and that, in a way, gets to the heart of your mother's art, which is storytelling. this is sit, in a way that you tell a dog to sit. but this is paula being told to sit, so it is both obedience and defiance reflected in this picture. this is bbc news. a paula rego picture i'm rachel schofield. is never straightforward — the headlines at 11: there's plenty of anger and suffering, but also tenderness and beauty. borisjohnson launches his campaign they are ambiguous, dark images and describe the human condition to become the next prime minister in a way few have done before. with a promise to deliver brexit the actor and explorer, sir michael palin, has received his knighthood at buckingham palace.sir michael was knighted for services to travel, and win a general election. culture and geography. he collected the honour from the duke of cambridge. delay means defeat. delay means afterwards sir michael said he's resisted the temptation to crack a joke during the investiture. jeremy corbyn. kick the can again it's fifty years since monty python first aired on the bbc. so far, sir michael is the only and we kick the bucket. python to be knighted — sajid javid is the last of the ten candidates to set but he said john cleese has turned down the chance.the writer out his leadership pitch — and broadcaster was dubbed a knight calling the former foreign secretary ‘yesterday‘s news‘. by william for services to travel, now it's time for the weather with helen willetts. he still has a big role to play but it has been exceptionally wet but we i think if we are trying to connect with the next generation and move needed the rain. it's causing some forward as a country then i think it problems and will continue to cause flooding issues, transport disruption and an amber warning. the is time for the next generation, to reason we are seeing is stagnant give them a bold new agenda. in other news — the uk weather pattern at the moment is

government promises to cut because of the jetstream. when we carbon emissions to net zero by 2050 in a bid to tackle climate change. sir philip green's retail empire has been saved see it moving from west to east. after landlords approve a plan more progressive patterns, we are to shut shops and slash rents. finding this cut of area of low and at half past 11 we'll be taking pressure keeps putting more rain, another look at the papers fuelled by the heat to the east of with david wooding from the the sun on sunday and polly mackenzie us as fuelled by the heat to the east of us as weather fronts getting a lot of energy from that heat and from the centre—left providing the heavy rain. through think tank demos. thursday, it looks like the heaviest of the rain, potentially the most disruptive will be across southern and eastern parts of scotland where we could see 80 millimetres of rain but it won't just we could see 80 millimetres of rain but it won'tjust be southeast scotland. 20—a0 millimetres quite good evening and welcome to bbc news. widely but as much as 80 millimetres the last two conservative candidates have launched their campaigns to replace theresa may as party across north—east england. as the leader and become the next prime day progresses, we have showers minister. developing in the west, east split across scott. the star with —— the boris johnson — currently the front runner in the race — far west stays mostly dry. a stiff, said he was determined to take britain out of the eu northerly breeze and further recent by the end of october. he said he wasn't aiming to leave concerns the flooding and hazardous without a deal but he would prepare travel conditions. a drier weather

for that outcome. meanwhile the home secretary sajid javid said he was different here, england and wales, likely to from "westminster elites" and the country needed a new kind of leader. break up that rain. that could be some really intense showers, torrential downpours as we go he and borisjohnson are the last through the day but it will be a bit of the ten candidates warmer with sunshine in the south to launch their campaigns. and east which we should see on friday. subtle changes. our low tomorrow conservative mps begin the first round of voting to decide pressure meanders to the north—west who will move into downing of the uk. it could be that northern street in 6 weeks time. here's our political ireland see some of the wettest editor laura kuenssberg. weather by that stage but it's by no ah, here he is! means settled elsewhere. 20 more will boris johnson be the prime minister? boris! heavy snow moving down port —— downpours. it might feel a little his dream for more than a decade. more like june. over the the waiting crush felt downpours. it might feel a little more likejune. over the weekend, will have to keep an eye on like the return of a long—lost unholy union — family in one corner, developments to the east of us. we tory remainers and leavers again sharing the pews. will continue to see showers moving hoping he can bring the slow—moving in. we will see temperatures in the brexit crisis to an end. mid to high teens. it's an unsettled delay means defeat. delay means corbyn.

kick the can again, and we kick the bucket. looking, showery picture as we work our way through the weekend. some after three years and two missed deadlines, places will escape showers. as we we must leave the eu on october the 31st. applause. time and again, he mentioned his move into the beginning of the new week, the high—pressure close by to double victory as mayor of london, pitching himself as the south mightjust start week, the high—pressure close by to the south might just start to migrate a little bit further. if it the man to beat labour. injeremy corbyn, we have a man who is far to the left does so, it means we will see fewer of ken livingstone in his nihilistic determination to hike showers across the southern half of taxes to penal rates, to attack wealth creation. england and wales, the area of low pressure will be peppered with those my friends, we cannot let them heavy, slow—moving, thundery anywhere near downing street. he carries baggage, though — downpours such as the energy and atmosphere at this time of and plenty of it. mrjohnson, 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're telling some supporters you'll do everything to avoid leaving the eu without a deal and others that

you gladly would do that. it's a simple question — if you want to be prime minister, can the country trust you? well, yes, of course, laura, and the answer... i think perhaps in that great minestrone of observations there was one substantive question which was that... one crouton i picked up, which was that you think i have been somehow inconsistent. somehow inconsistent, laura, in saying that i don't want a no—deal outcome, but i think it is right for our great country to prepare for that outcome. and i think what most people understand... applause. if we make the preparations now, we will carry the conviction with our friends and partners that we are indeed able to make such an exit, if we really have to.

he can'tjoke his way out of controversy, though. there were somejeers. as letterboxes and bank robbers... he was challenged on remarks made about muslim women and being fit for office. if sometimes in the course of trying to get across what i genuinely think, i use phrases and language that have caused offence, of course i'm sorry for the offence that i have caused, but i will continue to speak as directly as i can. not so direct when asked if he'd ever used cocaine — he wouldn't answer. 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. it is borisjohnson‘s to lose, but there are plenty of others trying to shove him off the stage. the final launch today makes ten candidates in the race, other voices in the tory party ready to argue for change. now, this is a phrase that i've not used very often,

but he's the man for me! the home secretary after the big promotion too. as we face the challenges that are unlike any that we have faced before, this calls for a new kind of leadership from a new kind of leader. a leader is notjust for christmas orjust for brexit. we cannot risk going with someone who feels like the short—term, comfort—zone choice. i'd say i am a change candidate. you know, borisjohnson is yesterday's news. not if he can help it, though. stop brexit! mrjohnson believes there are plenty more chapters in his story. there is a long way to go in this race. you cannot touch it! but whether you love to hate him or hate to love him, borisjohnson and the resistance he provokes will simply not be ignored.

while conservatives candidates were launching their campaign to be the next prime minister, labour's latest attempt to take control of parliament to avoid the uk leaving the eu at the end of october without a deal was rejected by 309 votes to 298. let's listen back to some of the debate in the commons. 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 bullish and off to try to pursue a no deal brexit without gaining the consent of this house, or to provoke parliament to force through no deal then parliament would have the means to prevent that. it is the nature of what the house is being asked to support today that is the issue. the

concentration of control in emotion from an individual and the speaker together. it is the fact that the scope of that is potentially so widespread. it is the fact that it is at odds with the manifestoes on which both front ventures stood. it is, in essence, because it is an attempt to circumvent the internal tension within the party opposite. the electoral commossion has issued a warning to the brexit party over the way it has collected donations, saying the way the party collects money from supporters creates "a high risk of it accepting impermissible donations." during the european elections, the party was accused of getting around declaration rules by accepting multiple sums online below the £500 limit. the party said it had not infringed any rules, but would "embrace" the recommendations on checking donors after the watchdog said it had made the party aware of its "legal responsibilities". the prime minister has announced

that the uk will commit to cutting its carbon emissions to almost zero by 2050 as part of a new government plan to tackle climate change. it would mean, among other things, millions of people switching from petrol and diesel cars to electric vehicles and taking fewer flights. if the plans are passed, britain would become the first major economy to adopt such a legally binding target. the move has been widely praised by green campaigners. but some fear it is already too late and an impossible task. here's our science editor david shukman. this is a huge moment in the effort to tackle climate change, a radical vision to shut off the gases that are raising temperatures. no more sights like this, of exhaust fumes pouring into the air, and no more gas burning in our homes for cooking or for heating. these are the men, and here is the metal. the country that led the industrial revolution got rich with the help of coal, but using it released carbon dioxide that's still in the atmosphere,

and adding no more of it is one of the prime minister's final moves in office. well, i believe that we have a moral duty to leave this world in a better condition than what we inherited, and that's why today we are announcing that we will be ending our contribution to climate change by 2050, and legislating for a net—zero emissions target. so what is a net—zero target? well, it means running the economy without adding to levels of greenhouse gases. offshore wind turbines are key to that, and there will be a lot more of them, and it also means making big changes in our everyday lives, like in this eco—house. first off, triple—glazed windows. and walls that are incredibly thick and well insulated. amazingly, this place has no central heating at all. instead, the natural warmth of the room is drawn off through these extractors, taken into this device, where it's used to heat up fresh,

cooler airfrom outside, which is then warmed up, and released through this pipe up here. the result — a temperature of 21 degrees for virtually no power, and with technologies that are available right now. what about the cost of all this? if we're all going to switch to electric cars, for example, who pays for the chargers? the treasury is worried that the bills will mount up. supporters say cleaning the air will benefit everyone and reduce costs for the nhs, but one of the teenage school protesters says everything's too slow. 2050 is far too late, unfortunately. we urgently need to actually take immediate action, rather than having this over the course of nearly 30 years. so what's the international view of britain's action? well, china is the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, dwarfing whatever we produce. but it's also investing the most in clean technologies, with the world's biggest

fleets of electric buses. even so, the chinese economy and others are set to quadruple in size, so whatever we do may not make much difference. global warming and addressing global warning is overwhelmingly about, how do you deal with four chinas, four indians, four africas within 30 years? oh, and another billion and a half people as well. a map of global warming — despite every effort, temperatures keep rising around the world, with the risk of the impacts becoming more severe. britain hopes that taking a lead will set an example that others will follow. police have fired rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters in hong kong, where anger at a new extradition bill has spilled over into violence. the bill would allow the extradition of suspected criminals wanted for questioning or to stand trial back to mainland china. yet many fear this is an erosion of hong kong's independence.

they're also deeply concerned about beijing's lack of human rights for suspects and think the new extradition bill could be used for political gain. china insists the move is simply to stop people fleeing justice. hundreds of thousands of demonstrators blocked key roads around government buildings today, successfully delaying a debate on the proposed law change, amid the worst unrest in the territory for years. rupert wingfield—hayes reports. this was the centre of hong kong this afternoon. scenes of mass violence, the likes of which have not been seen here since the 1960s. the day had been tense from the start. huge crowds surrounded hong kong's legislature, determined to stop any discussion of the hated extradition bill. the object of their anger, this woman — hong kong's chief executive, carrie lam. last weekend, hundreds of thousands

of people took to the streets here, demanding she scrap a bill that would allow people in hong kong to be extradited to mainland china, but she is refusing to budge. why is she quite so adamant, quite so determined? you would call it arrogance on her part or stubbornness. no, she isjust doing all this at beijing's order. she is just some little puppet of the beijing regime. today's protesters were almost exclusively young, aggressive, and boiling with rage at a government they believe is giving away their freedoms. it seemed only a matter of time before things turned violent — and so they did. few here have ever experienced the searing pain of being tear—gassed. you could see the shock and confusion.

i think there's lines that we can have the freedom from fear, that we are every day facing right now, so i guess we feel angry and we do not get respected by our own government. by early evening, police had begun to gain the upper hand — launching barrage after barrage, driving protesters away from the government quarter. what we're witnessing here in hong kong tonight, with this operation to clear the streets, is a hong kong government determined not to allow another protest movement to establish itself and occupy the centre of the city, like it did back in 2014, and a government that is determined, it seems, to push ahead with an incredibly controversial extradition law regardless of the consequences. the government has now declared today's protest a riot, turning those who took part into potential criminals, but tonight thousands remain on the streets — their anger only further inflamed. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in hong kong.

the headlines on bbc news: boris johnson launches his campaign to become the next prime minister with a promise to deliver brexit and win a general election. sajid javid has become the last of the ten candidates to set out his campaign pitch, calling the former foreign secretary yesterday's news. in other news — the uk government promises to cut carbon emissions to net zero by 2050 in a bid to tackle climate change. a senior mi5 officer has told the london bridge inquest why an investigation into one of the attackers was suspended for three months just before the attack. the witness — identified as l — says mi5 was dealing with an "alarming" threat level at the time, putting pressure on resources. he defended the mis investigation as "well run and effective". daniel sandford reports.

khuram butt, the leader of the london bridge attack which killed eight people. he first came to the attention of mi5 in 2014, three years before the attack, as an unnamed associate of the extremist preacher anjem choudary. but in the middle of the next year, 2015, m15 started a full investigation into him. witness l, a senior m15 officer, told the coroner: but, as they started to watch khuram butt, m15 saw no evidence of him attack planning. what they observed were signs of continuing extremism. here he was praying in regent's park in front of a flag linked to the islamic state group. by the end of 2015, there were concerns he might travel to syria tojoin is. witness l said:

so that he couldn't be seen by anyone in court, the senior m15 officer gave evidence from behind a thick green curtain. time and again he was asked whether there should be deep public concern about the way m15 conducted their enquiry into khuram butt, but he said the investigation had been well and effectively run. three months before the attack, m15 had these pictures of butt meeting one of the other attackers, rachid redouane, but soon afterwards the investigation was suspended because of a flood of more urgent investigations. once the investigation resumed, m15 missed this meeting between the three attackers, having failed to get good intelligence from the gym where it took place. and witness l said that even if they had been following the men as they hired a van, they may not have realised it was the final preparations before an attack. daniel sandford, bbc news.

one of britain's biggest retail groups, arcadia, has been handed a lifeline by landlords who've agreed to cut rents for stores in the troubled empire. arcadia owns a raft of big names from top shop and dorothy perkins to miss selfridge. the business has 566 stores in the uk and ireland and employs 18,000 workers. our business editor simon jack has more. they were seeking approval from the landlord, asking them to accept a very steep discounts to landlord, asking them to accept a very steep discounts to the landlord, asking them to accept a very steep discounts to the rent they got and they did not get this through last week. they tried this last week and didn't get permission and we also know one of the biggest landlords had vowed to vote against it. it was a very tight vote and it went through in the end. earlier this evening, i was told that it was a

very tight thing. it didn't come close to collapse, we won the vote. it was a legitimate vote and it was one. we got a win today and many more landlords clearly voted more yes the no. one landlord wants to make a lot of noise, that is his choice, not my choice but as far as i'm concerned, tonight is about a celebration for our workforce, our supply chain and yes, the market has changed, now we've got to get to work, grasp this new marketplace and get on with the job. it doesn't mean it is totally in the clear, there is a 30— day challenge. where some of the creditors can challenge the settle m e nt the creditors can challenge the settlement and there are some challenging circumstances on the high street so not home and dry but for tonight, the 18,000 employees can breathe a sigh of relief, philip green's empire is diminished but still intact. joe atkins and freddy

identified ten districts and have taken the decision to evacuate those villages living by the coastal areas. india's military and disaster response teams have been deployed to help with rescue and relief efforts. on twitter, the prime minister urged those in affected areas to move to safety. it's the second time in as many months india has faced severe weather. in may, a cyclone, the equivalent of a category 4 hurricane, killed 3a people on the country's eastern coast in odisha state. the death toll was kept relatively low thanks to the evacuation of more than a million people. authorities here are hoping early preparations are enough to prevent a similar disaster. sam ryder, bbc news. she is one of europe's most mordant living painters. dame paula rego studied at the slade school of fine art in london and in the 19 stick

six —— 1960s exhibited alongside david hockney. the mk gallery in milton keynes will open an exhibition of her work. we report on an artist who, through her work, has also championed political and social causes. the artist dame paula rego, now in her 80s and weakened by a stroke, still goes to her studio almost every day. i think that if you do pictures, they are about what's inside you as much as what's outside you, but that you've got secrets and stories that you want to put out there in the pictures. her son, the film—maker nick willing, gave me a personal tour of this major exhibition of her work, which starts in the early days, when his mother's art was overtly political. she used, in the ‘60s, her pictures as a way of undermining and criticising the portuguese fascist regime. my mother was very outrageous and took huge risks with her pictures and went crazy in her studio, as it were, in her work, but at home she was quite a straightforward person. in 1998, paula rego produced a set of large pastoral pictures in response to a recent referendum

held in portugal to bring an end to illegal abortions — an extremely dangerous practice of which she had personal experience. and my mother, who had suffered so much in her life from backstreet abortions, was so incensed that the portuguese public and particularly women in public hadn't bothered to go out and said, "oh, we're too embarrassed to vote," so she decided to lay it all out there and make a series of pictures of young girls, some of them schoolgirls, who had had backstreet abortions. and that, in a way, gets to the heart of your mother's art, which is storytelling. this is sit, in a way that you tell a dog to sit. and my mother, who had suffered so much in her life public and particularly women in public hadn't bothered to go out and said, "oh, we're too embarrassed to vote," so she decided to lay it all out there and make a series of pictures of young girls, 00:26:39,667 --> 2147483051:50:04,548 some of them schoolgirls, 2147483051:50:04,548 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 who had had backstreet abortions.
