street, are you the street, are you getting mobbed? i try to live a quiet life, but the support i get from home, that has been tremendous, especially since the fight last week, definitely has been hard to walk down the street. i'm definitely in a great position, being the champion. yeah, i am not complaining about it at all. congratulations to her. back to australia against brazil at the women's world cup, scintillating match so far, brazil putting on the pressure, late chance for them, already into time added on, five minutes of that in that game. brazil 2-0 minutes of that in that game. brazil 2—0 up at the start of the game, now they trail 3—2 as you can see, possible penalty, with vi are, we will not wait for the check but it has played a big part in the game so far. australia —— var. could have had one of their own, brazil got one of their own, mata scored it, fifth goal ina of their own, mata scored it, fifth goal in a separate world cup. ——
6:51 pm
australia could have had one of their own. both matches on bbc two, thatis their own. both matches on bbc two, that is all from sportsday, we will have more in the evening. —— marta. the number of mps vying for the tory leadership has been reduced to seven following the first of a series of roads deciding who will take over from theresa may, further rounds of voting will continue until there is only two contenders in the leadership race, then it will be down to the 160,000 members in the party to decide who should take charge in downing street. to discuss the prospects for the remaining contenders, we are joined the prospects for the remaining contenders, we arejoined by jennifer mctiernan, and editor of the new statesman, stephen bush. welcome to the both of you. any surprises in who has gone out? not
6:52 pm
really, in terms of who has gone, in terms of the scale of boris johnson's victory, perhaps, but, yes, i think we were expecting andrea leadsom, mark harper, esther mcvey, to all go out, they did not have the support. he has crossed the vital mark of which is a third of the party plus one, no amount of tactical voting by the remaining two thirds can keep you out once you get that number. the other reason this is such a good result, as well of as his own strength, the candidates are so his own strength, the candidates are so bunched together, instead of anyone thinking, how we will take out the front runner, they will all be thinking, maybe i can get to the top two, i have only got to get a couple of votes, a couple of votes from dominic rob, michael gove, that means he can be the frontrunner, carefully controlled media and quietly wait, until he wins. but,
6:53 pm
what happened to the, anybody but boris... ? what happened to the, anybody but boris...? that theme, that seem to be running through conservative party, not that long ago. it seems to have splintered away, when you look at the hard time michael gove has had over the weekend, the revelations about cocaine, quite a surprise to the supporters ofjeremy hunt when he came through with big support from penny mordaunt and amber rudd, that he is still only six ahead of michael gove. so, we are looking at people, potentially rory stewart could still come through as the dark horse, may be, when you look at who is there, but the supporters really will have to make some hard decisions over who they do want to get in. one of the conversation —— what are the conversations that take place in a situation like this, behind the scenes, oui’ situation like this, behind the scenes, our people lent on to give up, to stand down, even before the next round of voting? two types of conversation, one, the kind of
6:54 pm
various, the contest to do the hard brexit, that has been definitively woi'i brexit, that has been definitively won by borisjohnson, and the conviction of allies of boris johnson is, this is your moment, throw your weight behind him, or, you can push on, be crushed, and you will have a less good job, and on the other side of the oil, this argument, time for us all to unify around sajid javid, jeremy hunt, michael gove, but because they are so michael gove, but because they are so close together, there is every chance, even rory stewart could somehow be the second candid, that means no one will want to pull out. the favourite is never supposed to win! never supposed to but when you look at how far ahead... 71, 71 votes ahead, boris johnson, look at how far ahead... 71, 71 votes ahead, borisjohnson, of his nearest rival, that is crazy. how much different will it be if he is. into the more public debate the bbc is going to have, where it is not
6:55 pm
going to be that carefully managed appearance, is it, it will be put on the spot. the big risk with boris johnson in the televised debate is not whether or not he is put on the spot or made to look a bit silly, what happened to this stop boris johnson campaign, well, the pulse became awful and people felt, we will press the button. if, sajid javid, we forget, most of these other candidates, the other average person does not know very well, if they really impressed the watching audience, and there is a sudden mania around the country for sajid javid, that could threaten boris johnson but the big advantage is that he is seen as the election winnerand that he is seen as the election winner and none of the others are. not the entire viewing public you will get to choose. it is the membership, he is basically through the mp voting. we already know that the mp voting. we already know that
6:56 pm
the membership far and away supports borisjohnson over the rest, unless a dark horse comes through and manages to win over people, i think borisjohnson is still going to be seen by the vast majority of members as the person to beat nigel farage. what policies does he need other than a what policies does he need other thana can what policies does he need other than a can positive attitude about brexit? there has been a vow of silence about the loss of majority, one cabinet minister said it was like speaking of a death in the family, none of these people can enact any policies, we should not forget that, whatever direction you try to do the tory party from, there is more than four mps who disagree and they can veto, the only thing that really matters is, is this someone from their perspective who can lead them into an election and get a better result than last time. election is what must be tackled, brexit must be tackled, the options
6:57 pm
are no different. parliamentary arithmetic has not changed, cross vote yesterday, where labour was trying to push again for mps to back this idea that you can block a no—deal brexit but it did not work, it failed, once again, stuck in this limbo, no obvious way out, does not matter if it is brexit with a deal with out a deal or cancelling it, the mps do not know what they want. europe has been catastrophic for so many conservative leaders, what is to stop it being a problem for the next one? nothing, let's say that borisjohnson can next one? nothing, let's say that boris johnson can find a way of turning lead into gold, passing this deal, we will still have decades of arguing about, this isjust about choosing whether or not to leave, this isjust using the divorce, not the flat that we move into will look like...! that will continue to split the tory party until we are all grey and old. who is your money on? would
6:58 pm
you rather not say? so hard not to say borisjohnson at this point. yes, it has to be borisjohnson. thank you very much forjoining us. another day, when i have to talk about a lot of rain across the uk! really soggy day, parts of north—east england, eastern scotland had wet weather, underneath this rain, some spots or temperatures no higher than rain, some spots or temperatures no higherthan 9 rain, some spots or temperatures no higher than 9 degrees, showery rain further south as well, as we go through tonight, another batch of rain moving across the south—west of england into wales, the west midlands, parts of north—west england and showery rain across the north of scotland. relatively chilly night in the southern half, —— northern half, former in the south. wet rush hour former in the south. wet rush hour for some, that rain extends into eastern scotland through the afternoon, away from these areas, mix of sunshine and showers, east
6:59 pm
anglia and the south—east, not too many showers, dry weather, some spells of sunshine, temperatures 14 to 19 degrees. looking ahead to the weekend, a mix of sunshine and showers, temperatures higher than they have been.
7:00 pm
you're watching beyond 100 days... the us believes iran attacked two oil tankers in the gulf of oman — officials say a mine was found on one of the vessels. 0ne ship is norwegian, the other japanese. the iranians say someone staged the attacks to embarrass them. it is another major confrontation in one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world — the price of brent crude has spiked. borisjohnson tops the first ballot in the tory leadership contest — getting more than double the support of his nearest competition. also on the programme... after all the back and forth of the mueller inquiry, donald trump tells the us media he'd have no problem accepting information on an election opponent — even if it came from another country. and get out and smell the roses.
