dominic raab has warned that his party will be toast if britain does not leave the eu by the 31st of october. jeremy hunt has said that choosing boris johnson october. jeremy hunt has said that choosing borisjohnson is the next tory leader would mean britain leaving the eu without a deal. let's get more now on these latest developments from our political correspondent, nick eardley. the conservative party in parliament will whittle the list of candidates down to two in the coming week, and it is the battle to be on that final two that goes to the conservative membership with boris johnson two that goes to the conservative membership with borisjohnson that we are seeing this morning. we have heard from three of the candidates, setting out their pitch for exactly

why they think they are the man to go why they think they are the man to 9° up why they think they are the man to go up against mrjohnson. dominic raab was brexit secretary and he is a man who was fighting for a lot of the same ground as mrjohnson by trying to appeal people who think that delivering brexit is the number one goal. he was what he said when asked about the impact of not doing that. we gave people a decision in parliament is trying to steal it back, which is a fraud. in terms of the referendum campaign, it is clear, we are leaving the eu. we wa nt clear, we are leaving the eu. we want to lead with a deal but plenty of questions were asked about what would happen if we couldn't get a deal on what the outcome would be. we haven't left yet, and that is why we are seeing notjust the uncertainty for the economy and the damage it is doing to businesses, many of whom say to me, we just want to know what you're doing, but also this corrosion of public trust. the tory party will be toast unless are out by the end of october. the tory

party will be toast? yeah, we need to wake up to this. we have seen it in the peterborough by—election in the european elections, notjust the frustration and outrage, and you refer to scandal, scandal people feel that we haven't kept up... you think it would be the end of the conservative party? we cannot win unless we deliver brexit. that was dominic rob speaking earlier, and you have heard from other contenders, rory stewart miss his big pitch is increasingly focusing on being somebody who could stop borisjohnson. he on being somebody who could stop boris johnson. he is on being somebody who could stop borisjohnson. he is hugely critical of mrjohnson, ca and this morning they have completely different ideas and he has no idea how mrjohnson would deliver brexit, and he is basically saying, i want to go up against him because i think i could

scrutinise his ideas. claiming that once that happens mrjohnson will come off the rails. rory stewart has come off the rails. rory stewart has come up with the idea of citizens' assemblies. he has said that 50,000 people might get a phone call saying they should be on the assemblies. i suspect there will be some people at home dreading ever getting the call being asked to come up with a solution to brexit. in the last poll of tory mps, jeremy hunt was second, and he is seen as the front runner to be up against mrjohnson at the moment. i have to say, there wasn't a tremendous amount that was new from mr hunt this morning in detail about what he would do differently. he is saying that the big choice now is how to avoid leaving without a deal or a general election. let's listen. i believe that there is a

deal there. let me answer the question, andrew. when you talk to european leaders, as i do, they want to solve this problem. they say if they were approached by a british prime minister, someone they were willing to deal with, who had ideas as to how to solve the northern irish border, they would be willing to renegotiate the package. i'm not saying that is going to be easy, but my point is this colon if we are now that we will choose a no—deal brexit oi'i that we will choose a no—deal brexit on the 31st of october or an election, those are very stark choices. are they the best for britain? i choices. are they the best for britain? lam choices. are they the best for britain? i am sitting here arguing that we can negotiate better choices. mr hunt will be one of five candidates taking part in a tv bait tonight, the first time you and i am the public at large will have been let into a conservative hustings. there have been plenty so far, but most of them have involved journalists like me having a glass up journalists like me having a glass up againsta journalists like me having a glass up against a wall to try to hear what is happening. tonight, we will

be let in on the act. borisjohnson will not be there. the fight tonight will not be there. the fight tonight will be to be seen as the main contender to mrjohnson. that is when it starts to heat up, when we get down to the final two. nick, thank you very much. tens of thousands of peope are protesting on the streets of hong kong over a controversial extradition bill, despite a government climb—down. hong kong's chief executive announced the plans had been suspended — but demonstrators are demanding it be completely scrapped. large crowds have gathered in the city's victoria square. martin yip is our correspondent in hong kong, with the latest. martin, obviously the demonstrators there are not giving up and are not satisfied with the concessions they have forced out of the leadership. definitely. that is the theme of today's rally. the main slogan they

are chanting is withdrawal. they have been streaming past me, as you can see. these are people walking to the start of victoria park, two or three kilometres away, while i am standing outside the legislative council, where the rally finishes. that shows the determination for these protesters. they want the legislation totally scrapped. the chief executive of hong kong have been so far saying a suspension. beijing has showed them support already. what explain to us at —— support already. what explain to us at -- explain to us again what their fears are. yellow the argument has been that if this bill was passed,

one element is to change the extradition laws to mainland china and macau. that would in theory open up and macau. that would in theory open upa and macau. that would in theory open up a loophole. they have no faith in china's legal system, with all the complaints and criticism of unfair trial, lack of transparency as far as arbitrary detention goes. china has kept reiterating its stance, claiming its legal system has been improving throughout the years. this thank you very much indeed, martin. iran has complained to britain's ambassador in the country after the uk government accused it of involvement in the attacks on two oil tankers in the gulf of oman. the iranian authorities deny being involved. amid the growing tensions, the british—iranian woman jailed in tehran for spying, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, has begun a new hunger strike.

she denies any wrongdoing. simonjones reports. outside the iranian embassy in london, a lone tent symbolising the growing tensions between the uk and tehran. the husband of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe camping outside the building to try to make his voice heard. his wife remains injail following her arrest at tehran airport, after visiting her family three years ago, accused of being a spy, which she has always denied. we are camping out in solidarity with nazanin, she has gone on hunger strike in iran. we can't see that, but said if she was going on hunger strike we would do it here. obviously you can see me, and i am doing it in front of the iranian embassy. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe's case is intricately connected with the difficult relationship between the uk and iran, which has just become even more tense. london has accused tehran of being behind attacks on two oil tankers in the gulf of oman, one of the world's busiest waterways.

iran says that isn't true, making its displeasure known in a meeting with the ambassador. jeremy hunt, who met mr radcliffe yesterday, has said compassion should be shown to nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe to allow her to return home to her family. for her husband and his supporters the wait continues, with no response yet from the iranian authorities. us president donald trump has once again taken to twitter to criticise mayor of london sadiq khan. retweeting a post from right wing commentator katie hopkins, he said yesterday "london needs a new mayor asap. khan is a disaster — will only get worse!" mr trump later followed it up with another post saying: "he is a national disgrace who is destroying the city of london!" the president's comments came after five attacks in london in less

than 2a hours left three men dead and three others injured. earlier i spoke to political scientist dr brian klaas about the effect of donald trump's controversial tweets. trump and sadiq khan have had a twitter spat back and forth for some time now. this tweet is amplifying katie hopkins, who is viewed in this country as quite extreme. it is another one of these long—standing feuds that is layered on top of trump's long—standing animosity, and i would say bigotry, towards muslim communities. why do you think you had such a... it almost looks like an obsession with sadiq khan, who is the mayor of london, an important figure, but you know, you sort of wonder why the president of the united states is devoting so much time to attacking him, calling him a

national disgrace. it is a useful foilfor trump's national disgrace. it is a useful foil for trump's base, because national disgrace. it is a useful foilfor trump's base, because the most obvious explanation here is that he is a high—profile muslim leader. trump has made part of his platform anti—muslim bigotry. we forget sometimes that in december of 2015, trump literally said we should ban all muslims from entering the us. it is an extremely far right position to have, so this foil of sadiq khan is usefulfor him, particularly as he heads into the 2020 election campaign. it is important that we don't lose sight of how unusual and unacceptable it is to mainstream these comments. katie hopkins has described migrants as cockroaches and used dehumanising language. previously, trump retweeted the leader of britain first, and islamophobic hate group here. how much support do you think

here. how much support do you think he has at the moment? he is one of the most unpopular president in us history but has a steady base. he has wavered between 3a and 35% at its lowest, to about 45% at his highest. that is a very narrow band. it is poor numbers if you are looking to get re—elected. normally, you want to have at least 50% support heading into a re—election campaign, particularly before your opponent has even been determined. trump is weak in the key states he needs to win next year. if i was his adviser, i would needs to win next year. if i was his adviser, iwould be needs to win next year. if i was his adviser, i would be worried about his popularity. it all depends on who runs against him. that is true up who runs against him. that is true up to who runs against him. that is true uptoa who runs against him. that is true up to a point, but the people who have decided they like donald trump have decided they like donald trump have decided they like donald trump have decided that and cannot be persuaded. no one who has been exposed to trump for the last two and a half years thinks they are still making up their mind on him. i think that no matter who the

candidate is, there will be people who will just say, candidate is, there will be people who willjust say, i will vote against donald trump. that is different from the past. people could be persuaded. police drone operators have worked through the night to monitor flood levels in a lincolnshire town where nearly 600 people have been evacuated from their homes. some residents in wainfleet were left with up to a metre of water in their homes when the river steeping burst its banks after two months worth of rainfal fell in just two days. the raf was called in, bringing bags of ballast to shore up the banks but levels have continued to rise — in a situation the environment agency says is "unprecedented". joining me now is chief inspector phil vickers, from lincolnshire police at the emergency rescue centre in lincoln. thanks for being with us, chief inspector. tell us, what is the latest situation with those people who have been evacuated? good

morning. the evacuation continues, the people evacuated around the breach area remain away from their homes. the bank itself is not secure. as we look ahead to the next few days, we can see we have storm forecast for tuesday into wednesday. we anticipate that there will be a prolonged period of evacuation around the wayne fleet area. where are the people who have been evacuated? the majority have self evacuated, so they have gone to stay with friends in locations away from the area. we have supported a number of vulnerable people with specific accommodation according to their needs. for the vast majority, we are not providing overnight accommodation. you talk about the weather in the coming week, and it sounds like the worst is not necessarily over. that is right. tuesday into wednesday is a real concern. the forecast is in the

region of 50—70 millimetres of additional rain onto land that is already soaked through, so we are making plans, all of the agencies working together, for those particular days. thank you so much for being with us. chief inspector phil vickers from lincolnshire police at the emergency rescue centre. the headlines on bbc news... dominic raab says his party will be toast if it does not take britain out of the eu by the 31st of october. another huge protest in hong kong as tens of thousands march — despite a government climb—down on its extradition bill to mainland china. the jailed british—iranian woman nazanin zaghari—radcliffe begins a new hunger strike — as tehran protests about british claims that iran was behind attacks on two oil tankers. sport and for a full round up,

we go over to the bbc sport centre. there is cricket, boxing, lots of sport to tell you about. yes, plenty going on today. british heavyweight tyson fury put on a show for the american boxing public. as he made quick work of the previously undefeated tom schwarz in las vegas. fury entered the ring wearing the the american stars and stripes on his shorts... in an outfit reminiscent of the character apollo creed in the rocky movies. and the audience were thoroughly entertained as fury exhibited all of his boxing prowess and skill to put schwarz down in the second round with some fast hands. he ended the fight moments later with a flurry of unanswered punches as the towel came in from the german's corner, and fury celebrated by serenading his wife with a rendition of aerosmith‘s ‘i don't want to miss a thing' — a true romantic at heart.

lets not get carried away. i put on a good show. i'm not going to look backin a good show. i'm not going to look back in time, i keep looking forward. i was happy with the way things went, but i was here to put ona things went, but i was here to put on a show tonight, and i think i did that with the apollo creed, ring girls,james that with the apollo creed, ring girls, james brown. i loved every minute of it. one of sport's most eagerly anticipated clashes is under way. india are taking on pakistan in the cricket world cup. well there is a carnival atmosphere at old trafford — the atmosphere aoutside the ground was pretty impressive before a ball had even been bowled. there were nearly 800 thousand applications for tickets and an estimated one billion people are expected to watch worldwide. this means so much. you know, people have been awake all night. they couldn't sleep, just to get here for this. we have come here only to

watch the match. keys 90 and supports india. tell us, what does this match mean to you, to win this game, how important is it? my wish was to see this match, and it has come true no. this match is so important, for india. this is more thana important, for india. this is more than a cricket match, this is war. i think the indians will be happiest in the stadium. rohit sharma is enjoying himself. you can... england's justin rose will go into the final round of the us open later today just one shot off the lead. topping

the leaderboard still is the american gary woodland, who will begin the day 11 under par at pebble beach. but rose, who's 2013 us open win remains his only major victory, is breathing down his neck — he moved to ten under after another impressive round in california. rory mcilroy is still among the chasing pack and is five shots off the lead. i'm not chasing. i'm so close to gary, i will go and play my game tomorrow. i think it will be dictated by the pin placement and the weather tomorrow as to how aggressive you can be and what it will take to win. i make no predictions tonight on what tomorrow will feel like. i will assess it in the morning. hopefully i will be in a better spot. i have been pleased with howl i have been pleased with how i have played all week. for the most part, i felt i played the right things. hopefully i will get a bit more out of the round tomorrow than i did today. i expect the conditions to be similar buti

today. i expect the conditions to be similar but i could see the course just getting a little firmer and a little faster, being a touch trickier. that's all the sport for now. you can follow the cricket on the bbc sport website. we will be back with more than the next hour. see you soon. one of the biggest rivalries is now under way, with india playing pakistan in the cricket world cup. the match at old trafford in manchester is expected to attract a global television audience of one billion. pakistan have won the toss and put india out to bat. secunder kermani is in islamabad, and rajini vaidyanathan is in delhi. both sides of the game covered. people there must be incredibly

excited. at the moment, india seem to be doing quite well. that's right, and pakistan don't have a good record against india in the world cup, having lost every single game they have played with them before. the last time pakistan played india in england, they won, giving hope to the fans. i am at a cricket ground in the centre of islamabad where a big screen has been put up. the crowd is a bit small but growing, partly because it is extremely hot here, but people are very excited. it has been one of the most talked about subject on twitter today, and that includes pakistani prime minister, imran khan, a former cricketing hero who has given the team advice and told them not to let the pressure get to them. iam them not to let the pressure get to them. i am joined them not to let the pressure get to them. iamjoined by them not to let the pressure get to them. i am joined by one of the fans who has come down, braving the heat, to watch the game. how big a deal is

pakistan versus india in cricket, and to the nation? we know it is a big rivalry. we just want pakistan to win this game for us. pakistan and india have often had a tense relationship and have fought a numberof wars against relationship and have fought a number of wars against each other, and there was a recent conflict in february — is it a way to bring the country together or to further that conflict in sport? the two nations are closer to each other. this can bring them closer to each other, and they may have a peaceful future in pakistan and india as well. that is what you hear from pakistan and india as well. that is what you hearfrom people pakistan and india as well. that is what you hear from people on the ground colon cricket is a way to unite the countries that have had such a tense past. thank you much indeed. india have got off to a
