rents. half a million will pull tumble sport now on afternoon live dryers could still pose a fire risk. with ben croucher. chris froome is chasing a fifth tour de france win this summer but why is that now a doubt? now the government demands a recall. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport. yes, in the last 10 minutes it‘s been confirmed that yes, he led the british and irish chris froome is out of the tour de lines to victory in australia and france after breaking his leg. this happened at a race called now warren gatland has been the critirium du dauphine, entrusted with the lions for a third and cyclists are allowed to do time. he will be the head coach for a recce of today‘s stage — their tour and it was on that recce time. he will be the head coach for theirtour in time. he will be the head coach for their tour in south africa in 2021, that he‘s crashed. we‘ve just had some becoming only the second man to take quotes from the team ineos principal dave brailsford who says froome, charge of the team on three "crashed in the downhill section occasions. and there is rain in the of the course at high speed. "he hit a wall. "the ambulance came quickly, he‘s been taken care of and waits hills? notjust in the hills. we are "for an helicopter to be transferred in the midst of a soggy spell of to lyon or saint—etienne. "it‘s a very serious accident. weather. we will be looking at "clearly, he won‘t be at the start potentially severe weather working of the tour de france. into parts of eastern scotland over "it‘ll take quite a long time the next 2a hours. more flooding possible from that. and we will cut before he races again." an eye on what has been going on in devastating news for chris froome who had been germany, where we have had severe going for a record equalling fifth storms, bringing some impressive tour title. more details as we have them

storms, bringing some impressive storm footage. join me later for that. thanks, chris. throughout the afternoon. the lions have named their head coach and it sounds familiar? # this is what you'll get. if it ain‘t broke don‘t fix it. also coming up — how to scupper a blackmail attempt — warren gatland hasn‘t lost a tour a hacker demanded a $150,000 as head coach of the british ransom to return part and irish lions and was always of radiohead's archive — so they released it the frontrunner to do it again. so no surprise really this morning when he was confirmed to lead the 2021 tour to south africa. to the public anyway. what it does do at least is rule him out as the next head coach of england or new zealand after the world cup this year. gatland led the lions to victory in australia and a famous drawn series in new zealand two years ago. he‘s described it as a huge honour and becomes only the second man in history to lead the squad hello, everyone — on three occasions this is afternoon live. after sir ian mcgeechan. borisjohnson has launched his campaign to become the next after the rain ruined conservative party leader, promising to deliver brexit and unite the country. the last two days play, the former foreign secretary said the cricket world cup is back underway at taunton where he didn't want to leave there‘s been a couple of really the eu without a deal, big perfomances so far. but insisted britain had to be ready to leave at the end of october, australia looked to be even if an agreement with brussels on for a really big score can't be reached. when david warner scored a century. tomorrow, mrjohnson and the nine other contenders will face the first

round of voting among conservative mps. 0ur political correspondent, chris mason, watched the launch. borisjohnson. but they wobbled when he lost his quiet and camera—shy. wicket, and mohammed amir took the initiative for pakistan, taking five wickets yeah, i'm talking about boris johnson, who has for just 30 runs. avoided publicity and tough australia 307 all out, pakistan due out to bat shortly. questions, until now. that‘s all the sport for now. i‘ll have more after 3 o‘clock. good morning, everybody. mrjohnson is the favourite we are going to go to the house of to replace theresa may commons to hear from we are going to go to the house of commons to hearfrom keir starmer. and here is a big reason why — he grabs attention and has more conservative ...a commons to hearfrom keir starmer. a cross—party motion, and at mps publicly least for a short while it even supporting him than any others, appeared to have the support of one of the conservative leadership and this is his central pitch — he is the man to deliver brexit. candidates, the international after three years and two missed deadlines, we must leave the eu element secretary but i assume after a phone call from his chief whip on october 31st and we must do that he thought better of it —— better than the current withdrawal agreement that has been international development secretary. rejected three times by parliament. mr speaker, the motion before the and let me be clear that i am not aiming for a no—deal outcome. houseis mr speaker, the motion before the i don't think we will end up house is a simple proposition. with any such thing, but it is only responsible to prepare vigorously namely that on the 25th ofjune, and seriously for no—deal. parliament and not the executive shall have control of the business of the house. that would make sure

next came the questions, that there is an opportunity for and the scrutiny mrjohnson has pretty much avoided so far. this house to bring forward a further business motion to set out you suggested that brexit at the later date a schedule for the stages of a parliamentary bill would be a straightforward relating to our departure from the win—win and actually, it has been a chaotic mess. eu. mr speaker, iwill as foreign secretary, you offended people at home and abroad, relating to our departure from the you have a reputation eu. mr speaker, i will in a moment, but i just want to set out what we for being cavalier with vital are seeking to achieve. i want to be detail, and already in this campaign, you are telling some clear, the motion before the house supporters you will do everything to avoid leaving the eu does not introduce legislation without a deal and others that you would gladly do that. it is a simple question, today. it does not specify what form if you want to be prime minister, can the country trust you? any subsequent legislation should he insisted preparing for a no—deal ta ke any subsequent legislation should take and it does not prevent the brexit but hoping to avoid one executive from seeking to pass a was not inconsistent, brexit deal. instead, it is a first because he said the eu would... rapidly come to see they have a new government with a new mandate, a new determination and limited step to make sure that to get things done. parliament cannot be locked out the and a new optimism brexit process over the coming weeks and a new confidence about what britain can do. and months. it paves the way for and i think they will respond to that. what about the many occasions parliament to take further action,

including to prevent no deal should when he has insulted people? the house consider that necessary. of course, occasionally, some plaster comes off the ceiling as a result of a phrase i may have and crucially it means that if the used or indeed as a result of the way the phrase has been taken next prime minister is foolish enough to try to pursue a no—deal out of context and interpreted brexit without gaining the consent of this house, or to pirogue parliament in order to force through by those who for reasons of their own wish to caricature my views. no deal, then a parliament would but i think it is vital have the means to prevent that. so that we as politicians remember that one of the reasons why the public feels alienated now it isa have the means to prevent that. so it is a motion which empowers parliament, and i will in one from us all as a breed is because too often, moment... it will introduce a safety they feel we are availing our language. valve in the brexit process and it they feel we are muffling will be a reminder to all and veiling our language. conservative leadership candidates and then came the inevitable that this house will take every step necessary to prevent a no deal. i question about taking cocaine. give way. will the honourable mrjohnson‘s accounts of this up to now had not been consistent. were you telling the truth gentleman to be good enough to tell and do you regret the fact us gentleman to be good enough to tell you took a class a drug? us exactly what constitutional authority he refers to when it is well, i think the canonical account of this event when i was 19 has appeared many, many times and i think what most clear on... from every people in this country really want constitutional authority, that has is to focus on in this campaign, ever been written, we operate on the

if i may say so, is basis of parliamentary government what we can do for them. and not government by parliament? did he cite an example of this being chancellor, hello. so what does the chancellor make of the man who could soon be abrogated in any constitutional prime minister and whether he can deliver brexit as he promises? authority? the bill we passed in will he be able to do it? i don't think so. march to provide or to mandate the and i have said this publicly, i think it's not sensible prime minister seeking an extension for candidates to box themselves of article 50, but we are in into a corner on this. unprecedented times. parliament has parliament will not allow a no—deal exit from the eu and our experience to have the ability to speak on this to date has suggested that it may not be that easy to agree issue. when we are facing the a deal in parliament. and behind the smiles, suggestion from some of the borisjohnson‘s supporters know leadership contenders that that some in parliament are desperate to block a no—deal brexit. parliament would be prorogued and shut out of the process, we are forced to take action. thank you for labour will be starting the process of trying to do that this afternoon. and there's another leadership giving way, and if as alarmed as i launch coming today, from the home secretary sajid javid, am by the cavalier way in which but he knows, they all know, this certain leadership contenders is the campaign they have to beat. chris mason, bbc news, fighting the leadership election for and westminster. the party opposite seem to think

that they can cast parliament aside, let's cross to the commons now, where labour is tabling to make sure they can have their a cross—party motion to try to take control of the agenda in the house no—deal brexit when it is quite of commons to prevent the uk leaving clear that this parliament will not allow a no—deal brexit to pass? and the eu without a deal. isn't it absolutely be responsible and right thing to do to give this we are expecting that to happen in the next hour or so. in the parliament the chance to prevent shenanigans of that outrageous kind? meantime, they are discussing the greenhouse gas emissions statement from the business secretary, but we will return to the house if anything i agree with every word of that happens of note. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young is in the central lobby intervention. mr speaker, this is a of the houses of parliament. simple proposition but it is also an looking at borisjohnson‘s launch important one, let me just address this morning, it was well managed, why. primarily it is because after wasn't it? yes, you got the impression that he and his people nine years of austerity a no—deal just wanted him to be able to get through it without any gaffes. so brexit would make for huge social and economic challenges the country the speech, by his standards, was a already faces much, much worse. it bit flat. there wasn't a lot of would in the words... in a moment, detail. what i found striking was that when he talked about brexit, he and it would be an active economic really talks about it as a chore now. he wasn't setting out a positive vision for life outside the lu na cy and it would be an active economic lunacy in the of a manufactory ——

eu, he was talking about something that needed to get done because if it didn't get done, he thinks it manufacturing industry. toyota has will destroy the conservative party, said no deal would be terrible and under pressure of cost from nigel it would create additional farage's brexit party. that is what challenges, for example, and has changed in borisjohnson‘s yesterday i was with gmb executives at the ford plant who were clear fortu nes has changed in borisjohnson‘s fortunes over the last year. a year about the appalling impact of no ago, tory mps had written off his deal onjobs. chances of ever becoming leader of their party. but the enemy has about the appalling impact of no deal on jobs. would about the appalling impact of no deal onjobs. would he about the appalling impact of no deal on jobs. would he agree that it changed, and the tories have seen, is in exceptional circumstances where both the trade union congress and the cbi are saying exactly the in the european elections, having same thing, that no deal is their votes taken from them by nigel farage, and many of them now feel, utterly... studio: we will go back despite private reservations about mrjohnson, that he is the one who to the house of commons for the can get those voters back. but the vote, because the debate could take scrutiny will continue even though he did swerve a lot of the difficult some time, but we will return later. questions today. he dodged them, he didn't swerve them! i think it's the environmental campaigners have been questioning the government‘s plans to cut greenhouse gases same thing. he didn't really answer to almost zero by 2050. about whether he had taken cocaine some have suggested that the target date is too late to protect oi’ about whether he had taken cocaine or not. in the past, he has given the climate, and others fear that the task is impossible. various answers to that question. he the prime minister said reducing just didn't talk about it. he said pollution would also benefit public health and cut nhs costs.

people were not interested in it. he said they are interested in what you so, is it realistic that the uk can deliver as prime minister. of could ever reach this target, course, journalists were pretty given we‘re reliant on goods angry about the fact that he didn't a nswer and services from around the world? angry about the fact that he didn't answer many of the questions. he what kind of changes to our lives would we have to make? only took six questions. journalists we re and how could we achieve this? only took six questions. journalists were booed when they asked difficult with me now is our correspondent justin rowlatt, whose family ones, but the truth is that it doesn't matter what journalists attempted to go green more ones, but the truth is that it doesn't matter whatjournalists and than a decade ago by selling what people are watching think their car and making every effort u nless what people are watching think unless they are members of the to reduce their carbon footprint. conservative party. they are the i‘m alsojoined by drjo house, a former government environment ones who will decide whether boris adviser who now works for the cabot institue johnson becomes leader and the next for the environment prime minister. it is only if he at the university of bristol. does that the scrutiny will be much this is a clip ofjustin‘s struggle broaderfrom wider does that the scrutiny will be much broader from wider voters. took me to go green. what really persuaded through what is happening in terms of this labour motion to try and stop a new deal brexit. we have been us we here before, haven't we? it is a to go green. what really persuaded us we could live car free was the day our baby was born back in may. strategy they have used to try and stop a no—deal brexit. they want to present someone like borisjohnson and the other candidates who have said they are willing to leave on contractions started at 2pm and with 0ctober said they are willing to leave on no carand october the 31st with or without a contractions started at 2pm and with no car and late at night, we walked deal, they are trying to stop that to hospital, it is pretty close by. happening. the first step in that is to ta ke happening. the first step in that is to take control of a day's business

in the house of commons. that is 15 long hours later and also unusual. it was a tight vote last arrived. if we can get through the time. only got through by one vote. birth of a child without a car, we 0n the 25th ofjune, they are reckon we can live without it permanently. —— elsa arrived. planning for backbenchers to have control over the agenda and they will try and bring forward some kind of legislation. we don't know the reckon we can live without it permanently. -- elsa arrived. it was your wife! not we... anyway, details, but it would be to try and tie the hands of a future prime minister who was determined to get a permanently. -- elsa arrived. it was yourwife! not we... anyway, give permanently. -- elsa arrived. it was your wife! not we... anyway, give us no—deal brexit through parliament, a picture, because you gave up your even though the majority of those in the house of commons don't want that to happen. vicki, thank you. let's carand a picture, because you gave up your car and pretty much everything we regard as essential, how easy was it? different things had different show you what is happening in the house of commons again. greg clark, degrees of difficulty, we live in coundon and the car was quite easy, for journeys within the industrial strategy secretary, is still on his feet, taking coundon and the car was quite easy, forjourneys within london it was easy, but tough to travel elsewhere questions about the greenhouse gas emissions statement. if there is any —— we live in london. we now have move on that motion, we will return four kids, i must confess, so there. getting on a train is difficult and the government has announced expensive. what is the co2 emissions ambitious plans to cut net greenhouse gas emissions in the uk ofan expensive. what is the co2 emissions of an extra child? it is huge, the to almost zero by 2050, in order to tackle global warming.

most carbon intensive than you can britain is the first major nation to propose the target, do because they consume all the which would be enshrined in law. carbon we consume. flights, one year the prime minister said reducing pollution would also benefit public health and cut nhs costs. you can get away without vinyl some say the drive is too holiday, but would you want to do that for ever? —— without flying to late to avert serious damage to the climate — but others fear the ambition will be go on holiday. your wife found it impossible to achieve. 0ur environment analyst, roger harrabin, has more details. tough? yes, she did, but i did fly carbon pollution from fossil fuels. it's helped drive our economies and increase our wealth for more than 200 years. tough? yes, she did, but i did fly to jamaica at one stage. we argued it was journalistically essential now, in the uk by 2050, and we don‘t need to debate that it'll have to stop. now, but it was hard. ifound to ensure that we make our and we don‘t need to debate that now, but it was hard. i found the contribution to dealing with climate diet very hard. i became a vegan for change by laying the legislation a month and ifound that for a net—zero target by 2050 today. diet very hard. i became a vegan for a month and i found that hard. this puts us on the path to become diet very hard. i became a vegan for a month and ifound that hard. i lost weight, though, it was very good for me but it was a tough thing the first major economy to set a net to do. it was hard and we turned the zero emissions target in law. thermostat down and did all of that. the announcement has won applause. in terms of direct emissions we may be reduced in by about 50%, but when you look at all the emissions that i think it's very welcome, it is the first major are emitted on your behalf across

economy to set this target, the economy it was more like 20%, which tells us something important which is the target which will get us to where we need to be globally. that individuals are part of the it sends a very strong message solution but as a society we need to to developed countries — you need to come along get together and make big changes and do this too. and it sends a very important across society. i want to talk about message to developing countries that developed countries are taking their responsibility seriously. the principle of the government in many ways, the clean energy target, is it realistic? yes, it is. revolution will be a quiet revolution you won't even notice. there has been a very detailed we'll be driving electric cars, for instance, but is this report by the committee on climate an electric car or is it petrol? change that sets out how we can i don't know, do you? achieve that pathway and how much it so what about inside? will cost. is the timescale realistic? 2050 is realistic, it well, your gas boiler will be replaced by a hydrogen boiler. will take a lot of effort and you won't notice that either. there's a lot that needs to be done and your electrical goods will be across the whole economy, a lot for running on electrons individuals to do and a lot for generated by clean energy, government to do in order to facilitate people to be able to make not by gas. the choices which are affordable to them, and a lot for businesses, so for all parties to do, but it is realistic. we are getting lots of cutting emissions to zero will mean questions on this, an e—mailfrom more gadgets like this cuebot which sprays insulation terry, with so many ships and planes

under your floorboards. making journeys, how can a small island nation like the uk have an low carbon revolution? impact on reducing emissions?m island nation like the uk have an impact on reducing emissions? it is not just impact on reducing emissions? it is notjust ships impact on reducing emissions? it is not just ships and impact on reducing emissions? it is notjust ships and planes but all the target will be meaningless the industries across the world and if we don't have the people you have got to wonder, donald trump wanting to make it happen and there is a research base out is not going to be bearing down on there which is showing that people carbon emissions in america so why want to make it happen. should we do this? it is about weather they really understand what it will cost and what it means leadership and what theresa may for them on a day—to—day basis, that's a big question. said, we lead the world in the climate change is a hot political industrial revolution and she wants issue in many countries now, but global emissions to see britain at leading the world ina green to see britain at leading the world in a green revolution which would are still growing. begin to tackle the issue of climate the british government may change. is that our role? i agree, try to achieve its climate targets by paying countries like india to cut emissions on its it is notjust a moral crusade but behalf if it's cheaper. what is good for us in the long term, the solutions for climate but that's controversial. change are also solutions for other and so is a plan to review the uk things which will improve air targets after five years, to see if other nations are following. quality and renewable energy has already come down a lot in price, so rather than giving business the real having renewable energy will be confidence that business needs cheaperin having renewable energy will be cheaper in the long run. insulating in order to be able to go forward your hopes will be cheap in the long and invest in the green economy, run. it is things which will improve they are saying that after five years, they will see whether anyone our lives in the long run at home else is following us. and notjust if the government wants to claim our lives in the long run at home and not just globally, our lives in the long run at home and notjust globally, but there is

it is showing climate leadership, that is not about dithering the door also the global incentive, plastic and constantly looking pollutions is big in the news and over your shoulder as to whether or people feel they want to reduce not anyone is following you, their own personal plastic pollution it is setting a trajectory, giving businesses the confidence it and reduce litter and it was the same with climate change. whatever needs and demonstrating that there is a real commitment to this way forward. we can do is important. rodney says and what about other weak points in the government's case, like planes? britain has been hitting is that a more efficient way to run overall emissions targets aeroplanes that would reduce carbon so far, but it is slipping emissions? my understanding is that on future medium—term goals. what's more, ministers are expanding heathrow, building different aeroplanes do have more roads and encouraging fracking. different aeroplanes do have how do these carbon—intensive different efficiencies and so you policies meet the urgent need can different efficiencies and so you ca n fly different efficiencies and so you can fly more efficient aeroplanes to protect this fragile planet? but it is best not to fly at all. there are groups who are looking at alternative fuels for aeroplanes in half an hour, we'll be speaking like biofuels and different to the journalistjustin rowlatt, the so—called ethical man whose technologies, but the best thing we family took on a challenge to reduce their impact can do at the moment is to try and on the environment for a year — reduce unnecessary as well as drjo house, who has advised the government can do at the moment is to try and reduce unnecessary flights, so it does not mean no one can ever visit on climate change. you can send them your questions their family, but some people about how we can reduce our carbon including myself as an international footprint by texting 61124, scientist fly quite frequently and i tweeting using the hashtag bbc try to reduce the amount of flights itake. it ask this, or email try to reduce the amount of flights i take. it is about frequent flyers

doing less and only taking the flights you need to take, it is askthis@bbc.co.uk. perfectly easy to get trains to aberdeen and edinburgh. i live in you can also send me a question the south and my father travels down by trying to see me, so it's about directly at my twitter account. you have 20 minutes to get a those things you can do, can you ta ke those things you can do, can you take the train across to europe? questioning. —— a question in those where do you sit on the plane?|j two. the former football coach bob take the train across to europe? where do you sit on the plane? i sit in cattle class. the reason i ask higgins has beenjailed for sexually abusing young boys. it took place that, it matters where you sit? the between 1971 and 1996. the judge more people you have on the plane called higgins cunning and the more efficient it is, so if we manipulative. duncan kennedy is we re the more efficient it is, so if we were to get rid of business, and outside winchester crown court for us now. first class, you would have more outside winchester crown court for us now. simon, this has been a space and you could pack more people devastating experience for these in and the carbon cost for each men. a number of them have been in the witness box here at the court individual therefore would be lower, over the past couple of days during and there are experiments with the sentencing process to tell the world what it has done to them, all battery powered planes and they probably won‘t be successful, if you the abuse they suffered many years think of the size of a battery would ago. they have spoken of their need to fly a reasonably —sized

angen ago. they have spoken of their anger, their depression. some have passenger plane, that would be huge had suicidal thoughts. 0thers anger, their depression. some have had suicidal thoughts. others have and impossible for them to work. attempted suicide. they are also there are attempts to make more angry at the football authorities, efficient planes but as joe there are attempts to make more asking, where were the fa, where efficient planes but asjoe said, more efficient passenger planes are we re asking, where were the fa, where were southampton football club, a way off. robin says how does a where was peterborough united when all this abuse was going on? or that flight a way off. robin says how does a flight compare against other forms is directed at the authorities, but of carbon uses such as a gas cooker? their anger is also directed at bob i see what he is getting at, flying higgins himself, who today was given 24 higgins himself, who today was given 2a years injail. normally is hugely more carbon producing than for example cooking, these are some of the men whose andi producing than for example cooking, and i think for me heating, boyhood dreams of playing football at the highest level were crushed electricity and heating my home was by the perversions of the same as the carbon cost of one the coach they trusted. their identities family holiday so that gives you an are protected by law, idea, the same as the car over an but some of them have decided to set that right aside entire year. it is huge. time to to express their lifelong sense of despair. dream has said, given how long it football was our lives, football was our dreams, has taken to deliver high—speed football was all that mattered to us. broadband, how realistic is it we we would have done anything to become professional footballers. can replace all these vehicles with bob higgins used our desire and our determination as a tool to exploit our vulnerability, more carbon friendly alternatives by

for his own sexual gratification. 2050? it is very ambitious and it is bob higgins abused young footballing hopefuls for 25 years. a matter of when those cars come to we coach them in the mornings. the end of life, choosing ones which we have the cup competition are run on electricity or injapan in the afternoon. they have invested in the hydrogen from the 1970s to the 1990s, economy forecast, so it can be done. he went from club to club and used his position it is very ambitious and we need to as youth coach to assault boys. put efforts in place, for example he was head of youth development at southampton football club the legislation that has come out is and trained future england stars absently fantastic and it can potentially move things forward. —— like matt le tissier absolutely. the paris agreement, we and alan shearer, although there is no suggestion did not have any new legislation that they were abused by higgins. really, in order to put those things have you ever engaged in any behaviour... in place, but now we have this new higgins, who also worked piece of legislation and we also for peterborough united, refused to answer police questions. need to put things in place with but now he's been found guilty incentives, tax incentives, with of indecently assaulting 25 boys. different support for groups of during sentencing, those boys — who are now middle—aged men — were tearful in their condemnation people so we can make this possible. of higgins. ca rs people so we can make this possible. 0ne looked at him and said, cars is a bit easier because we know "i had a dream to be a footballer, the technology is there and we know you created a nightmare." they work but the question is. 0thers spoke of their depression,

south of germany, just to the west artist out of the equation. neil, of munich. there is a lake in the thanks forjoining us. there is a foothills of the alps, and they have huge argument for not doing things had these massive thunderstorms that have brought a very large tale. talk life and finishing them —— live. about golf ball size hail coming down here. it looks incredible. that there is proof here now with the weather forecast. is stunning. i was looking at those no guarantees! thank you for that. in your office earlier, and those are pictures where you just go, we have had lots of heavy rain over well. you wouldn't want to be out in the last few days and more wet weather to come. holbeach has picked that, but these are not record—breaking hailstones. these up weather to come. holbeach has picked up this amount of rain since sunday are about golf ball sized. it would evening, that is twice the amount we hurt if they hit you. it would, but would see normally in the month of june. we have more rain on the way. in dakota in 2010, there was a hailstone that had a diameter of 20 we have rain pouring down across centimetres across. they reckon that eastern anglia —— east anglia and was one of the biggest in the world. that would hurt. it weighed in at the south—east, so that is not great 0.88 ofa that would hurt. it weighed in at 0.88 of a kilogram, nearly one news. may be a few problems on the kilogram of ice coming down on your head at 100 miles an hour. some roads. we have a line of thunderstorms developing across remarkable images there and some germany and those storms will come across the north sea and come into grim images here. are we all having the north—east of england and the same problem? well, the eastern scotland with a risk of

interesting thing is that these further flooding here. eastern scotland with a risk of furtherflooding here. more heavy rain and there are likely to be thunderstorms in germany are part of problems in the next 2a—hour. german the same area of low pressure that thunderstorms come in as we go has been bringing us colossalfalls through the night, rain turning of rain. you don't need me to tell you how wet the weather has been. heavy and persistent, across parts of eastern scotland and eastern this is what we have seen since england, it will be a mild night for sunday evening time. holbeach, 105 most, thanks to the cloudy skies but the focus has to be on the wet millimetres, nearly two months‘ worth of rainfall in just four days. weather and the met office have issued an amber weather warning for the rain. the epicentre really and we have got more rain to come. focused on south—east scotland, the initial problems this afternoon where over the hills we could be could be felt across east anglia and looking at 80—100 millimetres of south—east england, where we have rain which would cause flooding heavy rain and thunderstorms issues on the roads and it could forming. we have a line of thunderstorms working into western and central germany and this band is affect the railway network. notjust across the south east of scotland, going to rotate around our area of and the rain will be extensive low pressure and come across across a good part of north—east north—east england and south—east england and the pennines and into scotland. so we are going to see the north—west. to the south on further flooding scotland. so we are going to see furtherflooding problems scotland. so we are going to see further flooding problems over the next 2a hours. further flooding problems over the next 24 hours. tell us what is in thursday, heavy and potentially thundery showers will develop but store. so that line of thunderstorms sunshine will be in short supply, in germany, here it is coming in not just another very wet day but also cool for the time of year, and

across north—east england, the exception will be the south—east south—eastern parts of scotland. but the rain will be extensive across where we could have a few brighter northern england and southern spells lifting the temperatures. the scotland. wet weather also for wales area of low pressure is going and south—west england. not a cold nowhere fast and that means on night on account of the cloud, but friday we have more wet weather on the rain take centre stage. the met the way. whether one pushing east 0ffice the rain take centre stage. the met office has an amber weather warning across the uk. —— weather fronts across south—east scotland, where we could be looking at 80 to 100 pushing east. maybe may be a few millimetres of rain. the rain will come down really heavily throughout sunny spells and maybe a few more in the south—east and east anglia, the whole of the night—time and much of thursday. so that rainfall is helping it to reach 19 but otherwise the temperatures are disappointing for the time of year and the accumulating, building up to as much u nsettled for the time of year and the unsettled theme is set to continue as 100 millimetres, bringing the over the weekend and for some into risk of flooding across this part of next week with more rain in the the uk. eastern scotland and eastern forecast especially over the north areas of england. for the rest of and west of the country. east anglia thursday, there will be plenty of and west of the country. east anglia and the south—east this afternoon downpours across parts of the and the south—east this afternoon and this evening, very heavy rain, midlands and south—west england. maybe a bit of sunshine across the and this evening, very heavy rain, and then north—east england overnight, to watch out for. south—east of england, helping boost temperatures. 0therwise, south—east of england, helping boost temperatures. otherwise, it‘s another cool and for some, another exceptionally wet june day. another cool and for some, another exceptionally wetjune day. our area of low pressure that we have seen loitering for the last few days is

still with us for friday. we will see further downpours building in. some of those could be quite lengthy. thunderstorms are a possibility, but there will be more sunshine between the showers. not that this is a great kind of day, but we could see temperatures sneaking up. so it is a modest improvement in the weather. through the weekend and the first part of next week, it stays pretty u nsettled. next week, it stays pretty unsettled. so there will be further heavy showers rotating around our area of low pressure. in the short term, the risk of heavy rain across east anglia and south—east england could cause problems. 0vernight and into thursday, the focus is on eastern scotland and north—east england, where we could see further 00:29:45,868 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 flooding issues. hello, you‘re watching afternoon live — i‘m simon mccoy. today at 3... borisjohnson launches his campaign for the conservative party leadership by promising to deliver brexit by the end of october. delay means defeat.

delay means corbyn. kick the can again, and we kick the bucket. this is the scene live in the house of commons, where mps are debating a labour motion to try to block to block a no—deal brexit. a new plan to tackle climate change — the uk commits to cut greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. this puts us on the path to become the first major economy to set a net zero emissions target in law. police fire rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters in hong kong — where anger at a new extradition bill has spilled over into violence. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport — ben. bad news from the cycling? terrible news for chris froome. he is out of the tour de france. he was chasing a record equalling fifth title there. his whole season was geared up for it, but he has crashed into a wall while doing a recce at another race

in france, suffering a suspected broken leg. wants more details later. chris has been waiting patiently to bring us the weather. i have, not that it‘s with me being here because it‘s more of the same. we have seen some flooding problems over the last few days and we have got more of that to come. and it is not just our weather that has got more of that to come. and it is notjust our weather that has been severe. we will be looking at southern germany, where they have had severe thunderstorms over recent days. this is afternoon live. i‘m simon mccoy. boris johnson this is afternoon live. i‘m simon mccoy. borisjohnson has launched his campaign to become the next conservative party leader, promising to deliver brexit and to unite the country. he said he doesn‘t want to leave the eu without a deal, but insists that britain has to be ready to leave at the end of october, even ifan to leave at the end of october, even if an agreement with brussels cannot be reached. tomorrow mrjohnson and the nine other contenders will face

the nine other contenders will face the first round of voting among conservative mps. shortly, sajid javid presents his bid. chris mason watched boris johnson‘s javid presents his bid. chris mason watched borisjohnson‘s launch. borisjohnson. quiet and camera—shy. yeah, i‘m talking about boris johnson, who has avoided publicity and tough questions, until now. good morning, everybody. mrjohnson is the favourite to replace theresa may and here is a big reason why — he grabs attention and has more conservative mps publicly supporting him than any others, and this is his central pitch — he is the man to deliver brexit. after three years and two missed deadlines, we must leave the eu on october 31st and we must do better than the current withdrawal agreement that has been rejected three times by parliament. and let me be clear that i am not aiming for a no—deal outcome. i don‘t think we will end up with any such thing, but it is only responsible to prepare vigorously and seriously for no—deal.

next came the questions, and the scrutiny mrjohnson has pretty much ducked so far. you suggested that brexit would be a straightforward win—win and actually, it's been a chaotic mess. as foreign secretary, you offended people at home and abroad, you have a reputation for being cavalier with vital detail, and already in this campaign, you are telling some supporters you will do everything to avoid leaving the eu without a deal and others that you would gladly do that. it is a simple question, if you want to be prime minister, can the country trust you? he insisted preparing for a no—deal brexit but hoping to avoid one was not inconsistent, because he said the eu would... rapidly come to see they have a new government with a new mandate, a new determination to get things done. and a new optimism and a new confidence about what britain can do. and i think they will

respond to that. what about the many occasions when he has insulted people? of course, occasionally, some plaster comes off the ceiling as a result of a phrase i may have used or indeed as a result of the way that phrase has been wrenched out of context and interpreted by those who, for reasons of their own, wish to caricature my views. but i think it is vital that we as politicians remember that one of the reasons why the public feels alienated now from us all as a breed is because too often, they feel we are muffling and veiling our language. and then came the inevitable question about taking cocaine. mrjohnson‘s accounts of this up to now have not been consistent. were you telling the truth then and do you regret the fact that you took a class a drug? well, i think the canonical account of this event when i was 19 has appeared many,

many times and i think what most people in this country really want us to focus on in this campaign, if i may say so, is what we can do for them. chancellor, hello. so what does the chancellor make of the man who could soon be prime minister and whether he can deliver brexit as he promises? will he be able to do it? i don't think so. and i have said this publicly, i think it's not sensible for candidates to box themselves into a corner on this. parliament will not allow a no—deal exit from the eu and our experience to date has suggested that it may not be that easy to agree a deal in parliament. labour has been tabling a cross— party labour has been tabling a cross—party mission to try to take control of the commons to begin moves to prevent a no—deal brexit. the shadow brexit secretary sir keir

starmer. it is a first unlimited step to ensure that parliament cannot be locked out of the brexit process over the coming weeks and months. mr speaker, it paves the way for parliament to take further action, including to prevent no deal, should the house consider that necessary. and crucially, it means that if the next prime minister is foolish enough to try to pursue a no—deal brexit without gaining the content no—deal brexit without gaining the co nte nt of no—deal brexit without gaining the content of this house, or to prorogue parliament in order to force through no deal, then parliament would have the means to prevent that. so it‘s a motion that empowers parliament. it will introduce a safety valve in the brexit process, and it will be a reminder to all conservative leadership candidates that this house will take every step necessary to prevent a no deal. this is stephen barclay, the brexit

secretary. let‘s hear some of what he had to say. what is the purpose, mr speaker, of having a select committee to look at procedures of this house, if it is not consulted on something so fundamental as a tinge of this nature? can he be very clear? is he saying on behalf of her majesty‘s government that they accept and agree that a new prime minister could prorogue parliament deliberately, in the face of this place persistently voting again against leaving without a deal, prorogue parliament specifically to impose that very no deal without any say, anything to do with this parliament, yes or no? what i am

saying to the right honourable lady is that i speak as a minister on behalf of this government and this prime minister has made her position clear in terms of where she and the cabinet stand on the issue of prorogation. that is a clear position that the prime minister has set out. i also set out the risk of any deviation from that because i think there is a consensus across the house in terms of avoiding any suggestion of bringing her majesty into something that is a royal prerogative issue. incidentally, there is no mention in the opposition day debate of the word prorogation. it is not even mentioned in the text. so we have a fundamental change. they don't want to actually deal with the issue on which the house is voting on. she doesn't want to deal with the issue

of the house is voting on, which is what is in the opposition day motion, and it is to take over the order papera motion, and it is to take over the order paper a fundamental change. those on the opposite benches who look to be in government in the future will need to reflect on this. it isa future will need to reflect on this. it is a fundamental change to the way this house operates, without any consultation with the procedure committee. if people want to support that, what is the purpose of the procedure committee? that is stephen barclay, the brexit secretary. we reckon around four o‘clock, we will attempt to bring you that result. let‘s bring in our chief political correspondent vicki young. she is in central london. you and i will be sharing a sense of deja vu with all this, but it underlines that whoever the next conservative leader is, this still is not going to be an easy task. we have heard from boris johnson and you will soon be hearing

from sajid javid over there? yes, and the key question for so many of these leadership contenders is that some of them say they want to leave with or without a deal at the end of 0ctober, with or without a deal at the end of october, or they want to renegotiate a deal by then. but do they have time and why did they think they can achieve anything different to anything that theresa may managed to do? and what happens if parliament does block no deal? what you‘re saying today in parliament is an attempt by labour and other opposition parties to take control again ofa opposition parties to take control again of a day in the house of commons when they can try and bring toa commons when they can try and bring to a law. they have done it before. this is not just to a law. they have done it before. this is notjust an empty threat. they want to do this on the 25th of june, somehow try to tie the hands ofa june, somehow try to tie the hands of a future prime minister who would wa nt to of a future prime minister who would want to head towards no deal. the question for all of the leadership candidates is, what would you do then? what is your plan if that were to happen? so we will see in the next few minutes whether the commons has been successful in trying to achieve that. you can hearfrom the government that they are not at all

keen on the idea, but it shows the problem. the numbers in parliament do not change just because the prime minister changes. and in terms of what we heard from borisjohnson, a slight lessening, if you like, of the previous thoughts that he was pretty gung ho about a no deal and would do that whatever. he was saying today that he still wants to have a deal? yes, here again is one of those who says he can get a better deal, that despite what the eu are saying, which is that they are not going to reopen the withdrawal agreement, he is suggesting that he can manage to do that. i suppose his argument would be that a different leader brings a different dynamic. he says no deal needs to be on the table and preparations need to be made because only then with the eu know that they are serious about it. whether that is achievable is another matter, but he made it clear that it is not his aim to head for no deal. he will have to have a balancing act, like all the others. a lot of his

supporters are from the european research group. some of them are happy with a no—deal brexit. 0thers who are supporting him say they think borisjohnson would not go for that. so yet again, to lead the conservative party, you have to bring together people who have very different views. we have also been hearing from scotland and some proposals? yes, this is ahead of sajid javid‘s launch, which is happening here in the next few minutes. their campaign has been boosted by support from ruth davidson, the leader of the tories in scotland. she has been outlining why she is backing mrjavid to be the leader. i think the best way to avoid no deal is to get a deal across the line, and cited has the most credible plan for doing that. we know that you have said they will not renegotiate. we know they have disbanded their negotiating team. 0ne disbanded their negotiating team. one of the ways to unpick the blocks in the house of commons is to deal directly with the irish government

to talk about the backstop in a bilateral way, and that is what sajid, uniquely among the candidates, is prepared to do. that is the best way to get a deal across the line. so there are sure to be questions about brexit and mr javid‘s approach to that. but there will also be a lot about his background. they have launched a campaign video very much concentrating on the fact that he is the son of a pakistani bus driver who came here as an immigrant. he has gone back in that video to look at where he lived in rochdale, and he is trying to portray himself as the candidate for change, saying he is someone who doesn‘t look like many people expect a conservative minister to look like, and he said that enshrines the kind of change the conservative party needs. these places are always noisy, aren‘t they, vicki? you can hear that there is tea and coffee and cakes, so we are going to go now! see you later, vicki young! the government has announced

ambitious plans to cut net greenhouse gas emissions in the uk to almost zero by 2050, in order to tackle global warming. britain is the first major nation to propose the target, which would be enshrined in law. the prime minister said reducing pollution would also benefit public health and cut nhs costs. some say the drive is too late to avert serious damage to the climate — but others fear the ambition will be impossible to achieve. 0ur environment analyst, roger harrabin, has more details. carbon pollution from fossil fuels. it‘s helped drive our economies and increase our wealth for more than 200 years. now, in the uk by 2050, it‘ll have to stop. to ensure that we make our contribution to dealing with climate change by laying the legislation for a net—zero target by 2050 today. this puts us on the path to become the first major economy to set a net zero emissions target in law.

the announcement has won applause. i think it's very welcome, it is the first major economy to set this target, which is the target which will get us to where we need to be globally. it sends a very strong message to developed countries — you need to come along and do this too. and it sends a very important message to developing countries that developed countries are taking their responsibility seriously. in many ways, the clean energy revolution will be a quiet revolution you won‘t even notice. we‘ll be driving electric cars, for instance, but is this an electric car or is it petrol? i don‘t know, do you? so what about inside the house? well, your gas boiler will be replaced by a hydrogen boiler. you won‘t notice that either. and your electrical goods will be running on electrons generated by clean energy, not by gas. cutting emissions to zero will mean more gadgets like this q-bot which sprays insulation

under your floorboards. but the scale of the challenge to make the uk‘s homes energy efficient is immense, so will the public buy into this low carbon revolution? the target will be meaningless if we don‘t have the people wanting to make it happen and there is a research base out there which is showing that people want to make it happen. weather they really understand what it will cost and what it means for them on a day—to—day basis, that‘s a big question. climate change is a hot political issue in many countries now, but global emissions are still growing. the british government may try to achieve its climate targets by paying countries like india to cut emissions on its behalf if it‘s cheaper. but that‘s controversial. and so is a plan to review the uk targets after five years, to see if other nations are following. rather than giving business the real confidence that business needs in order to be able to go forward and invest in the green economy, they are saying that after five years, they will see whether anyone

else is following us. if the government wants to claim it is showing climate leadership, that is not about dithering the door and constantly looking over your shoulder as to whether or not anyone is following you, it is setting a trajectory, giving businesses the confidence it needs and demonstrating that there is a real commitment to this way forward. and what about other weak points in the government‘s case, like planes? britain has been hitting overall emissions targets so far, but it is slipping on future medium—term goals. what‘s more, ministers are expanding heathrow, building more roads and encouraging fracking. how do these carbon—intensive policies meet the urgent need to protect this fragile planet? jim skea is the co—chair of the intergovernmental panel on climate change working group iii, which deals with the mitigation of climate change. he is also a professor at imperial college in london and joins me now.

this is a big deal. it is. the countries of the world agreed three yea rs countries of the world agreed three years ago under the paris agreement to get net zero globally, and you would expect developed countries like the uk to take a lead and go ahead. but the uk is the first one to produce a hard target. the plan is to put it into legislation, and thenit is to put it into legislation, and then it would be difficult to go back on it, whereas other countries have made more political declarations that could be perhaps more quietly forgotten about. 2050 is not far off in terms of the sort of thing is we are expecting everybody to do. everybody needs to change their ways. yes, and we need to start on this quickly because if we don‘t make a difference in the next couple of years and get started on it, the opportunity for net zero will slip away. how long have we got? it is not about how long we have got, we almost need to start immediately. it is not about saving

the world in 12 years, get on with it in12 the world in 12 years, get on with it in 12 months is the message we want. and what sort of things are we, as everyday consumers, not necessarily worrying about flights and things like that, butjust our daily lives, what needs to change? there are probably three things that would involve people perhaps doing things differently. the first one is how you heat your home, which roger harrabin was talking about, how we travel and more controversially, the issue of what we eat, which is a more tricky issue. the ipcc, which i belong to, is never going to tell people what to eat, but we would point out that if people followed advice on healthy diets, it would certainly make it easier to reach these long—term targets. certainly make it easier to reach these long-term targets. would a vegetarian diet help the planet dramatically? it would help the planet. that is undoubtedly the case. it would change emissions from agriculture upstream if we changed our diets. professor, what do you say to people who say, it is all

very well that the uk takes a lead on this, but it is china, india and the united states, these are the countries that need to act. whatever we do will make a minimal difference. well, climate change is a collective issue, so we all need to work together on this. if we attach blame to other countries, the only guarantee we will get is that we will not succeed in dealing with climate change. so you do need to look at the other countries and see the things they are doing. china has the things they are doing. china has the biggest deployment of renewable energy globally, the biggest deployment of electric vehicles. i know indian cement companies that have net zero targets of their own for their industry because they are building the newest cement plants in the world. so people are doing things overseas and we have to see what we are doing. it‘s not a unilateral effort, it is a leading pa rt unilateral effort, it is a leading part of a global effort. pride is probably the wrong word to use, but how do you feel that the uk seems to be taking this lead? well, i am proud of it because this is a very

ha rd target proud of it because this is a very hard target that has been put in place. as a scot, the scottish government also has a target for 20a5 the net zero, but for a major economy, as the prime minister said, this is a first. but if you to come in and talk about it, professorjim skea. let‘s return to hong kong, and police there have fired rubber bullets and used tear gas, during serious clashes with protesters who are angry about plans to make it easier to send people to mainland china to stand trial. some of the protesters tried to get inside hong kong‘s assembly building where the extradition proposals were due to be debated. hundreds of thousands of people have occupied motorways around the government headquarters, amid the worst unrest in the territory for years. stephen mcdonnell reports from hong kong. riot police using tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets came in hard to move demonstrators out of hong kong‘s central business district.

protesters who had gathered in their tens of thousands ran for cover as the authorities moved against them block by block. earlier in the day, a large crowd gathered to oppose a move to allow extradition to the chinese mainland. this came despite an official announcement that demonstrations would not be allowed near the local government headquarters. lawyers, academics and the business community have all warned that a fair trial is not possible in courts controlled by the communist party. so, when the government decided to take this bill to its next stage, striking workers joined students and small business owners surrounding the legislature. when you talk to people who have skipped class or work to come and join what has now become an occupation, they say

they have no choice. these protesters feel the only way they can stop this bill is to take their argument to the streets and to sufficiently embarrass carrie lam and her government into backing down. but instead, the government decided to put an end to this act of mass defiance. it is getting a bit tense at the moment. the police are pushing back. and you can see there is the use of pepper spray and the like at the front. the authorities have now decided to try and clear the streets. for most, this onslaught by the police was too much to resist. for now, the authorities are back in control of the city. stephen mcdonnell, bbc news, hong kong. the former football coach, bob higgins, has beenjailed for 2a years for sexually abusing young players over a quarter of a century.

he was found guilty last month of a5 counts of indecent assault against dozens of boys between 1971 and 1996. thejudge called higgins "cunning and manipulative". 0ur correspondent, duncan kennedy, is at winchester crown court and told us more. these are some of the men whose boyhood dreams of playing football at the highest level were crushed by the perversions of the coach they trusted. their identities are protected by law, but some of them have decided to set that right aside to express their lifelong sense of despair. football was our lives, football was our dreams, football was all that mattered to us. we would have done anything to become professional footballers. bob higgins used our desire and our determination as a tool to exploit our vulnerability, for his own sexual gratification. bob higgins abused young footballing hopefuls for 25 years. we coach them in the mornings. we have the cup competition in the afternoon. from the 1970s to the 1990s,

he went from club to club and used his position as youth coach to assault boys. he was head of youth development at southampton football club and trained future england stars like matt le tissier and alan shearer, although there is no suggestion that they were abused by higgins. have you ever engaged in any behaviour... higgins, who also worked for peterborough united, refused to answer police questions. but now he‘s been found guilty of indecently assaulting 25 boys. during sentencing, those boys — who are now middle—aged men — were tearful in their condemnation of higgins. 0ne looked at him and said, "i had a dream to be a footballer, you created a nightmare." 0thers spoke of their depression, anger and thoughts of suicide. 0ne asked, "where were southampton football club and the fa?" whilst another, lamenting his lost football career, said, "i can only look back and wonder

what might have been." that sense of yearning came through for nearly every man who spoke in court, as did their anger, directed at the football authorities. the fa says it‘s carrying out its own inquiry into all abuse in football, while southampton football club said that it was deeply sorry about what had happened. these men have spent 30 years trying to overcome the damage inflicted on them, but now they‘ve been listened to. and the man who exploited their innocence and crushed their aspirations is finally facing the consequences. you may be expecting us to go over to see sajid javid launch his bid for the conservative party leadership. it was scheduled for 3.30, but that is looking doubtful because we are told that he is in fa ct because we are told that he is in fact in the house of commons. he is

attending the debate. this is the labour motion which would grant mps time to introduce further legislation on brexit. sir keir starmer has opened that debate this afternoon. we have no idea how long the debate is going to last. there are some suggestions of four o‘clock or later. but if sajid javid is expected to vote in that, it means he will not be launching his campaign well that is happening. so you have as much idea of what is going on as i do. we will keep an eye on what is going on in the house of commons and also on the sajid javid campaign. 0ther of commons and also on the sajid javid campaign. other journalists are still milling around. they have been told they will have to wait until that brexit debate is over in the house of commons. so, piece of string, how long, is the phrase that springs to mind. time for a look at the weather. here‘s chris fawkes.

these are amazing pictures from germany of a hail storm? yes, some severe thunderstorms. this video was taken at a lake just west of munich in bavaria. massive, golfball sized hail stones. i thought i would take a look at how incredible that is. hail stones. i thought i would take a look at how incredible that ism you are a fish there, you would be unconscious. that is true, but if you had a gin and tonic in your hand and you could reach out far enough, it would have been all right. that says much more about you than anything else! it's a bit early to talk about drinking gin. compared with the records, we think the heaviest hailstone ever was in bangladesh, and that weighed in at a kilogram. these were probably about 100 grams. that is a lot of gin. in

strasbourg in 1958, .5 of a kilogram. so we have had some massive hailstones in history. you have been doing your research. but this is what has been going on? yes, that was on monday that those hailstorms hit. but the area of low pressure that was responsible for those storms was also responsible for a curl of those storms was also responsible fora curl of rain those storms was also responsible for a curl of rain that was affecting parts of eastern england. we have seen torrential rain of the last four days since sunday evening. we had 105 millimetres of rain reported at holbeach, where it is still reining at the moment. compared with the monthly average, twice the amount of rain we would normally see. and we have the rain moving back in in east anglia. there could be some traffic disruption. and we have this line of thunderstorms across germany which will rotate around our area of low

pressure and could cause some flooding problems tonight.|j pressure and could cause some flooding problems tonight. i thought you were going to do yourself an injury there! tell us what is in store for the next few days. here are those german thunderstorms, working across the north sea. they will be bringing torrential rain not just tonight, but throughout the whole of thursday. this weather front is stuck, so we will see problems across this part of the uk. the met office have issued an amber weather warning for this heavy rain affecting south—east scotland, where over the hills, we could be looking at 80 to 100 millimetres of rain. that would cause significant local flooding problems. roads and rails could be affected in this part of the world as we head into thursday. the rain doesn‘t just the world as we head into thursday. the rain doesn‘tjust move away across that corner, but across a good part of england and wales, where it will be reining so much of the day tomorrow. further south, some big thunderstorms will develop. and for most of us, it is cloudy

day. it is notjust a cool day, it is an exceptionally wet day for june. we might see some sunshine poking through the clouds, which could boost temperatures, but it is still below par for the time of year. the area of low pressure means we are staying on the unsettled side. the showers will turn heavy and thundery in places. it is not a great day, friday, but more in the way sunshine those downpours. the u nsettled way sunshine those downpours. the unsettled theme is set to continue for quite a few of us as we head into the weekend, which is a weekend of sunshine and for the heavy downpours. and into next week, the weather doesn‘t show many signs of settling down, although towards the south—east, we could see some warm sunshine at times. so in the short term, we have heavy rain this evening across east anglia and

south—east england. and the main focus tonight and throughout thursday is north—east england and the south—east parts of scotland. that is where the west of the weather is likely to be, with the risk of further flooding. —— were the worst of the weather is likely to be.

this is bbc news — our latest headlines... borisjohnson launches his campaign for the conservative party leadership by promising to deliver brexit by the end of october. delay means defeat. delay means corbyn. kick the can again, and we kick the bucket. this is the scene live in the house of commons where mps are debating a labour motion to try to obtain time to begin moves to block a no—deal brexit. a new plan to tackle climate change — the uk commits to cut greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. this puts us on the path to become the first major economy to set a net zero emissions target in law. police fire rubber

bullets and tear gas at protesters in hong kong — where anger at a new extradition bill has spilled over into violence. sport now on afternoon live with ben croucher. some bad news about chris froome this afternoon. yes, pretty much as a bad as it can get really. he‘s out of the tour de france after crashing in training at another race this afternoon. 0ur sport correspondent andy swiss is with me. andy — what‘s happened? this is a huge blow for chris froome, he has been competing at a race in france, one of the traditional practice events for the tour de france which starts next month, and we know chris froome was out on a practice ride earlier today, getting out to know the course ahead of the time trial stage

in rouen but he has crashed and broken his leg, effectively. we have heard from the principle of his team, dave brailsford, it speaking to french tv, and he said... this is very worrying news and eve ryo ne this is very worrying news and everyone will be wishing chris froome a speedy recovery, but his hopes of competing in the tour de france are over. last year he finished third in the race behind his team—mate geraint thomas but he had high hopes of recording a record equalling fifth victory in the race. this is a huge blow for him but clearly the priority has to be on a speedy recovery after what is a

nasty crash. we wish him well. thanks forjoining us. well, elsewhere, warren gatland has been re—appointed head coach of the british and irish lions. their managing director says he was the first choice candidate and with his track record — it came as no real surprise. he lead a successful trip to australia in 2013 and a drawn series against new zealand‘s all blacks two years ago. he‘s described it as a huge honour and becomes only the second man in history to lead the squad on three occasions after sir ian mcgeechan. a great game in progress at taunton at the cricket world cup with pakistan chasing down 308 to surprise australia. the defending champions were put into bat and looked on course for a big total — lead by openers david warner and aaron finch. pakistan pegged them back though with mohammad amir taking five wickets. despite losing fakhar zaman early, pakistan have since progressed to 72—2.

we‘re probably not going to see a repeat of the usa‘s 13 goals from yesterday at the women‘s world cup. we‘ve got one to show you so far in the match between nigeria and south korea. it‘s a howler too. an own goal by south korea‘s kim do—yeon gifted nigeria the lead on the half hour mark. not a great deal the keeper could do about that one. nigeria have extended their lead. this was a neat finish. the other teams in this group, france and norway. you can follow this on the red button and bbc sport website. manchester united have confirmed the signing of winger danieljames from swansea city. the welshman has signed a 5—year deal with with an option to extend for a further year. united boss 0le gunnar solksjaer says james has all the attributes needed to become a manchester united player. james himself says signing for the club is one of the best days of his life. andy murray says he hopes to be back playing singles tennis by the end of the year.

he‘s due to play doubles at queen‘s next week, his first proper competition since having that resurfacing surgery on his hip injanuary. he wants to play singles again though, and thinks that‘s possible before the years out — but he‘s ruled out being ready in time for the us open in august. that‘s all the sport for now. i‘ll have more for you in the next hour. borisjohnson has officially launched his campaign to become the next conservative party leader, promising to deliver brexit. he also reiterated his commitment to leaving the eu by the end of october. the former foreign secretary is currently considered the favourite of the 10 candidates to succeed theresa may. let‘s listen to what he had to say. the people of this country deserve better from their leaders. they need courage and they need clarity and they want a resolution and that is our mission today and that is why i am standing before you because now is the time to remember our duty to

the people and the reasons for the brexit vote. it wasn‘t just about democracy. though that was fundamental. it wasn‘t just about immigration, although people were entirely reasonable about wanting national controls. i remember that campaign vividly and i think i understood some of the feelings of those who voted to leave. they wa nted those who voted to leave. they wanted to be heard. they wanted to feel that they could be part of the astonishing success of this country, they wanted to feel that their hopes and dreams were as important to the government as the desires and priorities of any metropolitan style guru or tech gain or the head of a ftse100 company —— tech king. so now is the time to unite this country and unite this society. and we cannot begin that task until we have delivered on the primary

request of the people, the big thing that they asked us to do. after three years and two missed deadlines we must leave the eu. 0n three years and two missed deadlines we must leave the eu. on october the sist. we must leave the eu. on october the 31st. applause mrjohnson was also asked some tricky questions byjournalists about controversial statements he‘d previously made. could i ask, i won‘t use the word, but you famously said f business, what would you say to ft readers who are concerned that of the cough, it might turn out to be official policy, what did you mean when you said f business? -- concerned off the cuff. i do love the financial times and! the cuff. i do love the financial times and i read your app every day, and everybody i think, if you look at my record as a campaigner and a politician i don‘t think there is anybody in the modern conservative party who can say they have done

more to stick up for business in the toughest of times... more to stick up for business in the toughest of times. .. applause after the crash, i remember vividly, there was absolute feeding frenzy in 2008, a feeding frenzy on financial services in london and everybody said we should allow the bankers to depart to xeric and new york —— xeric. and good riddance, but i thought that was a disastrous, a disastrous approach. our fantastic city in the uk economy benefits from hard—working people city in the uk economy benefits from ha rd—working people and city in the uk economy benefits from hard—working people and they are not all by the way on massive incomes in financial services, don‘t forget, half a million people in the city who depend on financial services but they are not all massive incomes.

financial services put bread on the table for people on modest incomes across london and the uk, and i will stick up for them and i will stick up stick up for them and i will stick upfor stick up for them and i will stick up for every business in this country. when i was foreign secretary, i might say, ispent country. when i was foreign secretary, i might say, i spent much of my time trying to sell this or that... michael fallon will know what it is like flying around the world, one of the most important things you have to do is a government minister, you have two cell the uk abroad. —— you have to sell. and i can tell you if i‘m lucky enough to become our leader and prime minister, they will be no more enthusiastic and committed champion and salesperson... man, just trying to think of accuracy, salesman of the uk. we can go to the house of commons and the debate on the motion to pass a vote that would

meana the motion to pass a vote that would mean a no—deal brexit can be stopped. that is the father of the house, ken clarke. i'm afraid the prime minister preferred to do all of her dealings all the way through with the european research group and she always made concessions to them and eventually they told her she has got to go so she said she was resigning, so we are now in this position when i personally believe she could have got a majority for the deal as she had finally modified it in an attempt to get cross—party support because it is obvious that the deal we need is only going to be achieved by any prime minister when we face up to the need for cross— party we face up to the need for cross—party support to get round the party divisions, both parties have got to accept a minority will rebel against any deal that comes forward but we can probably get a majority of the house to vote down the labour left and the tory right and actually get something in the national

interest through, so that is the main objective. and to listen to these arguments about why he is a pedantic thing, but we should reject it, that is, i‘m afraid, not for the first time, a rather bizarre perspective on the huge and historic events in which we are involved. this house has really got to take some control, and my final point, it might even improve the quality of the leadership debate going on in my party which needs to be improved, if we actually force some reality into the exchanges of the extremely distinguished candidates who are vying for the leadership to be the next prime minister. vince cable. it's a privilege to speak as one of the signatories of the emotion, but i want to start by paying tribute in advance to the member for west dorset —— motion. they have notjust

signed this motion but i also anticipated the potential threat to the country and also the sovereignty of the house from pariah again, we should be very grateful to him, and first of all, this is opposition day —— corroding. this motion is supported by seven different parties andl supported by seven different parties and i hope and expect there will be and i hope and expect there will be a numberof and i hope and expect there will be a number of conservatives who support this not because they share my views that we should be stopping brexit because they are concerned about the sovereignty of parliament and who are concerned about the consequences of no deal. the fingers have been pointed at the member for esher who is not here, and i think he is probably not alone in advocating prorogation as a solution to this problem, but i think he has done us a favour and we should be rather grateful to him for highlighting a risk which might not otherwise have been apparent, and i

think one of the risks is that one of the mainstream leadership candidates, having made unqualified commitments to removing britain from the eu by the 315t of october, encounters the same arithmetic as his predecessor and encounters the constraints of the withdrawal agreement and in order to avoid the humiliation of the present prime minister, feels obliged to resort to drastic action. that is the risk that we face and i'm grateful to the memberfor that we face and i'm grateful to the member for west dorset for starting a process of providing a necessary safety valve. it has already been agreed that we don't want an extensive review of all the arguments for and against no deal which have been endlessly rehearsed and we will get plenty of time to rehearse them again, but in the few minutes i want to take, it is worth drawing attention to a couple of

re ce nt drawing attention to a couple of recent developments that underline just how dangerous this concept is. we just had a visit from president trump who has reminded us about the instability of the world trading system, those who advocate leaving without a deal place their faith in something call wto rules and we know that these are worthless and the president of the united states attaches as much value to the world trade organisation as he does to the eu. he wants to destroy it, he is undermining it, he is failing to provide judges to panels which no longer work, so world trade organisation rules are not worth the paper they are written on. that is the world into which the extreme advocates of no deal want to plunge the uk. the other point which is highly topical relates to the leadership competition within the conservative party and the various

fiscal balances which have been offered to us and i suppose as an ageing pensioner on a high income i should be deeply indebted to the memberfor should be deeply indebted to the member for uxbridge for thinking about me when he formulated his tax policy but actually he is one of several candidates who threatens to blow a large hole in the provision is that the chancellor has made to deal with the no—deal brexit. it could be argued that the chancellor is excessively conservative with a small see but nevertheless he is sufficiently prudent to be aware that a no—deal brexit will do significant harm to the economy and to fiscal receipts and that there has to be some reserve provision but we entera has to be some reserve provision but we enter a period of danger in which that reserve could well be blown on promised tax cuts, and amongst the many adverse consequences of a no—deal brexit, not just the

many adverse consequences of a no—deal brexit, notjust the ones many adverse consequences of a no—deal brexit, not just the ones we are familiar with around the supply of drugs and the shock to the trading... the economy, but a serious fiscal crisis leading in turn to currency devaluation and other economic consequences, so we will no doubt debate many times in the future of the consequences of no deal but the risks are becoming more and more apparent and i think we should be grateful to those who are anticipating those dangerous and seeking to prevent us getting anywhere near them. thank you. oliver letwin. thank you. i'm delighted to follow the right honourable gentleman and much that needed to be said has already been said and so i won‘t tediously repeat that, but i want to bring out a couple of points which i don‘t think have been sufficiently brought out so far in the debate and which may influence any of those members who are still undecided about how to vote in a few minutes‘ time. the

first is this, almost everybody that has spoken has agreed that it would be wrong for the uk to leave the eu without a deal, without parliament having a chance of a decisive vote, we have no way telling advance of how that vote would go all whether parliament would have an alternative —— or. it is a very questionable question, whether there will be ultimately a majority for some alternative but we clearly need to leave and almost everyone agrees we need to leave, but the the option for parliament needs to be able to make its mind up, and one possible means of preventing that is a prorogation and i‘m concerned about that. i accept that we may be in luck and we may have a prime minister who doesn‘t seek to use

that route but i want to draw the attention of members to a point that hasn‘t come out so far, which is that it‘s not the only means by any means by which an incoming prime minister determined to leave with or without the deal could in fact avoid having a decisive vote. they don‘t need to go to the lengths of prorogation, and in fact they don‘t need to do anything, and if they do nothing, if they introduced nothing before the house of commons, which gives the house of commons an opportunity for such a vote, the house of commons will not in the absence of this motion have any such opportunity. yes, of course. my right honourable friend said that motion... studio: we are hearing the debate could end at a30 followed by a vote, and what that means, and we know that sajid javid is in the

house of commons, but we were expecting him to launch his leadership campaign shortly, and we understand he will hotfoot it to the campaign site where he would do that. journalists have been ready and waiting for him to launch his campaign but they will have to wait a bit longer. there is light at the end of the tunnel forjournalists there because there is free wine available and also beer at the campaign. vicki young has tweeted her pleasure at seeing the bar open. we will keep a close eye on... excuse me, i just we will keep a close eye on... excuse me, ijust had a cough. that is the scene at the launch, but we have no idea what time that is going to happen. could be around five o‘clock if he has a police escort

from the house of commons to the scene. there are journalists still there and for their pains they are having to put up with a glass half full, soon to be half empty by the look of how they are behaving. that is to come, sajid javid‘s launch a bit later, but the debate continues in the house of commons and we will keep an eye on. you are watching afternoon live. the rock band, radiohead, have scuppered a blackmail attempt by releasing 18 hours of previously unheard music recorded during the making of their classic album ok computer. tapes from the sessions were allegedly stolen last week, with hackers demanding nearly £120,000 for their return. in response, the band released the songs in full, with profits going to the climate change activists extinction rebellion. earlier, i spoke to the music journalist neil mccormick.

there is 18 hours of this rough and raw material that are the stepping stones to an album acclaimed as a masterpiece, these are the sketches, every little bit that the artist has made on the way to completing songs and recordings and they were hacked. radiohead were trying to get them back but they have responded with great humour and good grace by releasing the whole lot, therefore confounding those who were trying to blackmail them, and they are releasing it for charity and doing some good and now it is up to us to suffer if we want to listen to it. if you are obsessed with this album, you might think this is interesting, but if you are, like me, you think, this is awful... thom yorke has said it is not very interesting and it‘s very long. jonny greenwood has said it was never intended for public consumption.

it‘s a little cruel because every artist has sketches and drafts on the way to a completed work, and that is not really what you want anybody to see. why do you keep it, then? well, you keep it because it means something to you. there are unreleased songs on here, unfinished songs, things which might turn into bits of work later. writers keep their notebooks, people keep their work, but eventually the work, does it go into the public domain? increasingly, it does. in the record industry, our shelves are full of boxed sets with every outtake, and i listen to the whole of the basement tapes by bob dylan, 138 songs of low fidelityjamming around in a basement. how did you feel about bob dylan after that? it made me appreciate how much work had gone into the finished album.

that‘s part of the problem with the whole thing. radiohead have been forced into this position because there is a public expectation now that in this moment where everything in music is streamed and you can get every kind of alternative take, that we no longer look at the finished artistic work. we think, we want to hear all of it. it pushes the artist out of the equation. that was neil mccormick talking to me early on about the decision of radiohead to release that music which had been hacked. time for a look at the weather. we are going to see some further heavy rain likely to cause further problems over the next 2a hours.

since sunday evening we have seen a colossal amount of rain, holbeach picking up 105 millimetres of rain, nearly smack bang on twice the amount of rain we would normally expect at this time of year for the whole of the month ofjune, and there‘s more rain the way. you can see it heading into east anglia and south—east england, and of more concern is the area of thunderstorms which are developing across western germany because they will swing across the north sea and they will bring torrential downpours overnight into parts of north—east england and eastern areas of scotland. we are not likely to see further issues —— we are likely to see more issues with localised flooding and difficult travel conditions. through the evening further rain, the german thunderstorms making their presence felt across north—east england and the south east of scotland, and that is where the rain will be heaviest and there will be showers elsewhere and there will be showers elsewhere and with a lot of cloud around it won‘t be a cold night with temperatures between 8—11 but the main focus on the weather is across

the south—east of scotland where the met office have issued a amber weather warning. maybe 80—100 millimetres of rain over the hills but away from there they will also be torrential downpours here and in northern england which could cause issues on account of how persistent and how heavy that a zone of wet weather is going to be. that‘s the heavy rain coming down into thursday and south of this, a lot of cloud and south of this, a lot of cloud and heavy showers breaking out, may bea and heavy showers breaking out, may be a few brighter spells across south—east england and are in temperatures to reach 18 but for most another cloudy and cool and for some very most another cloudy and cool and for some very wet kind of day. into friday, the area of low pressure remains slow—moving and around the low we will have weather fronts bringing further bursts of rain and one of them will push across wales into southern areas of england clearing to a mixture of bright spells and showers late in the day but the showers are likely to turn heavy and thundery in places, a bit more in the way of sunshine, and we

could have temperature reaching 19 in the south—east which would not feel too bad compared with what we have seen in recent days but it feels quite unsettled still. through the weekend and into the next week over the north in particular. hello, you‘re watching afternoon live. today at a... borisjohnson launches his campaign

for the conservative party leadership by promising to deliver brexit by the end of october. delay means defeat. delay means corbyn. kick the can again, and we kick the bucket. this afternoon, a fresh attempt‘s being made in parliament to stop the uk leaving the eu without a deal. this is the scene live in the house of commons, where mps are debating a labour motion to try to block a no—deal brexit. "a moral duty to leave the world in a better condition than we inherited" — the uk commits to cut greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. this puts us on the path to become the first major economy to set a net zero emissions target in law. police fire rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters in hong kong, where anger at a new extradition bill has spilled over into violence. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport. some bad news from cycling? yes, chris froome was hoping for a record equalling tour de france title this

year, but that dream is in tatters after a training crash today. he suffered a suspected broken leg. and his team principal dave brailsford says it will be a long time before he races again. thanks, and we‘ll bejoining you for a full update just after half—past. chris fawkes has all the weather. we have had torrential rain over the last few days. the same weather system is not done with us yet, with more heavy rain on the way to parts of eastern scotland and england over the next 2a hours. join me later for more weather details. thanks. also coming up — arise sir michael — the actor and explorer sir michael palin receives his knighthood at buckingham palace. hello, everyone. this is afternoon live.

i‘m simon mccoy. borisjohnson has launched his campaign to become the next conservative party leader, promising to deliver brexit and unite the country. he says he doesn‘t want to leave the eu without a deal, but insists britain has to be ready to leave at the end of october, even if an agreement with brussels can‘t be reached. tomorrow, mrjohnson and the nine other contenders will face the first round of voting among conservative mps. sajid javid will be also presenting his bid today. our political correspondent, chris mason, watched boris johnson‘s launch. borisjohnson. quiet and camera—shy. yeah, i‘m talking about boris johnson, who‘s avoided publicity and tough questions, until now. good morning, everybody. mrjohnson is the favourite to replace theresa may and here‘s a big reason why — he grabs attention and has more conservative mps publicly supporting him than any other candidate, and this is his central pitch — he is the man to deliver brexit. after three years and two missed

deadlines, we must leave the eu on october 31st and we must do better than the current withdrawal agreement that has been rejected three times by parliament. and let me be clear that i am not aiming for a no—deal outcome. i don‘t think we will end up with any such thing, but it is only responsible to prepare vigorously and seriously for no—deal. next came the questions, and the scrutiny mrjohnson has pretty much ducked so far. you suggested that brexit would be a straightforward win—win and actually, it's been a chaotic mess. as foreign secretary, you offended people at home and abroad, you have a reputation for being cavalier with vital detail, and already in this campaign, you are telling some supporters you will do everything to avoid leaving the eu without a deal and others that you would gladly do that. it's a simple question — if you want to be prime minister, can the country trust you?

he insisted preparing for a no—deal brexit but hoping to avoid one was not inconsistent, because he said the eu would... rapidly come to see they have a new government with a new mandate, a new determination to get things done. and a new optimism and a new confidence about what britain can do. and i think they will respond to that. what about the many occasions when he has insulted people? of course, occasionally, some plaster comes off the ceiling as a result of a phrase i may have used or indeed as a result of the way that phrase has been wrenched out of context and interpreted by those who, for reasons of their own, wish to caricature my views. but i think it is vital that we as politicians remember that one of the reasons why the public feels alienated now from us all as a breed is because too often, they feel we are muffling and veiling our language, if i might put it that way. and then came the inevitable question about taking cocaine.

mrjohnson‘s accounts of this up to now have not been consistent. were you telling the truth then and do you regret the fact that you took a class a drug? well, i think the canonical account of this event when i was 19 has appeared many, many times and i think what most people in this country really want us to focus on in this campaign, if i may say so, is what we can do for them. chancellor, hello. so what does the chancellor make of the man who could soon be prime minister and whether he can deliver brexit as he promises? will he be able to do it? i don't think so. and i have said this publicly, i think it's not sensible for candidates to box themselves into a corner on this. parliament will not allow a no—deal exit from the eu and our experience to date has suggested that it may not be that easy to agree a deal in parliament.

our chief political correspondent vicki young is in westminster at sajid javid‘s launch. it is not a wine bar, which is what it looks like. but the launch has been delayed because of this debate in the house? yes, he has to devote in the house? yes, he has to devote in the debate of the house of commons, which is mps trying to take control of the parliamentary agenda to stop no deal. so he may be delayed by about an hour. as you say, they have opened up a free bar, there is food and it does look a bit like a party in a warehouse. it could be one of the liveliest launches we have had the act. also here is ruth supporting sajid javid. she has said that he embodies the kind of change that the conservative party needs to embrace and when he does get here, we will be hearing a lot about his background. he is the son of a pakistani immigrant who came to this country, became a bus driver and it is something mrjavid

talks about and there is part of his campaign video where he returns to where he was brought up in rochdale and bristol. he talks a lot about his humble origins and some of the prejudice he faced. ruth davidson feels he is the right man to become prime minister because she feels he has the right approach when it comes to brexit. i think the best way to avoid no deal is to get a deal across the line, and sajid has the most credible plan for doing that. we know the eu have said they will not renegotiate. we know they have disbanded their negotiating team. one of the ways to unpick the blocks in the house of commons is to deal directly with the irish government to talk about the backstop in a bilateral way, and that is what sajid, uniquely among the candidates, is prepared to do. that is the best way to get a deal across the line. they will have been watching boris johnson‘s launch earlier, which went as well as it could have done. yes, you get the impression from that that he and his team were just

trying to get through without any kind of gas, and he made a speech which was quite flat by the standards of borisjohnson. then it came to the questions, some difficult questions focusing on his character. he didn‘t really answer them, and there is frustration amongst journalists and maybe them, and there is frustration amongstjournalists and maybe some people watching that he did seem to swerve around those answers. but at the moment, he is trying to appeal to conservative mps. he has the largest number of mps backing him. most people think he will get to the last two on that ballot. so it is them that he is appealing to at the moment, not the wider electorate. but his supporters say he is the person who can reach out and bring the party together. but it is going to be difficult. brexit is dividing the house of commons still, and the numbers there for a new prime minister have not changed. numbers there for a new prime minister have not changedm numbers there for a new prime minister have not changed. it is still a hung parliament. what sort of wine is it, french, spanish, italian or english? i don't know!

all right, we believe you. we will leave vicki. she has gone to the bar straightaway. the reason sajid javid has been delayed is the debate in the house of commons. labour has been tabling a cross—party motion to try to take control of the commons agenda later this month to begin moves to prevent a no—deal brexit. here‘s the shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer. it is a first and limited step to ensure that parliament cannot be locked out of the brexit process over the coming weeks and months. mr speaker, it paves the way for parliament to take further action, including to prevent no deal, should the house consider that necessary. and crucially, it means that if the next prime minister is foolish enough to try to pursue a no—deal brexit without gaining the content of this house,

or to prorogue parliament in order to force through no deal, then parliament would have the means to prevent that. so it‘s a motion that empowers parliament. it will introduce a safety valve in the brexit process, and it will be a reminder to all conservative leadership candidates that this house will take every step necessary to prevent a no deal. in response to mr starmer, the brexit secretary stephen buckley said labour was pushing a blind motion. he keeps telling me how much he doesn't like a blind brexit, and yet we have a blind motion. he set out the extent to which this is a blind motion, for it doesn't contain the detail on which the house will then

decide. interestingly, in the context of the conservative leadership election, he went on to point out that a new prime minister would be limited. they would be unable to go to brussels and secure a change to the backstop, a change of substance, and yet his own position is that under a labour prime minister, of course a new prime minister, of course a new prime minister, of course a new prime minister would be able to go to brussels. so within the right honourable gentleman's own remarks, one can see the contradictions inherent within this motion. let‘s take a look in to the commons now where that debate is continuing. the labour mp gareth snell is putting points in that motion debate. we think this could end in about 20 minutes with a vote. and then sajid javid will be able to leave the house chamber and will head off to his leadership launch.

we are expecting the debate not to last too much longer. there‘s been a qualified welcome to government plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the uk to net zero by 2050, in order to tackle global warming. climate change campaigners say the announcement is long overdue, but others say it won‘t make much difference if countries such as china, india and the united states don‘t follow suit. the prime minister has said there is a ‘moral duty to leave world in a better condition that we inherited‘. our environment analyst, roger harrabin, has more details. carbon pollution from fossil fuels. it‘s helped drive our economies and increase our wealth for more than 200 years. now, in the uk by 2050, it‘ll have to stop. to ensure that we make our contribution to dealing with climate change by laying the legislation for a net—zero target by 2050 today. this puts us on the path to become the first major economy to set a net zero emissions target in law.

the announcement has won applause. i think it's very welcome, it is the first major economy to set this target, which is the target which will get us to where we need to be globally. it sends a very strong message to developed countries — you need to come along and do this too. and it sends a very important message to developing countries that developed countries are taking their responsibility seriously. in many ways, the clean energy revolution will be a quiet revolution you won‘t even notice. we‘ll be driving electric cars, for instance, but is this an electric car or is it petrol? i don‘t know, do you? so what about inside the house? well, your gas boiler will be replaced by a hydrogen boiler. you won‘t notice that either. and your electrical goods will be running on electrons generated by clean energy, not by gas. cutting emissions to zero will mean

more gadgets like this q-bot which sprays insulation under your floorboards. but the scale of the challenge to make the uk‘s homes energy efficient is immense, so will the public buy into this low carbon revolution? the target will be meaningless if we don‘t have the people wanting to make it happen and there is a research base out there which is showing that people want to make it happen. whether they really understand what it will cost and what it means for them on a day—to—day basis, that‘s a big question. climate change is a hot political issue in many countries now, but global emissions are still growing. the british government may try to achieve its climate targets by paying countries like india to cut emissions on its behalf if it‘s cheaper. but that‘s controversial. and so is a plan to review the uk targets after five years, to see if other nations are following. rather than giving business the real confidence that business needs in order to be able to go forward

and invest in the green economy, they are saying that after five years, they will see whether anyone else is following us. if the government wants to claim it is showing climate leadership, that is not about dithering the door and constantly looking over your shoulder as to whether or not anyone is following you, it is setting a trajectory, giving businesses the confidence it needs and demonstrating that there is a real commitment to this way forward. and what about other weak points in the government‘s case, like planes? britain has been hitting overall emissions targets so far, but it is slipping on future medium—term goals. what‘s more, ministers are expanding heathrow, building more roads and encouraging fracking. how do these carbon—intensive policies meet the urgent need to protect this fragile planet? this afternoon, the prime minister has reiterated why she feels

the government is obliged to act. we have a moral duty to leave this world in a better condition than what we inherited. that is why we will be legislating for a net zero emissions target by 2050. this will put us on track to be the first major economy to put this commitment into law. this is an ambitious target, but it is crucial to achieve it and it would take is working across the whole breadth of society to do that. i have come here to imperial college today to see the work they are doing developing the technology that will help us reach that target, meeting with young engineers as they develop the skills that are needed for the future. but crucially, as we look ahead to meeting this target, some people think that you can either have low emissions or economic growth. that is not the case. actually, what we have shown already is that you can lower emissions, and we have this net zero target, and have economic growth at the same time. you‘re watching afternoon live,

these are our headlines: borisjohnson launches his campaign for the conservative party leadership by promising to deliver brexit by the end of october. a new plan to tackle climate change — the uk commits to cut greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. police fire rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters in hong kong — where anger at a new extradition bill has spilled over into violence. in sport, a suspected broken leg has ruled chris froome out of the tour de france. he had been hoping to go for a fifth win in cycling‘s grandest tour, but a crash during a training ride at the criterium du dauphine has ruined his chances. warren gatland says he is honoured to be named the head coach of the british and irish lions for a third time. he will lead the squad for their tour to south africa in 2021. and pakistan are chasing 308 to beat australia after the weather finally relented at the cricket world cup. a short time ago, they were 127—2 in the 2ath over. more a little later.

let‘s return to hong kong, and police there have fired rubber bullets and used tear gas during serious clashes with protesters who are angry about plans to make it easier to send people to mainland china to stand trial. some of the protesters tried to get inside hong kong‘s assembly building where the extradition proposals were due to be debated. hundreds of thousands of people have occupied motorways around the government headquarters, amid the worst unrest in the territory for years. stephen mcdonnell reports from hong kong. riot police using tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets came in hard to move demonstrators out of hong kong‘s central business district. protesters who had gathered in their tens of thousands ran for cover as the authorities moved against them block by block. earlier in the day, a large crowd gathered to oppose a move to allow extradition to the chinese mainland.

this came despite an official announcement the demonstrations would not be allowed near the local government headquarters. lawyers, academics and the business community have all warned that a fair trial is not possible in courts controlled by the communist party. so, when the government decided to take this bill to its next stage, striking workers joined students and small business owners surrounding the legislature. when you talk to people who have skipped class or work to come and join what has now become an occupation, they say they have no choice. these protesters feel the only way they can stop this bill is to take their argument to the streets. and to sufficiently embarrass carrie lam and her government into backing down. but instead, the government decided to put an end to this

act of mass defiance. it‘s getting a bit tense at the moment. the police are pushing back. and you can see there is the use of pepper spray and the like at the front. the authorities have now decided to try and clear the streets. for most, this onslaught by the police was too much to resist. for now, the authorities are back in control of the city. stephen mcdonnell, bbc news, hong kong. foreign secretaryjeremy hunt has reacted to the protests in hong kong and urged the pausing of the extradition bill. we are very concerned about the situation in hong kong. we signed a legally binding agreement in the joint declaration between the uk and china in 198a, and we are calling on the chief executive of hong kong, carrie lam, and the government of hong kong

to pause this bill to reflect on whether it might unintendedly be against either the letter or spirit of thatjoint declaration signed in 198a that preserves the freedoms of the people of hong kong. the great success of hong kong since 1997, something that has made it one of the most dynamic cities cities in the world, is based on the preservation of the freedoms that the people of hong kong have always enjoyed. we are worried that an unintended consequence of this bill could be the undermining of those freedoms and therefore the undermining of the success of hong kong. that is why we urge the government of hong kong to pause, reflect and think again. the former football coach, bob higgins, has beenjailed for 2a years for sexually abusing young players over a quarter of a century. he was found guilty last month of a5 counts of indecent assault against dozens of boys between 1971 and 1996. thejudge called higgins "cunning and manipulative". our correspondent, duncan kennedy, is at winchester crown court and told us more.

these are some of the men whose boyhood dreams of playing football at the highest level were crushed by the perversions of the coach they trusted. their identities are protected by law, but some of them have decided to set that right aside to express their lifelong sense of despair. football was our lives, football was our dreams, football was all that mattered to us. we would have done anything to become professional footballers. bob higgins used our desire and our determination as a tool to exploit our vulnerability, for his own sexual gratification. bob higgins abused young footballing hopefuls for 25 years. we coach them in the mornings. we have the cup competition in the afternoon. from the 1970s to the 1990s, he went from club to club and used his position

as youth coach to assault boys. he was head of youth development at southampton football club and trained future england stars like matt le tissier and alan shearer, although there is no suggestion that they were abused by higgins. have you ever engaged in any behaviour... higgins, who also worked for peterborough united, refused to answer police questions. but now he‘s been found guilty of indecently assaulting 25 boys. during sentencing, those boys — who are now middle—aged men — were tearful in their condemnation of higgins. one looked at him and said, "i had a dream to be a footballer, you created a nightmare." others spoke of their depression, anger and thoughts of suicide. one asked, "where were southampton football club and the fa?" whilst another, lamenting his lost football career, said, "i can only look back and wonder what might have been."

that sense of yearning came through for nearly every man who spoke in court, as did their anger, directed at the football authorities. the fa says it‘s carrying out its own inquiry into all abuse in football, while southampton football club said that it was deeply sorry about what had happened. these men have spent 30 years trying to overcome the damage inflicted on them, but now they‘ve been listened to. and the man who exploited their innocence and crushed their aspirations is finally facing the consequences. the actor and explorer, sir michael palin, has sir michael was knighted for services to travel, culture and geography. he collected the honour from the duke of cambridge. it‘s 50 years since monty python first aired on the bbc.

you could be forgiven for expecting sunshine injune, you could be forgiven for expecting sunshine in june, but you could be forgiven for expecting sunshine injune, but across the uk and europe, there have been absolute downpours. the met office has issued an amberwarning to downpours. the met office has issued an amber warning to heavy rain in scotland. and across europe, there have been hailstorms. here you can see a boat catching the powerful hailstorm on the bavarian lake. slovenia has also experienced severe hail. that is the scene in slovenia. now it‘s time to have a look at the weather. if you want to see more of those bavarian pictures, i can oblige. well, it is me that can oblige, as i have the clicker. this was in bavaria, to the west of munich in ammersee. that is one of the lakes in the foothills of the alps. incredible scenes, all these massive

ha ilstones incredible scenes, all these massive hailstones coming down. there was talk of them being golfball sized, so these were quite significant. not a good time to be outside. we could have sent you out. i am not going to say anything about having a glass of gin and tonic ready. let‘s look at what we were talking about. there is heavy rain, we are getting lots of calls about it. and there is no respite due, is there? not really. we were just talking about the pictures from wales with the latest pictures from wales with the latest pictures of flooding. that is probably the water coming down the river catchment that fell yesterday. there was heavy rain across north wales yesterday. not so much today, but one concern in the forecast is that we are going to see rain coming from germany, and that will be working into wales tomorrow. so given that the rivers are already running at high levels, that could be something else to keep a close eye on. and we could be looking at a grim rush out again for a lot of people. that is true. if we zoom in

to our shores, we have seen a lot of rain in the last 2a hours. how much? we have had 105 millimetres at holbeach. that was between sunday evening and this morning. that is twice the amount of rain we would normally see in the whole month of june, so it has been incredibly wet here. but we have heavy rain to come. given that the ground is saturated after torrential rain here over the last few days, it will not ta ke over the last few days, it will not take much to bring big puddles out on the roads, surface spray a problem for the rush—hour home. we have these thunderstorms that have developed in northern and central germany. they are working across the north sea and they are going to swing across to bring another bout of heavy rain through tonight and tomorrow across parts of the uk. here are those thunderstorms, the rain turning increasingly heavy and persistent, particularly across north—east england and also eastern

areas of scotland. the rain will be extensive, even reaching north wales, where we have seen river flooding recently. but the met office have an amber weather warning out. we think the heaviest rain will probably be around this part of south—east scotland, where over the hills we could get 100 millimetres of rain, turning heavy and persistent overnight and lasting pretty much throughout the day on thursday. the weather front itself is stuck, so it is going nowhere very fast. there could be further issues in northern england and wales, and we will see further thunderstorms elsewhere. not a great deal of sunshine tomorrow afternoon. it is another cool june deal of sunshine tomorrow afternoon. it is another cooljune day. it‘s another very wet june day it is another cooljune day. it‘s another very wetjune day for a number of us as well. this is our troublemaker, the area of low pressure that has been with us for a number of days. it is still there, chapter by an area of high pressure to the north in polar regions. the

friday, we have for the show is coming through. those will be heavy and thundery. some sunny spells between and more in the way of sunshine in south—east england, helping temperatures lift. it is a modest improvement, but there will be further downpours to watch for. that is the trend of the weather as we head into the weekend and even into next week. the weather pattern is still on the unsubtle side, although across parts of the south—east, we may see the weather turned drier and warmer. so to recap, the big points to watch out for, during this evening‘s rush—hour, heavy rain for parts of south—east england and east anglia and then of more concern is the rain overnight and into thursday, affecting parts of north—east england and especially south—east scotland, with that met office amber weather warning in force.

borisjohnson promises to deliver brexit by the end of october. delay means defeat. delay means corbyn. kick the can again, and we kick the bucket. the uk commits to cut greenhouse emissions to net zero by 2050. this

is an ambitious target but one that is an ambitious target but one that is crucial we will achieve and this will take the breath of society to do that. police fire rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters in hong kong — where anger at a new extradition bill has spilled over into violence. labour has been seeking to block a no—deal brexit with a parliamentary motion and the voting will take place in the next 10—15 minutes and if it passes mps can introduce legislation on the 25th ofjune to avoid a no deal scenario at the end of october, and the result is expected in 15 minutes. it has been a lively discussion, dominic grieve said he would be willing to leave the conservative party if it meant getting parliament to have a say over leaving the eu without a deal. he said mps should realise there is no opportunity other than this one to be guaranteed an ability to have a say on an incoming prime minister

wishing to take us out on a no—deal brexit. plenty at stake. we are expecting the vote within the next 15 minutes. mps are going to reappear and take their seats so we will return to the house of commons when that gets under way. we can now catch up with the sport. terrible news for chris froome. very u nfortu nate. news for chris froome. very unfortunate. he was looking to pick and sign for the tour de france next month but that is in disarray now after crashing in a training ride. our sport correspondentjoins us, he was hoping for a record equalling ride this year but now that won‘t happen. this is a huge blow for chris froome, he has been competing ina race chris froome, he has been competing in a race in france, one of the traditional preparation events for the tour de france which gets under way next month. what we know is he

was on a way next month. what we know is he was on a practice ride and he was scouting out the course ahead of the time trial when he crashed. it has emerged he has suffered a suspected broken femur, so he has broken his leg effectively. dave brailsford has been speaking to french television and he said chris froome crashed in the downhill section of the course at high speed. .. this is very worrying news and everyone is wishing chris froome a speedy recovery but as dave b ra ilsfo rd speedy recovery but as dave brailsford said he won't be able to compete in the tour de france next month. last year he finished third but he had high hopes of winning what would be a record equalling fifth tour de france title this

year. clearly the priority needs to be his recuperation from what seems to bea be his recuperation from what seems to be a pretty nasty crash. we wish him all the best. thanks forjoining us. well, stage four did take place today and adam yates has become the new leader of the race. he‘s taken the yellowjersey — four seconds clear of dylan teuns. warren gatland has been confirmed as head coach of the british and irish lions for a third time. the current wales coach, who is stepping down after the world cup, will take up the position next august after a little break. he presided over the win in australia in 2013 and a drawn series against new zealand‘s all blacks two years ago. he‘s described it as a huge honour and becomes only the second man in history to lead the squad on three occasions after sir ian mcgeechan.

could be a cracker in taunton between australia and pakistan at the cricket world cup. pakistan need 308 to surprise the defending champions who were put into bat and looked on course for a big total — lead by openers david warner and aaron finch. pakistan pegged them back though with mohammad amir taking five wickets. pakistan currently 1a7—a. favourites france take on norway in the women‘s world cup. that‘s an eight o‘clock kick off. already in group a, nigeria have picked up their first win of the tournament, beating south korea 2—0. an awful own goalfrom south korea‘s kim do—yeon gave nigeria the lead on the half hour mark. former bbc women‘s footballer of the year assisat oshoala doubled their lead with a well taken second goal. victory in their last games against france will likely be enough

to take the super falcons through. andy murray says he hopes to be back playing singles tennis by the end of the year. he‘s due to play doubles at queen‘s next week, his first proper competition since having that resurfacing surgery on his hip injanuary. he wants to play singles again though, and thinks that‘s possible before the years out — but he‘s ruled out being ready in time for the us open in august. that‘s all the sport for now. we‘ll have more for you in the next hour. mps are taking their seats and we are expecting a vote in about four minutes‘ time, which is if mps introduce legislation on the 25th of june to avoid a no deal scenario in october. vicki young is at the sajid javid event, where he will launch his leadership bid, but this is high—stakes,

his leadership bid, but this is high—sta kes, because we his leadership bid, but this is high—stakes, because we have heard that dominic grieve has said he would be willing to leave the conservative party if this meant parliament could have a say over a no—deal brexit. parliament could have a say over a no-deal brexit. that is relevant to the leadership contenders in this race because a lot of them are talking about what they would do and whether parliament will block a no—deal brexit even though they would say they would be happy to go ahead with it, so it is relevant that there are members of the conservative party who they feel the last option to stop a no—deal brexit wood be to vote against their own government in a no—confidence vote. dominic grieve has said this before but he has said it again, and there are others, if you remember there have been various defections from the conservative party, nick boles, for example, but it means the slender majority for the government is even lower than it was, so it is going to be incredibly difficult for any new prime minister to navigate their way through this with the house of commons so split on the issue and members of their own party

even willing to bring down a conservative prime minister. unusual circumstance but there has been a few interesting interventions. gareth stout, the labour mp, he was co nsta ntly gareth stout, the labour mp, he was constantly talked about as someone who might be willing to back theresa may‘s brexit deal —— gareth snell. he now feels it was wrong for him to go against the deal at the last time of asking. anyway, the conservative mp never managed to persuade labour mps in the heavily pro—brexit communities, they never persuaded them to get behind a deal, and that was part of the problem, and a criticism of the reason may at the time was that she did not reach out to the labour party early enough —— a criticism of theresa may at the time was. this vote coming up is about how parliament if there is a

way to stop a no 2 happening, if ‘ prime ‘ is on a new prime minister is intent on doing it, and it is not entirely clear how they can do that but the first thing they need to do is take hold of the parliamentary procedure and take hold of parliament and tried to get a law through, they have done this before. it was very close last time around, they were victorious by one vote. it is not clear what kind of law they could bring through on the last time it was to force the prime minister to ask for an extension to article 50 and a delay to brexit and it is not in the hands of the uk, it would have to be agreed by the eu. just talk about what this means, if it is voted for, the issue of the road in parliament, explain what that is about? —— probation. this has come up as part of the leadership campaign because some of the candidates i very much on the

brexiteer side of the conservative party, and they have been asked, how far would you be willing to go in order to make no deal happen? in law on the 31st of october, the uk leaves whether we have a deal or not, and parliament could try to frustrate that, in one way of stopping parliament is to send mps home and send parliament home and close it down and inevitably we would move towards no deal. that is a pretty drastic step and some have said it might be illegal and others have said it can‘t be allowed to happen, it is anti—democratic. that is one of the scenarios and it hasn‘t been ruled out by people like dominic raab, but trying to force through something as controversial asa through something as controversial as a no—deal brexit without the backing of parliament by closing it down, it is very hard to see how a prime minister would want to do that as their first prime minister would want to do that as theirfirst act prime minister would want to do that as their first act and how it is

sustainable in the longer term because in the end you have got to govern and without a general election the numbers in parliament don‘t change which is why speculation when you hear from people like dominic grieve, saying he would be willing to vote against a conservative prime minister, that is why speculation about a general election later this year is going because some people think that is the only way through this. that is something borisjohnson talked about directly in his launch this morning, he said he was the one to take on jeremy corbyn and nigel farage at a general election. yes, and that is what has changed. we have at the european elections which were not supposed to happen, they took place and they were won by the brexit party and the conservatives saw a load of their votes going to nigel farage. even though lots of tory mps would not contemplate a boris johnson leadership last year, he was being written off and did not have support in the house of commons from his own colleagues, but the enemy

has changed and so for the tories the enemy is notjustjeremy corbyn but also nigel farage, so they now see that someone who is a brexiteer and a leading light in the referendum campaign, someone who has spoken positively about brexit, they are now turning to him partly because they are looking at their constituencies and their seats and even those in pretty safe tory seats are now looking and thinking, if there was a general election it could be that i lose this seat. that is what is informing a lot of them. they are putting aside the worries they have. john bercow now. the ayes to the right 298, the noes to the left 309. the motion has been defeated by 11 votes. we knew it was going to be

tight but there will be a sigh of relief on government benches. yes, they were very against this, not surprisingly, thinking it is unconstitutional for backbenchers to ta ke unconstitutional for backbenchers to take control of parliamentary proceedings, so this means for those mps and there are very many of them in the house of commons who want to stop a no deal happening, this first step and this option for now has been closed. that is why dominic grieve said if this did not go through today, he thinks that the only option there would be to vote down a new government or a new prime minister ina down a new government or a new prime minister in a confidence vote which isa minister in a confidence vote which is a very drastic step for a conservative. with at least five tories voting against the government here, they are not out of the woods by any means. the majority is so slender and you can think of the names of those tories who would back

this kind of move, and i would imagine there could be labour mps, brexiteers who have voted with the government, they have slightly cancelled each other out, so that is what they are relying on but it is toa what they are relying on but it is to a close vote and there will be another attempt to do something and what the people are trying to achieve by doing this, you need legislation to amend it, and at the moment there isn‘t much going through parliament so that is why they wanted to do it this way, but i‘m sure it won‘t be the end of it and there will be more attempts. they have been pretty creative in doing this and they feel that the speakerjohn bercow will make sure that the house of commons as its say no matter what the government says about that. we have got to explain to viewers because many were expecting to have heard from sajid javid by now. he has taken part in the vote and we understand he could walk into where you are quite soon because he was getting a police escort from the house of commons to get to you. that is right, he had to

vote, of course, and then they were going to get him down here as quickly as possible, and those terrible traffic outside but if you are the home secretary and you have are the home secretary and you have a police escort you can get here a bit quicker. we are expecting him here pretty soon and he will be introduced by ruth davidson the leader of the scottish conservatives, she has been milling about, while they wait for this very delayed campaign launch, and making the case for why she thinks sajid javid should be the new leader of the conservative party. we will hear a lot about his background, that he doesn‘t look like a stereotypical conservative, and they need to reach out to people who don‘t normally vote for the conservatives, and he thinks partly by reaching out to people from ethnic minorities, and he thinks that the tory party needs to win seats in places like london, it‘s no good just winning in the home counties and the shires. we

think he is coming pretty soon. very quickly, in the background there, it is hashtag teamsaj ? quickly, in the background there, it is hashtag teamsaj? that is right, he has talked about how his children started laughing about that and they thought it was very funny and now they call it teamed out. he‘s getting laughed at by his children which we are all used to but he's quite enjoying that. they had a campaign video which really did talk about his background, his mother appeared in it. trying to show a different side to him because it is probably not something we have seen from him but something we will be concentrating on today. it is not just about your background, he will also have to like the other candidates, talk about how he thinks he can change what has happened with brexit, how can he achieve something

which theresa may has not managed to achieve in three years, how does he propose to do that, he has talked about not seeing any reason why you need to extend article 50 are not seeing any reason why you need to delay brexit beyond the end of october and he has said he would consider a no—deal brexit but he feels parliament would stop it. that this is his answer but that will be questioned a bit more closely. we are staying with you. we think he is not far away. we have a technical problem so it is nothing to do with the free bar, but you are slightly out of sync. any sign that he is about to arrive? mps are now coming m, about to arrive? mps are now coming in, they have all had to vote. stephen crabb, victoria atkinson, lots of the mps are now piling in so

they have come down from the house of commons after the vote to back him. they will be sitting at the front. very crowded here, very busy, not just because of front. very crowded here, very busy, notjust because of the front. very crowded here, very busy, not just because of the free front. very crowded here, very busy, notjust because of the free bar. they are all keen to see how he gets on. he got off to a slow start and did not get huge backers behind him, not many from the cabinet are backing him at this point, but his tea m backing him at this point, but his team say this is just the beginning and after the first round on monday, they think that is when things might start to shift a bit because they really wa nt start to shift a bit because they really want to make sure they finish in the top three because i think most people accept borisjohnson is going to get through, he has the most backing from mps and is very likely to get whittled down to the last two that goes to the ballot which is then voted on by conservative party members. the big challenge and the big fight is about

who is the person against boris johnson, sojeremy who is the person against boris johnson, so jeremy hunt who is the person against boris johnson, sojeremy hunt they feel is out in front but they feel just sajid javid offers something very different in that it would be a more interesting contest and they are also pitching sajid javid as someone who could bejeremy corbyn because they are looking at what boris johnson is suggesting, saying that he can win in labour areas, and sajid javid‘s team feel he could do the same —— labour areas. sajid javid‘s team feel he could attract a different kind of person to the conservatives, that is his pitch, a lot of talks about his humble origins as he puts it, that his father arrived here from pakistan with £1 in his pocket and then became a bus driver and sajid javid has also spoken about his schooling and he has said the public sector and he has said the public sector and the public services are important and they are what give

people opportunities but he also spoke about at his school he wasn‘t allowed to take maths a level because people like him did not take it and he wasn‘t allowed to do more than two a levels and he had to leave and go somewhere else to continue his studies and ended up at exeter university, so that story is something he will be keen to talk about. and to talk about the options and the opportunities that he wants other people to achieve. they are playing the video that he launched online yesterday, it begins with his dog who has become an internet star. laughter may be that is how they will decide leadership contests in the future, who has got the cutest dog. it went down pretty well, he did in initial video which was not received so well, and you could hear the bagpipes from outside on westminster bridge coming through, but this was donein bridge coming through, but this was done ina bridge coming through, but this was done in a far more slick way and it

tells you more about him than the previous one dead, but the campaign videos have been something that all of the teams have used to get their message across “— of the teams have used to get their message across —— the previous one did. and although sajid javid is home secretary, he‘s not someone that people much about. he has a very senior role in the cabinet. we now have ruth davidson to introduce him. applause good afternoon, just. my name is ruth davidson and i'm a member of the scottish parliament and the leader of the scottish conservatives and i'm a new mother who needs a pretty big reason right now tojump ona pretty big reason right now tojump on a flight and spend extra hours away from my boy. during i would not

do this forjust anyone but i'm here because i believe that sajid javid would make the best leader of our party and the best prime minister of our country and is the best placed man to take our nation forward. applause i'm pretty lucky because i have not spent the last few months at the coal face in the commons, living and breathing every brexit amendment or indicative vote, but i can tell you what it looks like from the outside and it isn't pretty and beyond parliament we are at a pivotal moment for our country and it is a country divided in to break the impasse and heal those divides and to unify the country and to change the way we look at ourselves, and our future, we need a leader that is not afraid to be different. leadership is about many things, vision, determination and guts, judgment, communication and moral

courage, it is about setting a course and bring the nation with you, fundamentally it is about character and sajid has it in spades. this is a phrase i have not used very often but he is the man for me. sorry, laura. his background and his ability and his experience and his policies can andl his experience and his policies can and i believe will bring our country together again around an optimistic vision for our future and it is an optimism that is so often lacking. but when it comes to him, how can you not be excited? from a packed bristol bedroom to home secretary and a leading candidate to be prime minister, his is a story of britain at its best and i believe he is the best choice for britain as well, you underestimate this man at your peril. i was first pitched against

him ata peril. i was first pitched against him at a selection meeting in bromsgrove nearly ten years ago and he beat me and he beat the other candidates and he deserved it, and i have a competitive streak a mile wide and by rights i should have hated him for it but i didn't. since thenl hated him for it but i didn't. since then i have found myself continually impressed by his application and energy and brains and his sheer bloody hard work, and the qualities that he has shown in everyjob he has done in politics across five departments, he has always pushed boundaries and refused to accept limitations, buzzing with ideas and enthusiasm and marked out by the restless energy that you get from an outsider. none of these qualities matter, though, if people have stopped listening to what our party has to say. we have to speak the language of modern britain. if we wa nt language of modern britain. if we want peoples votes we have to show we share their values and their hopes and dreams and aspirations, and they have to be able to look at the leader of our country and see

something of themselves. as a party we are struggling to speak to great parts of the population, younger voters, ethnic minorities, urban professionals, the parts of the country that are growing the fastest, the very people that are turned off by the same old tories. if the conservatives are going to keepjeremy if the conservatives are going to keep jeremy corbyn out of downing street and keep the union together we must build an electoral coalition and we must reconnect with those people who have stopped listening and we must reach a new audience. we need someone who speaks to their concerns not because he has read a brief, but because he has lived them, someone who is able to tell a story of our country, all of our country, someone who understands shared identities and who is able to bring the nation together, and give everyone from scotland, england, wales and northern ireland, a greater reason to feel pride in our shared endeavour and historic union and a union that is everyday under threat. from populist leaders already in power and those that are

competing for it, from those who seek to sow division and reap rewards, putting political differences ahead of our shared values for their own ends. i've seen the consequences of that short—term thinking in scotland, where nationalism replaces patriotism and it is ugly and divisive and dangerous. i love the uk and i believe that we all have a shared ownership of it but it is not fixed in time and the case must be made and remade for every age and i believe that sajid is the man to make it. our party is the conservative and unionist party and it is the party of opportunity, education, aspiration. of giving people a leg up and making sure they can have a fair go, it is time to show that face to the british people. and as a party we have always been well served by a prime minister who was raised above a shop. ladies and gentlemen, sajid javid!

applause the first time i felt like an outsider was when i was six years old. my cousin told me that we needed to change our walking route to her school that we could avoid the bad kids, the ones that supported the national front. the bad kids, the ones that supported the nationalfront. that was the first time, but it wasn‘t the last. when i was at secondary school the other kids told me about their summer holidays and i had only ever been to rochdale on holiday, so i pretended to go abroad like them, and they couldn‘t tell if this was a town or not. —— a tan. when i wanted

town or not. —— a tan. when i wanted to do the o—levels i needed, although i had a couple of inspiring teachers, i was told that kids like me should know their limits and they should stay in their lane. when i was told that i could be the first in myfamily was told that i could be the first in my family to go to university and i went, i in my family to go to university and iwent, i knew in my family to go to university and i went, i knew hardly any other stu d e nts i went, i knew hardly any other students like me. that way from state school. when i was a new graduate seeking my firstjob in the city, i met old school bankers with their old school ties. men who told me that my face did not fit. and that where i came from was far less important than where i could take them. and when i wanted to marry the love of my life who happened to be white christian, people in my wider

family and community told me that i shouldn‘t. that i couldn‘t. that i must stick to my own. not to have kids who, in their words, would be called half caste. and when, after 20 years in business, where i was the go to guy for managing multi—billion—dollar international deals, when i wanted to give something back to my country, and i looked at the only party that i had ever supported, there were those who told me, no, it wasn‘t for me. they even suggested that i should join the labour party. because that is what they felt... they did, they did. because they said that is what immigrants and their children should do. but, you know what, i refused to

be labelled, to be put into a box and to be the person that people said that i should be. so when i was racially abused in school by the toughest guy in school, while rightly or wrongly, i punched him. when i was told i couldn‘t go to a better school, because the council wouldn‘t pay for my bus fare, i got on my bike, and i went anyway. and you know what‘s? when labour tried to
