic sense. i would increase the tax credit for larger companies investing in research and development by 1%, from 12% to 13%. i would promote the uk as a world leader in green innovation through a national energy research centre to provide that leadership by bring you together our world beating scientists without world beating businesses, to pioneer the green innovation of the future. because this is a shared global challenge, i would refocus up to £500 million from our aid budget to create a uk international nature fund, to boost biodiversity, to promote preservation of endangered species act wildlife conservation. as conservatives, we must lead that change and own it. there is one challenge at about and jeremy corbyn have been half right about. even if their answers are all wrong. too

often for too many people today, capitalism looks like some kind of stitch up amongst the corporate vested interests. under my leadership, we would be unflinching champion is of the economic little quy- champion is of the economic little guy. i believe capitalism is there to serve the innovative start—up. the striving worker who hasn‘t had a pay rise in several years and the hard—pressed pay rise in several years and the ha rd—pressed consumer who is pay rise in several years and the hard—pressed consumer who is feeling the pinch of the cost of living. i wa nt the pinch of the cost of living. i want a the pinch of the cost of living. i wantafairer the pinch of the cost of living. i want a fairer deal for workers and i‘m on the site of the lowest paid, not the wealthy. i would raise the threshold for national insurance to ta ke threshold for national insurance to take the lowest paid out of those taxes altogether. applause that‘s a pay rise for the nurse getting up at five a game to catch the bus to work. that‘s the pay rise for the dad flipping burgers to take

his family on holiday. for the dad flipping burgers to take his family on holidaylj for the dad flipping burgers to take his family on holiday. i want them to know that we as conservatives are on their side. if, to know that we as conservatives are on theirside. if, like to know that we as conservatives are on their side. if, like me, to know that we as conservatives are on theirside. if, like me, you believe that capitalism is a force for good, there is a revolution waiting to happen. i started off as a business lawyer and doing competition law. i think too often today we have allowed big business today we have allowed big business to crush competition and rip off consumers. from energy bills to the cost of broadband, i would champion a policy to break the monopolies and encourage small business will stop this is some small change for the teenager hunting for a cheap mobile phone bill. it is not short change for pensioners for their gas bill.

we can save consumers hundreds of pounds each year. we can show that the be on their side. if i become prime, i will make the consumer king. applause i believe in free enterprise because, not in spite of being a compassionate conservative, we will remain the party of the nhs, delivering extra funding to a long—term plan. we have got to drive forward, not retreat, on the form of social care, based on my view of the proposals. i would also put the protection of

expecting mums and new babies the top of the priority list for the nhs. the new mission for our party, the very reason i went into politics in the first place, is to change our society in a way it is crying out for. when i was first elected in 2010, i was a volunteer and then a trustee at fight for peace, in one of the toughest areas. they don‘t meet a lot of conservatives down there, but i learned a lot from them. one lad was inside for armed robbery. he told me his story and you could see he was a brave risk—takers. you you could see he was a brave risk—ta kers. you could you could see he was a brave risk—takers. you could even say entrepreneurial. it wasn‘t

channelled in the right direction, but this lad had a spark about him. the charity gave him and others like him the benefits of sport, but also the chance, a second chance to pass his english and maths gcse, a chance to have their character nurtured, defined training or a job, a ladder of opportunity for thousands of youngsters whose talent is waiting to be tapped. we can and must make better use of grassroots organisations like that so that we tap those young people that whitehall fails and make sure they do the best for their talents. want to see more police numbers and more flexible as it on stop and search. i think if you carry a knife, you should end in prison. i also believe ina should end in prison. i also believe in a second chance society. i want those young people i met at the charity, kids who are standing at the crossroads of their lives, to

know that we are on their side. i wa nt know that we are on their side. i want us to build a meritocratic society that lets loose the aspirational underdog. i want us to build an education reform so every child in every state school can flourish. we have got to forget the snobbery that labour instilled that says university is the only route to being a success in life. think of the opportunities to go further with vocational training, boosting degree partnerships, convocations that business is crying out for. not every youngster or young person with big ambitions learns best with their head stuck in academic books. the tragedy at the last election is that too many young voters just didn‘t dream their dreams with us as

conservatives lets face it, housing was a big part of that. we have got to convince the young couple starting out in life, who want to starting out in life, who want to start a family, who want to get on the housing ladder, that we will build the homes they can actually afford, but we will deliver the property only democracy that they believe is their birthright, the conservative dream. and yet today to many young people who work hard and save just haven‘t got a hope of getting on the housing ladder. not a hope. how would you feel today if you had to start out in life again? we have got to be the government that built the homes young people can afford. we have got to make it happen stop we have got to show the younger voters that we are on their side. but all of this is about is fairness. the people we need to reach, that‘s all they ask for. a

chance to make the best of themselves, a fairer deal for those who get up for work each morning. a very society so everyone gets their shot, no matter their start in life. afairer shot, no matter their start in life. a fairer dealfrom shot, no matter their start in life. a fairer deal from brussels for the british people who have been written off forfar too long. british people who have been written off for far too long. people talk about the state of our party and they say the fire is snuffed out. we will certainly need some of that stubborn optimism. but i know that, together, we can rekindle our vision of the aspirational society. with the oxygen of the enterprise economy, we can turn that spark into a flame. if we back the economic little guy, we can nurture the flame into a fire and with the power of hope and the dream of a fairer

society, we can feel that fire into a roaring furnace. so britain will shine as a beacon of opportunity for eve ryo ne shine as a beacon of opportunity for everyone who calls this great country home. that‘s how we take britain forward and that‘s how we win the next election. thank you. applause hgppy happy to take a few questions. you said in your speech you can't deliver brexit with love and bluster. isn't that what you are setting out? you say that you can get a different deal with the eu, which they have completely ruled out

again and again, or leave without a deal, which parliament would not allow unless you were serious about suspending parliament. allow unless you were serious about suspending parliamentlj allow unless you were serious about suspending parliament. i have be the only candidate with a targeted forensic approach to the backstop which would give us a chance of an a cce pta ble which would give us a chance of an acceptable deal and get it through the house of commons was not i‘m the only candidate that said if we can‘t get that we would leave on wto terms. i am committed to making that happen. i quoted the institute for government report, which said it is almost possible to block it was the one thing i haven‘t done which other candidates have is take things off the table which only weaken our negotiating power in brussels. is that itv? sky, sorry. the institute for government says it would be near impossible, but it

doesn't say impossible. if parliament were to move against you, what would be your choice, provoking parliament or fighting an election ona no parliament or fighting an election on a no deal policy? it would be so much harder this time for parliament with some of the guerrilla warfare tactics we have seen in the past to stop the prime minister with a united cabinet from getting us out of the end of october. the reason i wa nt to of the end of october. the reason i want to do that and say it more clearly tha n a ny want to do that and say it more clearly than any other candidate is because i want a deal and we have got to get beyond brexit by the end of october so we can talk about the fair economy, so can talk about a very society and so this country can move forward. you mentioned bluff and bluster. we think borisjohnson is the man to beat in this contest. what do you think you have got that he hasn't got? i won't speak ill of

any other candidates. boris is a terrific campaigner. this is a time for change and i think i offer a vision of change for the future, talking about a fairer economy. my tax cuts are for the poorest in work andi tax cuts are for the poorest in work and i think we need a generational change of leadership. aside from the vision, think about what it will be like for the next prime in a going into those labour marginal seats. i would rather be going there saying that i would cut taxes of the lowest paid in work than succumbing to what will inevitably be the caricature that you are the party of privilege and you are only in it to help the wealthy. i don‘t thing anyone will be able to say that about me, given my plan and background. you and your fellow candidates have made tax pledges, but andrea leadsom

said that they were unlikely to get through. other empty promises? no, and mine are costed. my come to 15 billion, so that is the national insurance in the first penny of the basic rate of untapped acts will stop it is a good question about what can get through the house of commons. can you imagine going to house of commons with a tax cut that will benefit people who are well off? 0r whether we go to the house off? 0r whether we go to the house of commons and facejeremy corbyn with a tax cut that will help people in labour marginal seats, i think that‘s right thing to do but politically it is also the smart thing to do. i will take one more. my first question is, do you think michael gove should withdraw from the leadership race? and matt hancock was talking about positivity and emotional intelligence. do you think you have emotional

intelligence? yes, i do. that is why i don‘t think michael gove should drop out of the race. applause the gentleman at the back. many scottish tories have warned that the type of brexit you are willing to contemplate if we leave without a deal is one that would put the union at risk and increase support for a scottish independence, including ruth davidson, who has supported a rival of yours stop how can you complex that? i'm actually the best rated candidate north of the best rated candidate north of the border. we are notjust resting on our laurels but making sure that people understand when the uk government delivers something north of the borderfor government delivers something north of the border for scotland, government delivers something north of the borderfor scotland, or anywhere else across the union, we get out there and make the case for it, champion it from the rooftops was top we have a unionjack flying, we allowed and proud that we are the

conservative and unionist party, we wa nt to conservative and unionist party, we want to keep the union together and we wa nt want to keep the union together and we want to stand and a brace the global opportunities and challenges that we face together. that is a really positive optimistic message to ta ke really positive optimistic message to take to all four corners of the united kingdom puts a one more. thank you. kate devlin from the times. would you agree are a feminist idea views on abortion law? maria say she wants to persuade me to become a feminist and it would not change the law on abortion. i think it is broadly right. i asked personally how you feel about the law on abortion. i would not change it and i would not advocate what i think my private life, i want to see the of unwanted pregnancies to come down, but i think with education and support, there is a better way to do it than change the legal limit, that is my own view. thank you very much.

that is dominic rab lunching his leadership campaign. and the question he focused on the controversial aspects of what he said of his campaign, one being the issue of pirogue in parliament on whether he would be sidestepping parliament in the event of parliament in the event of parliament trying to block a no—deal brexit. moving on from there because we are expecting any momentjeremy hunt. he is also launching his leadership campaign. there is if you have these going on today because todayit have these going on today because today it has the deadline at five o‘clock for nominations to close the candidates. there are currently 11 who have put their hats in the ring, but they can on the go forward to the next stage at five o‘clock if they have got eight supporters. we will have to see what happens at five o‘clock and whether any dropout

and who might drop out. that will all become clear after five o‘clock. for now what we are seeing throughout the day is various leadership contenders setting out their stall. you can see the packed room in westminster waiting for jeremy hunt to arrive. the slogan for his campaign— united to wind. we will break away and we will go back as soon as we can. now is get the weather. some important news, an amber warning from the met office issued by the south—east of england, heavy thundery showers developing into this afternoon. you can see from the radar lots of rain in eastern areas, thatis radar lots of rain in eastern areas, that is moving westwards, eventually into east wales under the south—west. prior to whether the northern england, there will be heavy showers here into the afternoon. maximum temperatures will be rehoused in the western part of scotland, a bit where you have got

the rain, a bit breezy, north—easterly winds, temperatures 14 north—easterly winds, temperatures 1a degrees. here is the amber warning. as we go through later on this afternoon, that is where we could see some localised flooding issues with heavy rain expected and heavy thundery rain. the rain will spread northwards and westwards through tonight and tomorrow. the rest of this week, unsettled, heavy rain at times as well. hello, this is bbc newsroom live. the headlines: the tory leadership race begins in earnest today, as nominations for who wants to be the next prime minister close at five o‘clock. frontrunner borisjohnson has pledged to cut income tax for higher earners if he succeeds theresa may in number ten, with matt hancock and dominic raab launching their campaigns this morning.

i‘m the conviction brexiteer with a plan, the discipline and the focus to lead us out by the end of october. i‘m the brexiteer that you can rely on. growth in the british economy slowed in the three months to april, mainly due to a dramatic fall in car production. a coalition of women‘s organisations says it is prepared to take the crown prosecution service to court, accusing it of secretly deciding to bring fewer rape prosecutions in england and wales. and we are waiting to hear from jeremy hunt, who is going to be officially launching his leadership campaign. 0bviously standing as a leader of the conservative party, as are currently ten others. but whoever wins this will also be the next prime minister, so that is all

due to happen in the next few moments was that we will be hearing from jeremy hunt. he has had the backing today is amber rudd. that has been something that hats people looking to as to who the work and pensions secretary would come out and support. she has come out to supportjeremy hunt and are saying that he would be a serious leader for serious times. we will be back there in westminster as soon as jeremy hunt arrives to launch his leadership campaign. growth in the british economy slowed in the three months to april. figures from the office for national statistics have been released — the slowdown is attributed to a drop in car production following the original brexit deadline. the slowdown meant growth for the three months to april slowed to 0.3%. the contraction in the economy in april was far sharper than economists had expected, although as you can see

from this graph, growth had weakened across the latest three months. (biv)0ur business our business correspondentjonty bloom has been explaining the factors behind the drop in growth. it is almost entirely due to brexit because if we look at the figures, services sectors continue to grow, manufacturing declined by a huge amount, 5%, and in that, kappa manufacture was down. the car factories were worried about brexit happening, so they shut down for their annual closure for new equipment to update the planned comment bring in new models, but they did it at the same time. the knock—on effects of that are huge because there is a massive supply chain across the country which supplies engines and components and parts for those plans and they will have stopped as well. that was the one—off hit. campaigners say they are prepared to take the crown prosecution service to court over claims sexual offence cases are being dropped

without good reason. a group of women‘s organisations have accused it of secretly making a decision to bring fewer rape prosecutions in england and wales. the cps have denied the claims. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, reports. phone messages and social media are now playing an increasingly important part in rape investigations. rebecca says she had some nonhostile exchanges with the man she accused of raping her because she was terrified and he‘d threatened her with a knife. but she was told her messages could be misinterpreted by a jury and on the eve of the trial, a prosecutor announced they were dropping the case. she said that the whatsapp messages were of a concern. and that they didn‘t think that a jury would believe that he had raped me. i was absolutely devastated, i was retraumatised all over again. i actually felt suicidal.

women‘s organisations say there has been a 173% increase in rape complaints over the past four years, but there‘s also been a 44% drop in cases actually getting to court. this means that only around one in 25 rape complaints result in a prosecution. prosecutors are being encouraged to anticipate what quite a prejudiced jury might think, and therefore, to drop cases that are thought to be weak at an early stage. this is not acceptable, we say it's not lawful and we want it changed and we'll see them in court to get that change if we have to. rebecca says she would now deter other women from making a complaint. the cps insists prosecutions are decided solely on evidence and denies there has been any change in approach. june kelly, bbc news. lead us take you back to westminster where we expect to hear from jeremy

hunt as he launches his bid to be the leader of the tory party and the next prime minister. there are 11 candidates in the running, we were just hearing from dominic raab who launched his leadership campaign a few moments ago saying that the referendum result of 2016 must be respected. he was questioned about how he would ensure britain does leave on the 31st october, as he has said he would make happen. and there have been questions for him on that because he has said that he would pirogue parliament, suspend parliament if parliament were looking like it wanted to block a no—deal brexit. that is dominic raab a few moments ago. we are just waiting onjeremy a few moments ago. we are just waiting on jeremy hunt a few moments ago. we are just waiting onjeremy hunt and we will be back there as soon as it begins. a nurse has been re—arrested by police investigating the deaths of a number of babies at a hospital in chester. lastjuly a woman

was arrested for the murder of eight babies and the attempted murder of six more at the countess of chester hospital‘s neo—natal unit. she was since bailed. but today, the healthcare professional has been re—arrested over these allegations, and the attempted murder of three additional babies. opponents of a proposed extradition bill in hong kong are planning another day of protests and labour strikes for wednesday. are planning another day of protests and labour strikes for wednesday. hong kong‘s chief executive carrie lam insists she‘ll press ahead with the proposed law which would allow individuals to be sent to face trial in mainland china. police say 19 people were arrested and more than 350 have been questioned after demonstrations over the weekend. 0ur china correspondent stephen mcdonell reports. the hong kong government has remained defiant, even the face of anonymous opposition. exactly how many people joined the demonstration has been a point of debate, but it was certainly in the hundreds of

thousands. protesters clogged the city‘s streets, opposing a move to allow extradition to mainland china to face trial. chief executive carrie lam says there has been a lack of communication. but that she won‘t delay the process. lack of communication. but that she won't delay the process.” lack of communication. but that she won't delay the process. i want to say to every citizen in hong kong who has expressed a view on these amendments, whether you are agreeing or art, whether you are supporting the work we doing a objecting, ito thank everyone —— like i want to thank everyone —— like i want to thank everyone. temple carrie lam says they do not understand that there are fugitives in the city with no fear of justice across the buddha. if lawyers, judges, academics in the business community have condemned the bill. even with amendments, limiting expedition to

serious crimes only, many are joining the protests. hong kong has the restriction because when it comes to fugitive offenders. we don't do send defendants to china for trial because there is a lack a fair trial. 0ur concern is no matter how guilty someone is, this person has to be tried fairly. right now we do not see that in the chinese legal system, any fair trial. visitors to the city could also face extradition to the chinese mainland if they pass through in the future. and foreign governments have condemned the change which many see as a betrayal of what was promised when the former british colony was returned to china. i think it is the most serious challenge to the autonomy of hong kong and the rule of law in hong kong and the rule of law in hong kong and the rule of law in hong kong since we left in 1997. and it flatly goes against all the promises that were made about guaranteeing hong kong‘s local

autonomy. tensions look set to rise again now that the chief executive has said she will push the bill forward in the coming days. under hong kong does ‘s system, supplied by the legislation is ultimately guaranteed, so those who oppose it to say they only option is to take their protest to the street. let us take you to westminster where jeremy hunt of the foreign secretary will be launching his leadership campaignfor will be launching his leadership campaign for the tory party in just a few moments. we have been hearing from amber rudd and they are watching a video in that a news conference. we will just watching a video in that a news conference. we willjust wait watching a video in that a news conference. we will just wait for watching a video in that a news conference. we willjust wait for it jeremy hunt to speak in a few moments. amber rudd, a considerable development for the leadership campaign overjeremy hunt today, announcing her support at the works and pensions secretary was seen as someone who would be important for

the leadership contenders to have barred and she has said that he stands out above everyone. she has written an article in the times, and she was on the radio speaking about why she believes jeremy hunt should be the next leader of the conservative party. she has said, it is not enough to be told to shut your eyes, cross your fingers, is not enough to be told to shut your eyes, cross yourfingers, pick up your eyes, cross yourfingers, pick upa magic your eyes, cross yourfingers, pick up a magic beans and believe in britain. we need a skilled negotiator and deals maker, not an instruction from our optimism, and thatis instruction from our optimism, and that is seen as a bit of a dig at borisjohnson. we were hearing from dominic raab who spoke in similar terms, he didn‘t ignite he was directly referring to borisjohnson, but he said bluff and bluster will not deliver brexit at there. boris johnson is the person to beat in this contest, he is the frontrunner out of a field of 11 candidates are standing so far. but whether all 11 get through the crucial stage at 5pm this afternoon, which is when the

leadership candidates go forward into the official race and in order to cross the hurdle by, they need eight fellow tory mps supporting their bed. it is almost certain there will not be 11 on the list after five o‘clock later today. today we have got several candidates outlining their leadership beds. we have already had matt hancock, later, michael gove is going to be outlining his leadership bid, and we will also hear from outlining his leadership bid, and we will also hearfrom esther outlining his leadership bid, and we will also hear from esther mcvey. outlining his leadership bid, and we will also hearfrom esther mcvey. in terms of boris johnson will also hearfrom esther mcvey. in terms of borisjohnson and the policies that he has been outlining, he has pledged to cut income tax bills for people earning more than £50,000 a year. he says he would use money currently set aside for a no—deal brexit to raise the 5% tax rate threshold to £80,000. that has seen criticism for him from those

who say it would be a tax cut for the mart well off. let‘s listen in and listen to whatjeremy hunt has to say. good morning. the next leader of the conservative party has one hell of a shift. they have to deliver brexit, swiftly, orderly and well. and that means preserving the opportunities that, for our country from leaving the eu. they have to restore faith in cabinet, in government, in parliament and our politics. and they have to grip the challenges of our times. and they must give our country and its citizens pride and

confidence by bringing them together. my name will be onjeremy hunt's nomination papers today. cut too applause because i believe he has the experience and a plan to do all of those things. i trust him on brexit. because i've seen him in cabinet over the last year. it is true he has credibility from all sides, but he also took a side. he fought for a deal, but he also knew that we had to leave no deal on the table to secure a good deal. and on other matters, some very challenging issues, i have seen him deal with those with huge empathy and compassion. and i have

seen him deliver on the things that matter most to the british people. he is the guy who delivered more funding for the he is the guy who delivered more funding forthe nhs, he is the guy who delivered more funding for the nhs, he he is the guy who delivered more funding forthe nhs, he believes he is the guy who delivered more funding for the nhs, he believes in britain as a force for good in the world. he has shown strong values at the fco and consistently good judgment. and he has the humility to understand that outside of westminster there are millions of people without a conservative party membership card who are watching us choose their prime minister. but there is one other reason why i am backing him. just over a month ago, i became secretary of state for defence, protecting the united kingdom and her interests is the first duty of any government and any prime minister. and those that look

after us, we have got to look after them. iwant after us, we have got to look after them. i want the next prime minister of our country to plug the financial hole in our security and defence budgets, to give the men and women of our armed forces and our security agencies the tools to do the job that we ask of them. and to take ca re of that we ask of them. and to take care of them. and to explain how he will do that and to meet those of the challenges, it is my privilege to introduce my choice for the next leader of the conservative party, jeremy hunt. applause i have to say hello to my wife.

thank you, thank you. good morning, ladies and gentlemen. 0urfailure thank you, thank you. good morning, ladies and gentlemen. 0ur failure to deliver brexit has put our country and our party in grave peril. the leadership i offer is based on one simple truth — without brexit, there will be no conservative government and may be no conservative party. whoever delivers brexit will win the next election for the conservative party, but without brexit, no conservative minister can win. so delivering brexit and winning the next election are not different things, they are the same. and the person most likely to do that is someone who can negotiate a deal that will pass through parliament. as an entrepreneur and a cabinet minister who has spent his whole

life doing in negotiations, i am that person. but before i explain how we need to go forward, let me pay tribute to theresa may and the unflinching sense of duty she has shown as prime minister. history will be more generous to her than the newspapers today because alongside her setbacks in parliament, it will also record her extraordinary dedication to party and country alongside her wholehearted commitment to delivering the referendum result. when we leave the european union, her role in shaping our departure, not least the priorities that attached to the control of our borders, will bejudged both significant and honourable and i thank herfor significant and honourable and i thank her for her service to our country.

applause i‘ve been a cabinet ministerfor nine years now and i have had the privilege of serving 2—macro ministers. but i have been different to both. i will be the first entrepreneur, creating hundreds of jobs that go to the heart of what we stand for as a party. margaret thatcher inspired others to go into politics but in my case she inspired me to start a business and i will never forget having the great honour of thanking her for this never forget having the great honour of thanking herfor this in person shortly before she passed away. i would also be the first prime minister to be responsible for our biggest public service, the nhs, a post i held for longer than anyone else during which perhaps not coincidentally i start my first grey hairs emerge. being responsible for the fifth largest employer in the world and our country‘s biggest a

social mission was never easy but it was always a privilege and as a conservative, i understood the foundations on which the nhs rested. yes, i was proud to secure its biggest everfunding yes, i was proud to secure its biggest ever funding increase, double what labour had promised, but that was only possible because we had turned the economy round, every single one of the 1000 jobs we have created every day since 2010, pay taxes that funded the spending increases the nhs needed. when we set a increases the nhs needed. when we seta —— increases the nhs needed. when we set a —— said we need a strong nhs, it was the truth. but as the health secretary who dealt with mark abbe, southern health and bass part, i was even prouder about the improvements in care for patients and their families with 2.7 million more patients every year using good or

outstanding hospitals in the end. it means today is much to me as many of my incurred conservative colleagues, though they are also most welcome. i‘d also be the first prime minister for half a century whose won a marginal seat, like amber whose endorsement i was so proud to receive, i know what it is like to fight for every single vote. i didn‘t need the european elections to teach me the liberal democrats should never be underestimated and i know we will never govern as a majority unless we get fully behind our candidates and mps in marginal seats. so as a campaigner, i know will challenging the elections can be won. as an entrepreneur, i know there is no success without risk.

and as a brit, i know there is nothing our great country cannot achieve. which takes us to brexit. with me, to face the unyielding brussels machine, you will be sending ina brussels machine, you will be sending in a prime minister who has been negotiating all his life. i have always said i would be prepared to leave without a deal if there was a straight choice between no deal and no brexit, but i would do so with a heavy heart because of the risks to businesses and the risks to the union. and i would not do so if a deal that commands the support of parliament was in sight. but parliament was in sight. but parliament has made clear its intentions to take no deal off the table, no matter what the new prime minister says or does. so without any deal, any prime minister who promised to leave by a certain date would have to call a general election to change the parliamentary

arithmetic, and that is an election we would lose badly because the lessons of the european and peterborough elections are clear — if we fight an election before delivering brexit, we will be annihilated. squeezed by the brexit party on the right and the lib dems on the left, we will simply allow labour through the middle, and if that happened nationally, it would be the end of brexit, because whatever happens with a labour government, and i worry about all of it, it would never deliver brexit. we need to get real, we are facing a constitutional crisis, our new prime minister will preside over a hung parliament, a serious moment because ofa parliament, a serious moment because of a serious leader. applause we need tough negotiation, not empty rhetoric and are faced with a bad

choices, we need a prime minister who can negotiate some better choices. that is what i will strive to do with every fibre of my being, because having talked to many european leaders, i believe that if we show determination, ingenuity and confidence, there is a deal to be done. a deal that can get through parliament, that delivers on the referendum and a deal that allows our country to move on. butjust as i never defined my own politics by brexit, narked must we as a party. we needed to broaden our appeal to remain as, to women, to minorities, young people understand the ground. that means an economic vision and as a technology entrepreneur, i will fire us up to be the next to silicon valley, in area of innovation. it

means a social mission, prosperity not just for its means a social mission, prosperity notjust for its own sake, but for a purpose. i won the conservative social mission to be education, not the 50% of school leavers who go to university and generally get an excellent education, but the 50% who don‘t. too many leave education unable to read or add up properly and without the qualifications to get a well—paid job. so i will negotiate a long—term plan with the teaching profession, more funding for a guarantee that we will be the first generation to abolish illiteracy and make sure no one leaves our education system without a rigorous qualification sufficient to work up till the average salary. then this country needs to start

walking tall in the world. my dad was in the navy throughout the cold war. we followed him from devon to scotland, from portsmouth to surrey. when the berlin wall came down, he had the sweetest win any military man could hope for. victory without firing a single shot. whilejeremy corbyn was matching for cnd, my father and many others were matching forfreedom. and father and many others were matching for freedom. and that victory became because britain, america and our nato allies recognised that peace comes through strength. i passionately wonder the united kingdom to continue its global vocation, but it‘s a price to be paid for that, properly funded and armed forces. which is why with a more aggressive russia and a more

autocratic china, i pledge to increase the proportion of our gdp we spend on defence alongside maintaining ouraid we spend on defence alongside maintaining our aid commitment and i am delighted to have defence secretary penny martin here today to hold me true to that pledge. most of all, though, i want conservatives to get our mojo back politically. i won my seat by focusing relentlessly on every corner of my constituency. the votes we re corner of my constituency. the votes were needed as a party most of all those of young people. three years ago, the average age below which people were more likely to vote labour thank conservative was just 35. now it‘s 51. carry on like this and our party will die on its feet.

how can the party of aspiration turn its backs on our country‘s most aspirational people? yesterday, i published five pledges for young people. mental health support in every school and a crackdown on social media company that promote self—harm. a cut in the interest rate paid on tuition fees. 1.5 million homes for young people, pollution free cities in ten years and help for graduate entrepreneurs. i want young people everywhere to know that a conservative government is therefore you, and be inspired to do what i did when ijoined the conservative party just 19 years old. my dreams then were to set up a business, buy a house and save for a family. they won‘t just business, buy a house and save for a family. they won‘tjust my dreams was back in 1985, they were also

conservative government policy. if jeremy corbyn wins the next election, they won‘t be my children‘s dreams. because a labour government policy will be to destroy those aspirations and we must never let that happen. the biggest single reason that i want to be prime in a is to make sure our children and grandchildren can enjoy the same opportunities we did. to grow up in a prosperous and free country, bursting with opportunity for every single one of its citizens. not a divided country but a united kingdom, proud of its four nations who add a far more together than they could alone. a small island with less than 1% of the world‘s

landmass, less than 1% of the world‘s population but has nonetheless done more than any other country bar america to shape the modern world as we know it. i country saved by the heroes of d—day we remembered last week, but which looks to the future with confidence as much as the pride with which it looks on the past. that is the potential i seek to unleash. that is the country i seek to lead, so choose me for unity over division, for experience over rhetoric, for tough negotiation over empty threats. choose me and i will take us threats. choose me and i will take us through this time of crisis, deliver brexit and make our country walked all in the world. thank you. cheering and applause

now we got my favourite bit, questions from the media. let‘s start with channel 4. two things, one that you kept saying, and people in their introductions, you kept talking about a serious person. is there anyone who is not serious who is applying for this job? there anyone who is not serious who is applying for thisjob? i am getting a flashback to three years ago, a lot of the same faces within

your remaina ago, a lot of the same faces within your remain a voting government. what is it that will be different under you question i don't understand. what is it you forgot to do what you overruled from doing on brexit? 0r do what you overruled from doing on brexit? or is thisjust, let me have another go? first, let me take that second point first. if we look at our conservative colleagues as remainders or brexiteers on the basis of how they voted three years ago, we will never get a brexit deal through parliament. have to come together as a party. i look at my collea g u es together as a party. i look at my colleagues and pretty much every single one, whichever part of the party they are from, are committed to delivering the referendum. the reason they do that is that they know unless another promise we made at the last election, we can never face the country again at the next election. that is what will unite our party. the question on

seriousness, without talking about any individual candidates, let me say this was top if we want a deal we will have to engage seriously with brussels. my conversations with european leaders, it‘s clear there isa european leaders, it‘s clear there is a deal to be done, they want us to come up with proposals, and what has changed, i think, they understand that the backstop will not get through parliament, they may not get through parliament, they may not have understood that before. i think i understand the seriousness of the situation if we don‘t resolve brexit soon for them, as well as for us. and i think with the right approach they will engage with our next prime minister, sincerely and with a desire to solve this crisis. that is what i will be the best person to deliver. a couple of

questions, neither of which will desperately surprise you. you say that, for you, i know deal brexit is on the table but you also say you have no confidence that parliament would allow it, that it would trigger a general election, which you also say would be a catastrophe for your party. 0n you also say would be a catastrophe for your party. on that you rather agree with amber rudd. is there any deadline for you on brexit talks that means anything? secondly, and again nota that means anything? secondly, and again not a surprising question, have you broken the criminal law and, if so, how? laughter lets first of all talk about no deal. i have always been clear that if the only way to deliver brexit was through no deal, then that is

the route i would go. but i don‘t believe that parliament will allow that as an option. i think we have to operate in the realms of what the credible options are. if we go to the eu and threaten them with a no deal option that they know parliament will take off the table, then that is not a credible way to start a negotiation. we have to be honest about the situation we face as much as the situation they face. in terms of the deadline, the 31st of october is a pressing deadline for us and for the eu, because that is when the extension is agreed to. both sides will try very hard to do a deal by then, and i most certainly will. have i ever committed a criminal act? i will. have i ever committed a criminalact? iam racking my brain at the moment, but the answer is no. from the bbc, have a good law or

nick? laura? what is it that european leaders are saying to you privately about the possibility of a new deal that is the opposite to what they say publicly, which is that they cannot be a renegotiation of the withdrawal deal? you want to put yourself as someone who can take the conservative party forward and reach out to young people and women. is that at odds with your views about women's rights, which many people might believe is going backwards? first of all, no government i lead will seek to change the law on abortion and, with respect to your second question, the conversations i have with european leaders are that they very much do wa nt to leaders are that they very much do want to engage with us to find a solution. i had conversations last week with angela merkel and manuel macron. they‘re willing to listen to the northern ireland border issue, which is a difficult issue on both

sides. they are clear that there can be no solution that could lead to the return to border infra structure on the island of ireland. i agree with that. in the framework of that very important red line for both sides, we have to look to find a solution that can work for both of us. there is a sincere desire to do that and i think i‘m the person who can get is closest, and i very much hope to deliver that as well. francis elliott from the times. just pressing on this deadline issue, you say a no deal cannot get through parliament, you say that you will deliver brexit before the next general election, what stops the eu from pressing you against the deadline? is anything that will not be acceptable ? deadline? is anything that will not be acceptable? that is exact reason why we have to approach these negotiations in a smart way. if we

go with an ultra—hardline approach to them, we will get an ultra—hardline response and they will just refuse to ultra—hardline response and they willjust refuse to move and you willjust refuse to move and you will get to the 31st of october and nothing will have changed except, as you say, we will be one step closer to general election in which we will be annihilated. the question is, who is the prime minister who is most likely to make progress in discussions so we do have a deal that can get through parliament, and i that person. lastly, beth rigby from sky. just to be clear, on october the 315t, if you haven't got your deal, do you trigger a general election or do you delay question like the teams to me that what you are saying is that you will delay brexit passed the october 31 deadline rather than have no deal or a general election. can you spell it what you are going to do?l

a general election. can you spell it what you are going to do? a wise prime minister will make choices on the basis of the options that are in front of them on the table at the time. we don‘t know what those choices are. we don‘t know what legislation parliament may have passed, we don‘t know who the new incoming european commission diggers will be. they are coming in on the 1st of november. there are lots of things that will have changed. the one thing i can say categorically is i will never take action to provoke a general election before we have delivered brexit, because that would be fatal for delivered brexit, because that would be fatalfor our delivered brexit, because that would be fatal for our party. applause isiama applause is i am a generous man, i would take one last one from chris hope and then we will finish with. two quick questions was up tory members think you are continuity theresa may, and would you commit to monthly press conferences if you became prime and?

—— became prime minister. i will be quite different to any of the prime ministers i have served. i don‘t make a commitment to the exact request, but i do say that i think the way our leaders communicate with the way our leaders communicate with the public has to change in the modern age, we have to think of a better way of connecting and reaching ordinary people and that is something that i plan to say more about as the campaign goes on. thank you all very much indeed. caddie: that's -- cheering and applause that‘s jeremy hunt, campaigning applause that‘sjeremy hunt, campaigning to become prime minister. you can see amber rudd, we knew she was supporting his bid. and penny mordaunt announced him at that news

conference, so she also is a significant backer for his campaign. we will have more in the conservative leadership race here on bbc newsroom life. right now, we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. goodbye. the deadline for nominations to become the leader of the conservative party and the next prime minister closes at 5pm today. the deadline for nominations to become the leader a total of 11 candidates have put themselves forwards to become the next tory leader. each candidate needs the support of eight conservative mps to formally enter the leadership race. the front runner, borisjohnson, has pledged tax cuts for people earning more than £50,000 a year if he wins the race. the former foreign secretary told the telegraph he would use money currently set aside for a no—deal brexit to raise the 40% tax rate threshold to £80,000. meanwhile, michael gove is facing calls to drop out, after he admitted using cocaine several times more than 20 years ago. mr gove has apologised, and said he was lucky to avoid prison.

this all comes as work and pensions secretary amber rudd says she believesjeremy hunt should be the next prime minister. there have been several candidates outlining their position today. former brexit secretary dominc raab launched his campaign, saying he would fight for a "fairer" brexit deal with the eu. i would return to brussels, have a best final offer. with goodwill on all sides, it can be made to work in everyone‘s interest. of course, it is the only solution mps have backed. we won‘t be taken seriously in brussels unless we are clear we are willing to walk away on wto terms if the eu refuses to budge.

earlier, health secretary matt hancock launched his leadership bid. but if we just become the brexit party, then we are finished. we then need to turn to this gaping centre ground that there is in the heart of british politics. we need to win over people who voted lib dem, we need to win over people who have flirted with voting labour underjeremy corbyn. people who share our values but don‘t yet know that the conservative party is the home of those values. we need to win over younger voters, we need to win over younger women voters in particular. the idea of a lifelong conservative voter is at risk because of the tiny proportion of women under the age of 24 who would even consider voting for us. we need to deliver brexit and then we need to move forward, and the best way to do that is with somebody who can turn the page from the bitter battles of the last three years. we need a leader notjust for the next six weeks or six months but for the next six years and beyond. we don‘t need a leaver, we don‘t need a remainer. we need a leader for the future.

that was matt hancock earlier. we will keep you up—to—date with all the developments in the contest, and there are more updates online as well. economic growth in the uk slowed in the three months to april, the latest figures from the office for national statistics show. the slowdown is blamed on a drop in car production after output was hit by the original brexit deadline. so growth for the three months to april slowed to 0.3%. the contraction in the economy in april itself was far sharper than economists had expected — at 0.4% — but as you can see from this graph, growth had already begun begun to weaken in early spring. i am joined in the studio by vicky pryce, who is the chief economic adviser at the centre for economics and business research. welcome, thank you forjoining us.

what is your reaction to this? it was a much sharper decrease in gdp than was anticipated. everybody expected they would be a reduction because there was stockpiling at the beginning of the year and everyone thought that we might leave on the 29th of march, we didn‘t. in anticipation of the problem is that there might be afterwards, people we re there might be afterwards, people were buying things in advance. also were buying things in advance. also we we re were buying things in advance. also we were exporting more things to the continent at the time, the economy was doing reasonably well because of that. the problem is this hasn‘t continued, mainly because we had the extension and now companies are wondering when we might be leaving, so they are unwinding some of those stockpiles. also there has been a serious weakness in our exports. looking at the latest confidence indicators and manufacturing indices that are coming out in terms of what they think will happen, export orders are weak and therefore they

are cutting back. in particular you mentioned car production. we have already seen that firms have been worried about the impact of the slowdown of their production. production figures have been brought down significantly. as you say, one aspect is the relative aspect because gdp was increased by stockpiling. but then there are other more entrenched issues. so 01:19:32,436 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 when you look
