five of the six candidates have gone head—to—head in their first televised debate on channel 4. the mps differed over whether a new brexit deal could be renegotiated with the eu, and the prospect of a no—deal brexit. they all agreed though that the next prime minister had to take britain out of the eu. the frontrunner, boris johnson, chose not to take part in tonight's debate, saying he'll instead participate in a bbc event on tuesday. our political correspondent, matt cole, is in stratford in east london where tonight's debate took place. how did it go? this is the spin room where we are getting mps and advisers who been watching the debate to give their reaction as to how their man performed. just five here, there was no borisjohnson. performed. just five here, there was no boris johnson. he performed. just five here, there was no borisjohnson. he was mentioned at the start, he was told that if he wa nted at the start, he was told that if he wanted to turn up there was a podium one you could stand out. he didn't.

jeremy hunt referred to him, wondering if he couldn't debate with five friendly faces, how can he go to brussels and get a deal with the eu? a mention from rory stewart, how he hoped one of those there would be the next prime minister, clearly excluding borisjohnson the next prime minister, clearly excluding boris johnson from that. different styles, michael gove looking straight into the camera a lot as he gave his answers. we warmest response in the room seem to be full rory stewart, who is lagging behind but most of the testy exchanges were over the issue of brexit. the minute we telegraphed to the eu, and this is the fundamental mistake, that we are not willing to walk away at the end of october, come what may, we take it off the table. the only thing we are 100% committed to is keeping our promises to the voters of the country. the leadership issue is about trust, and i'm the only one who can be trusted

to get us out at the end of october. when faced with impossible odds the only thing to do is to have a plan to deliver and i believe we can deliver an exit from the eu that strengthens our democracy, brings out strengthens our democracy, brings our united kingdom together and also allows us to have all the benefits of being a free trading country with reinvigorated institutions. we aren't going to get a different deal from europe. you and i have argued for the deal because it's a 550 page document, worked out in detail. you won't get changes from europe and your attempts will leave you stuck. cani your attempts will leave you stuck. can i bring in sajid javid here? the only thing that is realistic and credible in terms of a deal is to focus on the one thing that's got through parliament already, and that's the withdrawal agreement with a change to the backstop. that's it. of course it requires a change but you go to ireland, the key

decision—maker. you've got to change something and i say we should offer to pay for the costs of a new border, the so—called alternative arrangements which will change the mood music and has the best chance of succeeding. the first rule is that the other side have to have someone that the other side have to have someone they trust to deliver a deal, then you need someone... they didn't trust theresa may? let me finish. we must negotiate the deal. it is very difficult but i say it is fundamentally pessimistic to say that we can't do that because that means we are giving the country a stark choice of no deal, or no brexit? i'm joined by nicky morgan, chairman of the select committee but also a conservative mp and support of michael gove. how did your man come across? name across as a man, these are serious times, we need someone who's been in government, running three big departments, facing situations where people have written him off and he's come back and sorted it out. that was the

impression i think people took from the debate. interesting approach, he kept trying to look down the camera lens to talk to those beyond the studio. did it work? it's important to remember there is an audience. tonight was my audience was floating voters, people who may think about voting conservative but there is also the conservative members. i suspect many of them were watching. this is the first tv debate. he'll have wa nted this is the first tv debate. he'll have wanted to get the message to them, too. all five candidates in them, too. all five candidates in the room, boris johnson them, too. all five candidates in the room, borisjohnson missing. one of them could be your party leader, not necessarily michael gove, who you are backing. how did you think your party was represented? some ganging up on dominic raab, perhaps the most ardent brexiteer. people we re the most ardent brexiteer. people were passionate. michael wanted and is ready to lead but he said there is ready to lead but he said there is an abundance of talent on the stage, many people who would serve in government, many people with ideas about tackling the problems.

from all candidates, a realism of the challenges facing the country. a difficult process, we are choosing a party leader in the glare of publicity. that's also about scrutiny. we didn't see the one person who needs more scrutiny than anybody else perhaps, borisjohnson. isjeremy anybody else perhaps, borisjohnson. is jeremy hunt, borough anybody else perhaps, borisjohnson. isjeremy hunt, borough secretary, he said that if he can't be here with five friendly faces, how can he go to brussels? rory stewart said how he hope one of the people in the room would be the next by minister, clearly excluding borisjohnson. how disappointed are you thatjohnson didn't feel he had to come here? was he right not to be here?” didn't feel he had to come here? was he right not to be here? i think it's right in that it does get noisy discussing brexit because it matters, people have strong views and they want to see that their politicians and aspiring prime ministers care about it. michael is ready to deliver brexit. it's up to boris to explain why he hasn't taken part, and for those around him. as prime minister you shouldn't choose

which debates you take part in. we as parliamentarians are here to serve the people and if people organise debates to hear our views, we should make ourselves available. thank you, if your man makes it through, he should be on the bbc on tuesday. we are one down in terms of tv debates but quite a lot of voting and more tv to go, starting with the bbc on tuesday night. indeed. this was their opportunity to influence their own colleagues in their own party to see if they can get through. that's right. there's a little over 300 conservative mps and they are the ones who get to vote on tuesday, not the broader party members who eventually, when there are two candidates left, who get to vote. the people they really needed to convince right now of their own party colleagues and some would suggest that boris johnson has party colleagues and some would suggest that borisjohnson has spent the time on the phone party collea g u es

the time on the phone party colleagues trying to make sure his numbers grow even bigger. as things stand, mathematically he's not able to be knocked out of the process at all because he's got what, 114 votes now, with a few coming his way. there aren't enough votes left amongst the other mps to make sure two others can get more, so he's looking fairly secure in his position. forgive me, i'm looking over my shoulder because we are waiting for the defence secretary penny mordaunt, who may be able to join us. if i may, you are the defence secretary, but also you are pa rt defence secretary, but also you are part of team jeremy hunt. how did he do? i think he did very well. i'm very glad he didn't get involved in any of the punch and judy stuff going on amongst some candidates. some fisticuffs over brexit and he stood at the back of the podium. we aren't here to beat up members of the conservative party. we have to come through this, we have to come

together as one team if we are going together as one team if we are going to deliver brexit, and everything else the country needs us to. what we saw tonight was that decency coming through. he's the most experienced candidate in the contest. he's a statesman, and that really showed. how do you think your party was represented by the five candidates? boris johnson party was represented by the five candidates? borisjohnson not here. your man was the only person to expertly criticise borisjohnson your man was the only person to expertly criticise boris johnson for not turning up. i think we should be very conscious as conservatives that although we are the ones with the votes in this contest, we are also picking the next by minister, and there are many people out there who don't have a vote, so it is a courtesy to the general public that you so up for these hustings. it's not just about how well you may fare on the night, orjust in this context, it is a courtesy that we are with the public. those watching couldn't not acknowledge that rory

stewart seem to draw the warmest applause and get the best reactions from the audience. do you fear he may be coming up on the rails? jeremy hunt came second on thursday. are you confident he'll maintain that position? i think the first round of voting we've seen is where there is no tactics involved, it's who people want to go through into the final round. jeremy hunt obviously came second in that contest, a strong second. i think he'll pick up further support and i'm hoping obviously as i backing him that he'll be in the final. i admire all candidates for putting themselves forward but i think jeremy is the one who has the experience and the one who has a plan that is going to give us the best chance of getting a good brexit dealfor the uk. penny best chance of getting a good brexit deal for the uk. penny mordaunt, thanks forjoining us. this is it from the spin room. i'm sure we'll get more reaction as the evening goes on. that's the first live tv

debate in the tory party contest. all eyes looking to tuesday, the second round of voting when the magic figure is 33 votes needed to progress in the process. thanks, matt. do you have any questions for the next prime minister? on tuesday bbc one will be hosting a live election hustings between all the candidates left standing for conservative leader — and one of them will be the person who moves in to downing street. their debate will be shaped by your questions — and we're asking you to submit them in advance. full special coverage of course here on the bbc news channel. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages. our guests joining me tonight are nicola bartlett —

the political correspondent for daily mirror and broadcaster john stapleton. after severe flooding in lincolnshire, there are fears over the prospect of more heavy rain this week, with storms forecast. hundreds of people were forced to leave their homes at wainfleet after the river steeping burst its banks. luxmy gopal has this report. more than 500 workers have helped with their rescue operation but theirjob is far from over as there is a risk of yet more flooding to come. this is the worst flooding we have seen from rain in living memory. we are in a situation that 2—3 months of rain has fallen in a short period of time, landed on the ground and is overflowing everywhere you can imagine. just under 600 homes have been evacuated. residents have been told they should not return until wednesday at the earliest. businesses have also been affected. i've got a lot of tyres upstairs. most of the things upstairs is ok

but downstairs it is waterlogged. it is hard because it is an online business and people are still buying but i can't get down to get them out. high volume pumps have been brought in to channel way away. flood defences are holding for now but in the coming days that could change. let's now speak to shaun west, who is the assistant chief constable with lincolnshire police — he joins us from wainfleet. . thanks forjoining us. how does this experience compare with other floods you've seen in your part of the county? this is quite unprecedented, in 23 years service this has been the most challenging operation i've commanded, and for that reason it was declared as an emergency as a precaution. 600 homes remain evacuated. i authorised the raf with helicopters to shore up that breach we had in the river steeping, a temporary fix while we

try to find a sustainable solution. some landowners have been happy with how some of the agencies have responded. why not?|j how some of the agencies have responded. why not? i understand there is an issue around some of the causation of this in terms of why the river bank of the river steeping breached, and of course that's an issue for the environment agency, internal drainage boards, to have a look, when we are out of the response phase and into recovery. my focus is on making sure we are here for the initial response and we rescue those who are most vulnerable. with these experiences there is always a way of improving what you do for the next time. what have you decided must change to make that improvement? i think we've learned a lot from the 2013 and 2015 floods and the 2017 floods. they we re floods and the 2017 floods. they were in other areas of lincolnshire. we've learned a lot as a command

team. certainly we have tried the raf to nude before. we haven't proven the concept. we have on this occasion —— the raf chinook. we will have a debrief at the end of this one and we will take on board a lot from the previous floods i've referred to. it looks like more are forecast. how are you prepared to cope with that? we are into a period of respite from sunday into monday but as you say, more rain coming on tuesday into wednesday. so we've got high volume pumps at the moment redistributing some of the water where we have had that egress. of course my staff and across the entire lincolnshire area remain ready to rescue and indeed respond. we area

ready to rescue and indeed respond. we are a six into the emergency and we are by no means through it. —— we are at day six. . thanks forjoining us. the headlines on bbc news. the first televised debate in the race to be conservative leader and prime minister has taken place, but without boris johnson. contenders have clashed over how to deliver brexit. hong kong's leader apologises as hundreds of thousands stage another protest against plans for an extradition law, which has now been suspended. hundreds of people in lincolnshire still can't go back to their homes because of flooding, descibed by the environment agency as "unprecedented". sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly. it was one of the most keenly anticipated encounters at the cricket world cup if not in sport! in the end india comfortably beat pakistan by 89 runs in manchester. india's rohit sharma hit his second

century of the tournament. as they set a target of 336 runs for pakistan to chase — a world cup record target. sharma and virat kholi led the charge. kholi with 77 — no one put him out except himself though after ms dhoni edged behind he walked off, thinking he had nicked a hook shot to sarfaraz, but the replay showed he'd missed the ball, which kohli, watching in the dressing room, berated himself about as india reached their highest total against pakistan in england. a century partnership by fakhar zaman and babar azam kept pakistan's hopes alive, until a batting collapse. the game is thought to have attracted a worldwide audience of a billion people. the chelsea manager maurizio sarri has left the club to joinjuventus on a three—year deal. he only had one season at stamford bridge but led them to third in the premier league and they also won the europa league. he has signed a three—year deal at the italian champions.

frank lampard, the club's record goalscorer and current derby boss is favourite to replace him. in france, the united states produced another commanding display as they comfortably beat chile in paris. the usa — who rested seven players for this game — were quickly on top with carli lloyd putting them ahead early on. she'd go on to score the third as well afterjulie ertz header in the first half. chile, who are playing in their first world cup, must now beat thailand to have any hope of progressing to the knockout stages. sweden are also through after their 5—1win against thailand in nice. fridolina rolfo with the pick of the goals. thailand did manage to score their first goal in a world cup though after being thrashed 13—0 by the usa on tuesday. england's justin rose will go into the final round of the us open laterjust 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, whose 2013 us open win remains his only major victory, is breathing down his neck. he moved to 10—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, really. i am so close to gary that i will play my game tomorrow and 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 about how it is going to feel tomorrow. i will assess it in the morning but i couldn't be in a better spot. i have been pleased with how i played all week. i think i did the right things yesterday, but ijust need to get a bit more out of the round tomorrow than i did today and i am expecting

the conditions to be similar, but i could see the course getting a little firmer and faster, and being a touch trickier. british heavyweight tyson fury says he wants a rematch with the wbc champion deontay wilder after an impressive win in las vegas overnight against the german tom schwarz. fury put on a show for the american public. he maintained his unbeaten record. he entered the ring wearing a stars and stripes outfit reminiscent of the character apollo creed in the rocky movies. and although it didn't last very long, the crowd were thoroughly entertained as fury exhibited moves that may be from the matrix. he put schwarz down in the second round with some fast hand. he ended the fight moments later with a flurry of unanswered punches as the towel came.

he counselling as well. just what we need, thank you. let's get more reaction to the tv debate between five of the six conservative party leadership candidates. our correspondence matt coles is in east london. i'm joined by a supporter of dominic raab. he was going up on as perhaps the most ardent brexiteer, the man is determined to get out on october the 31st. strong performance, clear about his plan for brexit, getting out with a good deal on the 31st of october by making sure he keeps all options on the table. he spoke very clearly. no political speak, crystal—clear clarity not just clearly. no political speak, crystal—clear clarity notjust on brexit but for the future of the country, making sure we cut the

taxes for the lowest paid who are working hard and have seen no wage rises for many years. on the brexit point, the other candidates accused him of peddling nonsense, that there's no way he could get out by that date, there is talk of possibly proroguing parliament, but that he would be stopped. is it a fantasy? not at all, the best way to assure yourself of a great deal, a fair dealfor the uk yourself of a great deal, a fair deal for the uk and yourself of a great deal, a fair dealfor the uk and the eu is to keep your options on the table and that's what dominic raab has done, rightly so, and he talked about his plan to deliver a brexit budget and then prepare for the wto, but that's not where he wants to be. he wants to deliver a good deal. we also have victoria atkins, home office minister. your supporting sajid javid. he got some warm applause when he spoke about being an outsider all his life. everyone else seems to think that their person did

best, do you think the same of yours? of course, you're right, he got a warm reaction from the audience because i think a lot of people can relate to his own experiences. he's beat the odds, he was told he shouldn't take a masoe level and then he went on to college and had an incredible career, striking multinational deals around the world. he's reached one of the highest offices of state in our country and i think he represents the modern 21st—century britain that we are, and that would be a great thing for us to have. he has a long way to make up. he isn't over the 33 votes he needs, he didn't get that on thursday. that's where we're heading on tuesday. was there enough to convince conservative mps to support him? yes, number of collea g u es support him? yes, number of colleagues rightly are taking time over the weekend to reflect and consider. we respect that and i think they'll be a lot of movement

tomorrow. thank you. if i think they'll be a lot of movement tomorrow. thank you. ifi can bring in david gauke briefly. your supporting rory stewart. he got the most applause, but is that enough when he so far behind? you're right, he got the most applause in the room and that's what tends to happen, he connects with people. he's a good person whether it's out on one of his walks, or whether he's in the audience. that counts for something because he's a great communicator. he can connect with people and i think that's what the conservative mps are going to be looking for, someone who can do that. yet our arguments across, to win the general election and to unite the country andi election and to unite the country and i think rory has the ability to do that. thank you. there we go, some of the earlier action in the debate. thank you, matt. there's been a third mass demonstration in central hong kong with hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets. yesterday the territory's chief executive, carrie lam, suspended controversial plans to allow extradition

to the chinese mainland. the demonstrators are calling for the proposals to be completely withdrawn, and some want mrs lam to resign. power is slowly being restored to argentina and uruguay after a huge electrical failure left large parts of both countries without electricity. the argentine president promised a full investigation after the outage forced trains to be halted and failures with traffic signalling. the blackout followed the failure of the country's coastal grid, though the full cause is yet to be established. according to reports, brazil and paraguay were also affected. provincial elections were scheduled in parts of argentina, and voting is going ahead, but with some delays. local media have been showing voters filling their ballots in the dark, with mobile phones being used as lanterns. 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. her husband, richard ratcliffe is also on hunger strike and has spent his first night camping outside the iranian embassy in london. joining me now from east london is eilidh macpherson. she is the individuals at risk campaigns manager for amnesty uk — and has been working with nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe's family. . thanks forjoining us. what impact do you expect the latest actions between the uk and iran to have on nazanin's case? thanks for having me. it's important to know in this case there has been constant rumours of the political implications of lots of different factors in her case. ultimately it's almost impossible to know what impact that will have on her case. we as amnesty

alongside richard and his family and his coalition of supporters will continue to call for her unconditional release. what attitude are you seeing in iran to other people with dual nationality? we've seen a pattern of dual nationals being targeted, which has increased in recent months. we see nazanin's continued detention and the games that have been played between the iranians authorities and her treatment as part of this. what's your view of nazanin and richards decision to go on hunger strike?|j decision to go on hunger strike?” mean it's heartbreaking that it's come to this. it's an extreme decision, one that hasn't been taken lightly. nazanin and richard, joining her in support with a hunger strike. we know that this is something that she's been thinking about doing. her daughter,

gabriella, as her fifth about doing. her daughter, gabriella, as herfifth birthday on tuesday. that's been a milestone for her in wanting to be out and feeling like she has few options. a hunger strike is one way to amplify her case and richard has chosen to join her. what evidence is there that the uranian government are going to take any notice? we know that the iranians take notice of the campaign in the uk and around the world. we get reaction when richard and i have demonstrated outside the embassy and around the country. it's hard to know what effect it will have but we know what effect it will have but we know that the iranian authorities ta ke know that the iranian authorities take into account that action. how realistic is it to expect that the british government can lobby on behalf of the right cliffs when there are these other tensions to do with the goal for the mana?

there are these other tensions to do with the goalfor the mana? —— there are these other tensions to do with the goal for the mana? —— the radcliffe family. —— the golf of demand. we are continuing to urge the british government at all levels to call for her unconditional release. there was a call from richard for diplomatic retention, which was taken on board by the british government. —— diplomatic protection. we hope they will continue to take action and we hope that who is successful in the leadership election will have it as a priority.. thanks forjoining us. now on bbc news, just how bad can a migraine get — and how close are we to a cure? newsbeat reporter shiona mccallum meets some of the thousands of sufferers and the scientists trying to help them.

i'm going to go lay down.
