of mental illness as part of plans unveiled by theresa may. and sir andy murray says he's pain—free as he prepares to return to competition this week for the first time since having major hip surgery. good morning. welcome to bbc newsroom live. borisjohnson's position as the frontrunner to become the next prime minister has been bolstered, despite his decision not to join the five other candidates in a televised debate last night. he's received the backing of the health secretary, matt hancock, who dropped out of the race on friday. tweeting last night, matt hancock tweeted, "it's time to unite. i'm backing boris to be the next pm on a pro—enterprise one nation ticket." these are the six candidates in the race, going into what could be a decisive week of the contest. so what happens next?

tomorrow, conservative mps will vote for a second time — candidates need 33 votes to progress. that will be followed by a bbc leadership debate, which borisjohnson will take part in. a third, fourth and fifth ballot, if needed, will follow on wednesday and thursday. and once the final two candidates have been selected, the first hustings for conservative party members will get under way. the winner is expected to be announced in the week beginning 22nd july. with me now is our assistant political editor, norman smith. what is the fallout from the debate? i think teen borisjohnson are probably feeling pretty relaxed, because there wasn't really any game changer in the debate. no one came a cropper, but nobody push themselves to the front of the queue to be the main stand out challenger to boris johnson. i think as people a look at

the pummelling that dominic raab took for perrot attending to pirogue parliament, they would thought that would be not a good idea. journalists like myself, boris johnson will again not be there. it doesn't seem to be hurting him in this contest, that he is not putting himself forward for public scrutiny. the fact he is getting backing from matt hancock, the fact he is hiding away from the media doesn't seem to be damaging his cause, at least not yet. one of his rivals said that he had to be tested if he gets through or when he gets through to the ballot of party members. at the moment, yes, of course it is the case that boris is the frontrunner. but we need to make sure that he is tested

and that we have a two candidates go forward, if boris is one of them, who we know are capable of being prime minister from day one. and one thing that everyone in this race has acknowledged is that i've shown in three government departments a grip of detail, a command of policy, and ability to make changes happen, which means that if, for any reason, i were to become the candidate against boris and then to win, which i believe that i can do, then i would be ready to be prime minister. if anything, the momentum behind the borisjohnson if anything, the momentum behind the boris johnson bandwagon seems if anything, the momentum behind the borisjohnson bandwagon seems to be picking up steam again, with the support of matt hancock, because i think there had been a hope from those who want to stop borisjohnson that perhaps he might have thrown in his lot with one of the rivals to create an alternative centre of gravity to the boris johnson campaign. that clearly hasn't

happened. mr hancock says he supports boris johnson happened. mr hancock says he supports borisjohnson because he think he would govern as a one nation conservative. a lot of people think the support was probably motivated in part by a desire on mr hancock's part to make sure he is pa rt hancock's part to make sure he is part of any future government which borisjohnson part of any future government which boris johnson sets up. meanwhile questions for the future direction for labour. these questions have been going on for some time, haven't they? tom watson has said it before but he says it again quite forcefully, he things that labour needs to be the party of remain. in more. language was up previously, he has talked about the party being mealy—mouthed and how it is haemorrhaging support from remained backers. today, he went a lot further, saying that the party for far too long has been scared to art oi’ far too long has been scared to art ora far too long has been scared to art or a pro—european case. far too long has been scared to art ora pro—european case. in far too long has been scared to art or a pro—european case. in his view, that europe has been in line with

labour principles. he was saying in effect that labour needs to get off the fence, back another referendum and back remain. european is who we are and who we have always been. our members are remain, our values are remain. our hearts are remain. we need our labour party to be true to who we are and be loud and proud in support of europe. so the argument troubles on in labour circles around whether they should shift to backing another render random and campaigning to remain in the eu. my sense that will not happen with team corbin in charge, because they looked at the peterborough result, where labour won the by—election, maintaining the halfway strategy, not committing to

one side or the other, and i think tea m one side or the other, and i think team corbyn will say, you know what? our strategy is not doing too badly, let's stick with it. let's go to westminster now and talk to sebastian payne, whitehall correspondent for the financial times. we will talk about the tories in a moment, but as we heard from tom watson, let's start with that, is there any prospect ofjeremy corbyn changing that halfway house strategy? i don't think so. as norman was saying, the labour leadership is firmly decided that it has got this strategy are sitting on the fence, trying to speak to remain voters in the cities and leave voters in the cities and leave voters out in the more provincial parts of the country. the peterborough by—election was a reflection of that. jeremy corbyn's tea m reflection of that. jeremy corbyn's team are aware that something like 70% of their top marginal seats all voted to leave the eu. if they do

move firmly behind remain, it will cause them big issues come the next general election. but there is a ha rd general election. but there is a hard deadline for mr corbyn, which is the labour party conference. there are a lot of moves going on behind—the—scenes from trade unions, from momentum, mr corbyn's grassroots outriders, antrim constituency labour party members to put forward a clear motion that will move labour's party momentum from leave to remain. he will try not to do anything at the moment until autumn, and the words we have heard from tom watson today we have heard before, he will say them again. the fa ct before, he will say them again. the fact is, untiljeremy corbyn is full to buy conference, things will continue as they are. there was a leadership debate last night. has anything changed after that? at this stage of the debate, it is about momentum, who is gaining or losing,

and who is stalling. borisjohnson has got momentum and is picking it up. he has got esther mcvey yesterday, he gained matt hancock this morning, so when we come to the second round of voting tomorrow, i expect boris will get even more mps than he has away got. for that crucial second place on the ballot paper, rory stewart is gaining momentum at a quick rate here. he gave an eccentric performance in the debate, he went fully against boris johnson. i think a lot of mps, the kind of folks who supported matt hancock, are saying, if we are going to have someone who will take the battle to boris, maybe it is rory. i thought sajid javid was gaining a little bit momentum, but all of these mps have to gain 33 mps by ten again tomorrow. if they don't have those mps, they will get knocked out of the contest before the next

debate. sajid javid is doing ok, jeremy hunt is coasting, clearly the candidate of the tory establishment. he didn't really surprise or change anything. dominic raab is struggling, i can't see where his extra supporters are coming from. he had quite a difficult campaign, as has michael gove, who is a very accomplished debater, a good public speaker, and that came across in the debate last night. but i'm not sure how he will get that momentum forward to make himself stand out from the other candidates. as you said, the important thing is looking at who has got the momentum to get the second place go through to the last round alongside borisjohnson. is borisjohnson last round alongside borisjohnson. is boris johnson now last round alongside borisjohnson. is borisjohnson now looking unstoppable? i think unstoppable? ithink so, unstoppable? i think so, if you look at the

polls, they show a huge majority for borisjohnson. the last one of those surveys showed that over 52% of conservative party members want boris to be their next leader. rory stewart ca m e boris to be their next leader. rory stewart came second, mind you, but that was a0 points behind boris. at this stage, there is an increasing feeling among the grassroots party and the parliamentary party that this is borisjohnson's time, that poll after poll shows that he is anyone who can make tories feel good about themselves, the only one who has the chance to stifle the oxygen of nigel farage and can put pressure onjeremy corbyn. the idea of having a potent anyone but boris candidate is appealing to those mps who do not like him. that person was always going to emerge, some thought it would be sajid javid, others thought it would be michael gove, but based on that pure thing of momentum, it looks to be rory stewart. at this

rate, boris is shying away from the media, not appearing at the hustings this morning, where he was talking to over two 100 journalists, but he is doing the debate on the bbc tomorrow where he will finally get some scrutiny, and we will see how he fares with those other mps all going after him. well, do you have any questions for the next prime minister? tomorrow, bbc one will be hosting a live election hustings, with all the candidates left standing for conservative leader, one of whom of course, will be moving to number 10. that debate will be shaped by your questions, and we're asking you to submit them in advance. email haveyoursay@bbc.co.uk with your question, and do include your name and contact number if you're interested in asking it live from your local bbc studio. you can watch the full coverage on the debate on bbc news channel at 8pm tomorrow. the founder of the chinese technology giant, huawei, has said that his company will slash

production by $30 billion over the next two years as it struggles with us—imposed sanctions. the new laws have banned us companies and companies using american technology from doing business with huawei. the company's boss, ren zhengfei, likened his company to a badly—damaged airplane. joining me now from shanghai is our china correspondent, robin brant. that is some hit the company has taken from these sanctions. yeah, a reversal of fortunes. they had record fortunes, much of that because of really healthy growth in the smartphone market. they are now the smartphone market. they are now the world pot number two smartphone manufacturer. but ren zhengfei is warning today at their headquarters in the south of china that the us restrictions are really going to bite in the two years ahead. he is

forecasting a drop of about $30 billion. that is maybe 15% in terms of what they were forecasting. but he believes there will be a rejuvenation down the line. thank you. the hong kong student leader, joshua wong, who was the face of democracy protests in 201a, has been released from prison. speaking to reporters outside jail, he backed the mass protests against the controversial extradition bill and said hong kong's leader carrie lam should resign. joshua wong's release comes a day after a huge demonstration that organisers say brought nearly two million people onto the streets. this extradition amendment, and how it was permitted on hong kong citizens, it is just the tactics and the strategy used

by president xi, the evil leader of hong kong, carrie lam, to suppress human rights. now is the time to voice our dissatisfaction. the police used tear gas, pepper spray, they try to physically assault activists from hong kong, that delivers a clear signal. the government, the regime, tried to turn a whole generation of citizens from a normal resident living in hong kong to a whole generation of dissidents. when we realise how the police physically assault activists and protesters in hong kong, at the same time, we realise how carrie lam claims that the demonstration was a riot. we urge carrie lam to apologise, and at the same time withdraw her definition and her understanding on the demonstration that happened last week,

it is kind of civil disobedience and direct action, instead of riots. what we are asking is to withdraw the extradition proposal, at the same time, carrie lam should step down. she is not capable enough to be leader of hong kong. let's speak to our reporter, martin yip, in hong kong. martin, 2 million on the streets yesterday was extraordinary. now of course the student activists joshua wong saying that carrie lam must go. how much pressure is the leadership under there? it is hard to judge in one sense because you under there? it is hard to judge in one sense because you may argue under there? it is hard to judge in one sense because you may argue that today we have a smaller protest. but still if you look at yesterday, on sunday, according to the organisers, there were up to 2 million people on there were up to 2 million people on the streets. that is quite a lot of pressure. what we have seen so far

from the government is carrie lam has only issued a written statement saying she apologise to the society. if you really drill into how it is raised in chinese itself, the phrase is apologising orjust saying sorry. people are not happy about it. just around an hourago, people are not happy about it. just around an hour ago, the protesters have been 70 metres to my best, to the chief executive office, chanting for her to come out. in order to have a dialogue with these people. obviously they have not succeeded so far. now is the time when people start to get off work, so it looks like some people who have come out from the office have come here to beef up the crowd here. the

protesters say they will continue to go out until the bill is capped altogether. there are things that will mitigate against people coming out on the streets in the same numbers. how long do you think the protests could go on for? that is another crystal ball question, i'm afraid. we have spoken to some protesters, they just afraid. we have spoken to some protesters, theyjust don't know how long it will take. they will also keep doing what they are doing. they are changing the tactics, they realise it might not be some that will happen overnight. so they are talking about protesting today are going for some rest, coming back for more protests until what they are demanding happens. that is the full withdrawal of this bill to the existing extradition laws in hong kong as well as the resignation of carrie lam, the chief executive here. beijing has shown that support

to her, as well as saying that certain western media, naming no names, there was a quote in the press co nfe re nce names, there was a quote in the press conference today, basically blaming the western media. ring up the situation in hong kong. carrie lam still has some backing, but we will see how long that lasts. thank you. the headlines on bbc news: after missing last night's tv debate, borisjohnson receives a boost in the conservative party leader contest as the health secretary, matt hancock, says he's the best candidate to unite the country. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, urges his party to make a strong case for staying in the eu. iran announces that it will soon breach the limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium, that was capped under the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

iran has confirmed that it will surpass the agreed limits on its nuclear stockpile in ten days time. an iranian spokesman said european nations should act to relieve sanctions imposed by the us, which pulled out of the deal last year. it comes after two oil tankers were attacked in the gulf of oman on thursday. the iranians have denied any involvement. with me now is our diplomatic correspondent, jonathan marcus. they are trying to put pressure on the international community. how serious is this threat? i think it is very serious. the iranians announced this back in early may, that this was the direction they were going to go into begin to breach the terms of the nuclear deal or stop they put the onus firmly on the europeans to try to do something to relieve the pressure of us economic sanctions. i

don't think in reality there is much that the europeans actually can do, so it looks as though the trajectory for iran is set now. they say that before the end of this month they will actually physically be in breach of one element of the agreement. since early may, the context has changed dramatically. we have had two sets of attacks on tankers, and the blame has been put squarely at the door of iran. some sort of clash between tehran and washington. a subtext of a moving away from the nuclear deal going on beneath it, it adds a new element of danger to what is a shaky situation. here we are hearing that cobra has been meeting this morning to discuss those recent events in the gulf. of course, there are important aspects for britain. british shipping is to

some extent involved in the region, clearly. there is a brittle naval base in the region, a small number of warships actually deployed there. so the safety of british mariners, the safety of those warships is obviously of critical concern stop we understand that there are a small number of marines being sent out to increase security in the region. but it isa increase security in the region. but it is a huge worry. not everybody believes that there will be a war between the us and iran. i think the real fear is that conflict could erupt by accident rather than by design, the pressures are being stoked up and the czech terry of iran seems to be in this direction. —— that trajectory. mr trump seems to be seen as erratic by many of his

allies. people can't determine quite what america once out of this crisis, quite what they want iran to do, quite what america is prepared to do to push iran into that position. i think again uncertainty is what drives the danger, if you like, ina is what drives the danger, if you like, in a crisis like this. thank you. every new teacher in england will be trained to spot the early warning signs of mental illness. the plans will be unveiled by theresa may later today. other measures include extra support for social workers, local authorities and healthcare services. paul farmer, is chief executive of mind, the mental health charity. a lot of people will be surprised that teachers don't get that kind of training inside their initial training, to be able to spot the signs of young people. we know that the average classroom contains at least three people and possibly for people with a mental health problem. that is important. it needs to be

pa rt that is important. it needs to be part of a chain of support. nobody wa nts part of a chain of support. nobody wants teachers to become psychiatrists, they need to signpost the problems that are materialising for it is not happening quickly enough. people affected by flooding in the lincolnshire town of wainfleet have been told to avoid using washing machines, toilets and showers. hundreds have had to leave their homes and have been told they won't be able to go back until at least the middle of this week. an investigation by the bbc found evidence that young people on merseyside are being offered hundreds of pounds to stab each other by older gang leaders. the claims, which were recorded by youth workers in the city, were studied by the bbc‘s beyond today podcast and have been linked to at least one recent stabbing. merseyside police said it was aware organised crime groups used violence to settle disputes. last week, figures showed more than 22,000 knife or weapon offences were recorded in england and wales in the past year — the highest number since 2010.

the boss of ethiopian airlines has hit back at claims that his company's pilots were partly to blame for a crash which killed 157 people in march. speaking to the bbc he said that american senators who criticised the pilots' training were misinformed. boeing has now grounded all of its 737—max planes, worldwide. simon browning reports from ethiopia. parked and hidden away. four boeing jets, not seen since they were confined to this spot at the end of the runway here in addis ababa. the fifth jet, the fleet‘s sister aircraft, was lost in a devastating crashjust six minutes after taking off back in march. around the world, the boeing 737 max is now grounded. we are in a village about 125 kilometres south of addis ababa. just over my shoulder here, behind that wooden fence, is where ethiopian airlines flight 302 came down just about three months ago,

with the loss of 157 lives. no police or security are here. but, with debris still strewn across the area, the investigation into who was responsible for what happened is becoming an international dispute. one leading american politician is one of many voices in the united states blaming the pilots. pilots trained in the united states would have successfully been able to handle the situation. but the boss of ethiopian airlines disagrees. the senator seems to be seriously misinformed, or he doesn't have the facts at hand when he says that. why else would they have grounded 380 planes all over the world? simple, right? the facts speak for themselves. a sense of shock still exists at the airline's huge flight school, where leading pilots strongly defended their colleagues' actions. i think our pilots have done whatever they could, whatever was recommended

by boeing as well, to save the aircraft, but they couldn't. boeing is working on changes to the flight control system that the pilots wrestled with before crashing. but, for now, these jets are sealed, covered and going nowhere soon as the battle over who is to blame continues. simon browning, bbc news, in addis ababa. our international business correspondent, theo leggett, is at the paris air show where boeing is being discussed. this is normally a great opportunity for the aerospace giants to put on a show, to announce new orders and say how well they're doing. but, at this show, all the emphasis is on boeing and the 737 max — when will it fly again? that aircraft has been grounded since the ethiopian airlines crash in march. there is no sign of it flying anytime soon. boeing's chief executive said yesterday that it might fly before the end of the year. but that's about it. as for shifting blame around, the preliminary reports into both

737 max accidents have suggested very strongly that the problem started, at least, with a flight control system, a piece of the software, but activated at the wrong time and forced the aircraft into a dive when they were supposed to be climbing. now, american politicians, perhaps you can call them friends of boeing, have been trying to cast of the blame around a little bit. boeing itself says that the actions of the pilots and the software failure were all part of a chain of events. but you can see, with questions of liability hanging over boeing, questions of reputation hanging over boeing and hanging over the us regulator, the federal aviation administration and hanging over ethiopian airlines, there is now a blame game going on. you can read more about boeing, and the "battle over blame" by heading to bbc.co.uk/news. now it's time for a look at the weather.

after a ll after all the wet weather we have had over the last few days, some of us had over the last few days, some of us have at least got some sunshine this morning, a welcome sight in london with those blue skies was not it'll turn warm here later on this afternoon. we have not got loose quys afternoon. we have not got loose guys everywhere, though. it has been wet through wales and northern england a patchy rain continuing here into the afternoon. some showers pushing into the midlands was not heavy showers for scotland and northern ireland. sunny spells but thunderstorms likely with some gusty winds associated with those showers, particular in central and southern areas showers, particular in central and southern areas was showers, particular in central and southern areas was not maximum temperature is 16 to 18 celsius. in the south—east, temperatures up to about 21 to 23 degrees. tonight, some of the showers plays away, some more persistent rain heading into the north—west. we could see some showers that could turn heavily and foundry in the south—east of england through tuesday night. more details on that in about half an hour, but

to purchase up to about 20 celsius was not goodbye. —— but temperatures up was not goodbye. —— but temperatures up to about 20 celsius. goodbye. hello this is bbc newsroom live: the headlines: after missing last night's tv debate, borisjohnson receives a boost in the conservative party leader contest as health secretary, matt hancock, says he's the best candidate

to unite the country. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, urges his party to make a strong case for staying in the eu. iran announces that it will soon breach the limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium, that was capped under the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. after being released from prison, the democracy activist joshua wong says he's ready to join the protests, and calls on hong kong's chief executive to resign. and coming up — as the uk aims to become carbon neutral by 2050 — we meet a family who gave up their dayjobs to live off—grid in wales. sport now, here's will perry. the american gary woodland has won golf‘s third major title of the year — he finished three shots clear of the defending champion brooks koepka at the us open, with englishmanjustin rose fading in his final round.

rose was just one shot behind woodland going into the final day at pebble beach, but the former world number one carded five bogeys. he hasn't won a major now for six years. when you look at it you need to reflect and ask how you can get better. there is no use letting it hurt too much. it hurts if you make a mistake at the death. the way it happened to me today... i am proud of the fact that i even gave myself a chance. i have worked hard my whole life, and being surrounded by amazing people. i always wanted to be successful. i was always amazed, fell in love with golf, and it has transcended into today. it all kind of came out with me. i never got my self ahead of myself. it's kind of all came out. it's kind of all came out.

the west indies are taking on bangladesh in a match neither side can afford to lose at the cricket world cup. bangladesh won the toss at taunton and put the windies in to bat. white mackley wendy's got into a bad start. they have settled things a little bit since then. —— start. they have settled things a little bit since then. -- the windies got into a bad start. well india are still unbeaten after comfortably beating their arch rivals pakistan in one of the most watched global sporting events of the year. up to a billion people are thought to have tuned into the match at old trafford yesterday. rohit sharma hit his second century of the tournament as virat kohli's side won by 89 runs in a reduced overs game after rain saw play delayed twice. the victory moves india above england into third after four games. meanwhile, pakistan drop to ninth — only afghanistan are below them in the table. you can see the full details here. only india and new zealand remain unbeaten, but australia are top of the pile. remember only the top four sides will make the semi finals. england will be without opener

jason roy for their next two world cup matches. roy suffered a hamstring tear during the eight—wicket win over west indies last friday. captain eoin morgan could be fit though to face afghanistan at old trafford tomorrow after suffering a back spasm. defending champions the usa are through to the last 16 of the women's world cup, after beating chile 3—0 in paris. veteran striker ca rli lloyd scored twice to become the first player to score in six consecutive women's world cups games. she wasted the chance for a hattrick though — missing a late penalty which was awarded by var. they may have conceded 18 goals in their first two matches but thailand scored their first ever world cup goal yesterday, in a 5—1 defeat against sweden. look how much it meant to their manager. the result sent sweden into the knockout stages. england striker toni duggan says she's "itching to get out there" after being declared fit for theirfinal group match against japan on wednesday. duggan tweaked a thigh in training a day after the lionesses arrived in france and missed their opening

two matches in group d. she's expected to play a part againstjapan though with both sides already guaranteed a place in the last 16. you wait four years for another world cup to come round, then you go through all the training, and wanting to get picked, then you get on the plane finally, and then on your first day of training, you get injured. really frustrating on a personal level, but really part of the girls and the team. hopefully, i can help the team in any way that i carl. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. staying with sport as sir andy murray makes his return to the tennis court this week at queens club in the doubles event. just six months ago the two—time wimbledon champion broke down in tears in front of the world's media when he revealed he may never play competitive tennis again after a serious hip injury.

but following surgery he says he's pain free and enjoying playing again. he spoke to sally nugent. what is life like now pain—free? it is significantly better. i am doing lots of things that i certainly would not have been doing six months ago, playing golf, escape rooms, spending more time with friends. you seem surprised by that? escape rooms? they sound like my worst nightmare. i love them. so you get locked in a room? locked in a room... i have been doing this with friends and family, locked in a room and you try to escape within an allotted time. is it about strategy? i would never have done anything like that a few days before a tournament before because my hip would hurt and when i finished practising i would just want to sit with my feet up and rest. now i can do all that stuff. it is nice.

at the worst point, how tricky was life for you? people who have had arthritic hips will know how difficult it can be. i probably did not realise it at the time but how unhappy it can make you as well and how long and tiring some of the days can feel. did you think it would ever affect your mental health? yes. definitely. let's talk about queen's club. you are paired with feliciano lopez. how is that dynamic working? i know you love him. i like him a lot. we got on well since i first came on the tour. we practice together quite a bit.

we never play doubles with each other before but i want to enjoy time on the court. he is a good grass court player. do you feel the love? yes, do you feelthe love? yes, i do, and especially when i play, you know, when i play at home. support‘s a lwa ys when i play at home. support‘s always been brilliant here. and hopefully, when we get out on the court, it will be the same again. let's return to the news that labour's deputy leader tom watson is urging his party to do more to make the case for remaining in the eu. he's been speaking at the centre for european reform in london. mr watson's comments will add to the pressure onjeremy corbyn

to clarify the party's policy on brexit, which some activists believe helped push labour into third place in last month's european elections. let's listen to what he's been saying. for decades, the european union has been defined by the right. they define it as anti—democratic, bureaucratic and anti—british. none of these things are true. yet the british left has not counted this narrative. our belief in the eu has been whispered, not shouted. it's been taken as read by generations of labour politicians that the european union is, at best, a necessary evil. that it is a major trading bloc we can't afford to be outside of in the globalised world, that the economic benefits make it worth putting up with the parts we don't like. labour is still doing that now. we talk about the evils of no—deal, until we are blue in the face, because we are still scared to tell

the truth about europe. we are more comfortable warning of an ineffable catastrophe because we are hard—wired to be unable to say the words that i've come here to say this morning. the european union is not something to apologise for. it is a good thing. it is a good thing with a capital g. an enduring, deep, benevolent collaboration, between sovereign states, unique in the history of the world. it produced a lasting peace from the ashes of war. it produced prosperity, where there had been deprivation. it produced transnational partnerships, where once there was suspicion and division. it's not perfect, but what large institution is? the core values of the eu are internationalism, solidarity, freedom.

those are british values. and they are labour values, too. last week the prime minister theresa may announced that the uk is aiming to be carbon neutral by 2050 — which would mean big changes to how we live our lives. but some people are already making radical choices to lower the amount of carbon dioxide they produce, with some households doing what's known as going off—grid. reporter mike cowan went along to meet the watkinson family who gave up their dayjobs to live a simpler life in wales. we're in pembrokeshire, in the far west of wales, to meet the watkinson family now. now, they've lived completely off grid for two years now. matthew and his wife used to be vets, until they gave it up to live

here. it's basicallyjunk. took me through it. the first thing that i got up here. was the old horse lorry. we have also got the camper van. that's our bedroom. with the family going, we got two great big huge trailers, and slid them in behind, and then build the little cabin on top. wales has one of the most progressive policies in the uk, when it comes to living off grid, thanks to the decades—old one planet development scheme. soa so a bio digester basically means you are creating gas from your food waste. so these are our solar

panels. i don't think we have reduced our electricity use that much. we charge a fence, we've got the fridge and freezer, watch tv.“ britain is to be carbon neutral by 2050, the way that we power our homes will be key to achieving it. i went to the centre for alternative technology to meet tim brewer, an expert in living off grid. so, in our cities, where the majority of the populations live, how can we realistically work towards a neutral future. there is basically solar electrics, and solar water heating panels. they are very mature technologies, and they are applicable for most households in the uk. but in reality, we need national government policies. we need to be generating large amounts of renewable energy from our resources around the country. how

long do you think before way more people like you start doing this? the planning process is such a barrier, that i don't know how many people will end up doing it in time to make a big difference. the united nations say that we have as little as 11 years to stop a climate catastrophe. to take it —— to halt it, will take difficult decisions from governments, and a willingness from governments, and a willingness from us as individuals. if we are to hold a catastrophe, it is a way of life that cars as a society will have to adopt sooner rather than later. the british restaurant chain, wahaca, has made a u—turn after making a waiter pay when customers he'd been serving in north london walked out without settling the bill. the incident was witnessed by another diner who condemned it as shameful. keith doyle has the story. the wahaca mexican restaurant chain says it provides an environment as enjoyable for its staff as for its customers, but when diners left without paying at a north london branch, it was the waiter who had

to pay part of the bill, according to a customer who tweeted her outrage. the customer, sarah hayward, a former labour leader of camden council, said making this server foot the bill was shameful employment practice. wahaca said it only made servers cover part of the bill in rare cases of real negligence but it has now clarified its policy and said staff would no longer have to contribute if customers leave without paying. it said the waiter in question did not have any pay deducted. the chain, which has 25 restaurants across the uk, was founded by masterchef winner thomasina miers. the row has highlighted the working conditions for waiting staff. the union unite said it has received similar reports from other chains where staff, already on low wages, are expected to pay for the dishonesty of some customers. keith doyle, bbc news.

revised its economic forecast and it now says that growth this year will be a bit better than previously thought. 1.3% rather than 1.2%. but for the next two years, it says growth will be lower than its last forecast. it warns: a messy and disorderly brexit remains the main risk to the uk economy. let's get the thoughts of surrender. thank you for being with us. your forecast says that stockpiling this year has boosted growth some what, but inevitably, you say that will come down in the next couple of yea rs. come down in the next couple of years. i suppose it's important to stress that the economy is still growing despite the negative brexit forecasts ? growing despite the negative brexit forecasts? absolutely. but what we are seeing is the effect of the brexit impasse, shifting the uk's

economic outlook. largely due to strong q1, economic outlook. largely due to strong 01, has resulted in the brexit stockpiling, but the flip side of that, as we are likely to see weaker output, we can investment over the next couple of years, as firms de stock. can we contrast your forecast today, with the chartered a ccou nta nts forecast today, with the chartered accou nta nts of forecast today, with the chartered accountants of england and wales who put out their forecast last week, saying that brexit is not actually holding the economy back as many had feared. on the ground, we are hearing something different. it is having a chilling effect on activity across the uk. that is not the only factor. we are also seen the cost of business going up, the effects of policy driving weakening investment in particular. also, the global economy is rather sluggish, impacting on our trade performance. 0k, both impacting on our trade performance. ok, both you and the institute of chartered accou nta nts ok, both you and the institute of chartered accountants is in agreement that a no—deal should be

avoided from an economic perspective. how would that actually change the figures in your forecast today? well, a no deal exit would wea ken today? well, a no deal exit would weaken the economy, because we are currently on quite a low weaker trajectory, and a no—deal brexit, could weaken the uk economy materially. that is clearly a concern. obviously, the next prime minister will have a big role in dictating what kind of brexit we get. while they're focuses on that, are there other kinds of aspects affecting the business community which are being overlooked? certainly, on brexit, the next prime minister needs to work to deliver a clear path forward, and avoid a no deal exit. we also have a comrade is a spending review coming up the next couple of months. the focus of that needs to be on delivering uk golf

long term. thank you very much. -- uk growth. the wife of carlos ghosn — the former nissan boss who's awaiting trial injapan on allegations of financial misconduct — has told the bbc that he's innocent and that she wants the us president donald trump to intervene. carole ghosn claims that japanese authorities tried to implicate her in the case against her husband who was first arrested last year and accused of hiding income and other perks from hisjob running the car—maker. she told our north america business correspondent, michele fleury that she hasn't seen her husband since he was rearrested in april. i saw my husband when he got arrested on aprilfour, when i saw my husband when he got arrested on april four, when the prosecutor stormed into the apartment at 5:50am. they took us by surprise, and they told carlos he is under arrest. and he got dressed, and they took him away. and during that period, did you have any contact with your husband? no, i have not spoken to him since then.

he got out on bail, however, they told him one of the bail conditions, the restrictions as he is not allowed to speak to me, or talk to me. which i find inhumane. so what do you think of the criminal charges against your husband? do you think of the criminal charges against your husband ?|j do you think of the criminal charges against your husband? i think all of this could have been dealt with internally within the company. even if there is, as alleged, wrongdoing? everything could have been dealt with internally. it did not need to go this far. on top of it, my husband is in the innocent, and time will prove the truth. in other business stories we've been following — does this sound finger licking good? kfc has launched a vegan chicken burger. the number of new vegan or animal—free products hitting the shelves has more than tripled

but parks across the country have suffered the brunt of council cuts in recent years. nottingham is one of eight towns which has secured a share of £11 million to safeguard the future of the city's open spaces. john maguire has been to a park in nottingham to find out how additional funding is breathing new life there. come on in, the water's lovely. in fact, it's a balmy 16 degrees. three times a week, this former gravel pit at colwick country park in nottingham is used and enjoyed by open water swimmers. tonight, there's even a group of the first timers. never really done open water, i don't really go swimming much. just haven't really entered any events, so yeah, just want to get into it and jump in at the deep end, literally! you'll have a great time, thank you. nottingham is one of eight towns and cities across the uk successful in bidding for extra money for parks and green spaces. £11 million is being given by the national lottery and the national trust to help find these open areas. this money is really important because for the first time it will allow us to get the breathing

space to think and research and develop new ideas for how we're going to manage our spaces in the future. so for instance, we'll be looking at new business opportunities. how we can create better facilities for our communities so we can have a cafe where the park runners can sit in afterwards, where families can go and enjoy themselves. it is a golden opportunity for us to plan notjust for tomorrow but for the next 20—30 years. such long—term strategies often fall foul of tightening council purse strings. but with an ever—increasing understanding of the physical and mental health benefits of open spaces, fresh air and these green lungs, are more important than ever. john maguire, bbc news, nottingham. now time to look at the weather with simon king. last week's wet weather is taking its toll on some of the rivers, particular round lincolnshire. low pressure still in charge of our weather, keeping

things unsettled. still if you are the fronts straddling through the united kingdom. one to the north—west, the other one weaving its way through parts of the midlands, wales and the north of england. further south and east, some sunshine, look at that scene there in east sussex. for the rest of today, the sunshine will continue across the south—east, still some outbreaks of patchy rain across wales. it is brightening up all the while, and further such showers moving their way into scotland. let's have a closer look at their showers, because will be critically heavy. they will be some hail and thunder and some gusty wind. lots of their showers moving their way into northern ireland, with some thunderstorms. temperatures across north—western errors, about 15—18dc. to the south—east, with some sunshine, could see its highs of up to 21 degrees. low pressure still in charge, into tuesday, but i want to draw your attention to this area of

low pressure. that is going to bring in this weather front, very close to the south east, bringing some heavy showers. throughout tuesday, showers will continue. there will be some sunshine, blobs of blue moving their way in across southern areas, spreading their way northwards. it will feel quite warm and humid on tuesday, temperatures up to 21 celsius in the south—east. as it goes through the night, 15 millimetres, almost a month's rainfall in parts of the south—east quadrant of the uk. they showers will be pretty intense. 50 millimetres could be very localised. if any of these intense downpours to move their way thought through, but they could be as far north as lincolnshire, so keep a close eye on that through into wednesday. they move north and eastwards, clearly, and leaving some drier and brighter

weather, with some sunshine. still some showers in scotland, and northern ireland, maximum temperatures on wednesday, 17 — 21 celsius. where the sun comes out, it will feel quite warm over the next few days, but as you can see, still quite a bit of rain in the forecast for some of us.

you're watching bbc newsroom live. these are today's main stories: after missing last night's tv debate, borisjohnson receives a boost in the conservative party leader contest with the backing of health secretary matt hancock. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, urges his party to make a strong case for staying in the eu. released from prison and ready tojoin the protests — democracy activistjoshua wong calls on hong kong's chief executive to resign. iran announces that it will soon breach the limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium, that was capped under the nuclear deal with world powers. every new teacher in england will be trained to spot early warning signs of mental illness as part of plans unveiled by theresa may. and sir andy murray says he's pain—free as he prepares to return

to competition this week, for the first time since having major hip surgery. good morning. welcome to bbc newsroom live. borisjohnson's position as the frontrunner to become the next prime minister has been bolstered, despite his decision not to join the five other candidates in a televised debate last night. he's received the backing of the health secretary, matt hancock, who dropped out of the race on friday. tweeting last night, matt hancock tweeted, "it's time to unite. i'm backing boris to be the next pm on a pro—enterprise one nation ticket." these are the six candidates in the race, going into what could be a decisive week of the contest. so what happens next? tomorrow, conservative mps

will vote for a second time — candidates need 33 votes to progress. that will be followed by a bbc leadership debate, which borisjohnson will take part in. a third, fourth and fifth ballot, if needed, will follow on wednesday and thursday. and once the final two candidates have been selected, the first hustings for conservative party members will get under way. the winner is expected to be announced in the week beginning 22nd july. some of the candidates are taking part in hustings with political correspondents now. let's speak to our assistant political editor, norman smith. what is going on, norman? what is going on, norman? what is going on, norman? what is not going on is boris johnson, who again has not turned up for a hustings of being organised for a hustings of being organised for westminster journalists this lunchtime. all the other candidates are there taking questions from lobby journalists are there taking questions from lobbyjournalists except are there taking questions from lobby journalists except for the frontrunner, boris johnson. left home this morning, scurried past the

journalist refusing to answer any questions. he failed to take part in the channel a live debate last night was not why? because he is the frontrunner, doesn't want to take any risks, playing it safe. his team calculate it is working. they look at the contest last night and they see all the remaining candidates sort of tussling with each other, none of them really establishing themselves as a clear frontrunner. i think their view is it is fine for him to be out of the frame, let them scrap amongst themselves. at the same time, it seems to me that some of them are beginning to think of life after this contest, in other words, whatjob will i have in a borisjohnson government? words, whatjob will i have in a boris johnson government? that words, whatjob will i have in a borisjohnson government? that is what a number of tory mps think that matt hancock was up to when he announced this morning that he was going to back mrjohnson, even though some people were hoping he might side with one of mrjohnson's rivals to create a powerful alternative. no, he is going with

borisjohnson despite alternative. no, he is going with boris johnson despite having previously been very critical of him. also critical is rory stewart. this was him going into the lunchtime hustings with his view on borisjohnson. there are two main points i'm trying to make. one is that we need to concert on the how of brexit. we all agree want to get brexit done, the question is how the boris has presented is that he has said he will get it done, but he will not explain how that will be done with parliament and with europe. that will lead to more unnecessary uncertainty. he did not expect that yesterday either. that frustrates me as well, he is not engaging with me all the journalists or the public. if we are choosing a prime minister, we need one who is realistic about what we can achieve. there is a hustings going on at the moment. so far, there doesn't seem to be any real development, any

significant ideas was not the most interesting line came from sajid javid, who said that his dog was properly more popular than him. 0h, properly more popular than him. oh, dear! on the others of the fence, the labour party is busy... i'm not sure what the verb would be in terms of what they are doing. you give mea in terms of what they are doing. you give me a verb for what is happening today. a fuddle. tom watson is trying to shall his party into backing another referendum and remain, saying that labour has been too coy about making the case for the eu, which he believes is in line with labour values, has helped to protect poorer communities and that the party should be much more openly campaigning forand should be much more openly campaigning for and campaigning for remain. let's have a listen. european is who we are

and who we have always been. our members are remain, our values are remain, our hearts are remain. we need our labour party to be true to who we are and be loud and proud in support of europe. mr watson said he had no doubt that labour, come the autumn party conference, would back a pro—remain sta nce conference, would back a pro—remain stance but it would be too late by then because the brexit debate would be sort of reaching its end or stop many labour supporters would already have deserted the party. there is no sign of mr corbin shifting their position, they seem determined to remain on this fence sitting position. the peterborough by—election, which they won, even though they continued this awkward fence sitting stance on brexit.

let's speak to esther webber, reporter at the times' political newsletter red box. are we moving inexorably towards some kind of coronation for boris johnson now? i think it's very hard now to say that he wouldn't be in the top two. really the main question the other contenders are asking themselves is, who is going to be the last challenger left with him? the field is pretty open at the moment. even though michael gove and jeremy hunt are perhaps the frontrunners in terms of declared supporters, we definitely saw some momentum picking up around rory stewart last night. in a way, there an advantage to being an outsider, because you can make biggest kind of value—added gain. so, yes, the real question we are left with now is,

who is going to be on the ballot alongside boris? is that proving easy for political journalists alongside boris? is that proving easy for politicaljournalists like yourselves to get a hold of? or is there a certain amount of fudging and evasion from conservative mps as they approach the next vote?|j and evasion from conservative mps as they approach the next vote? i think there are still a number of mps who haven't declared, and i think all eyes this week are on people like andrea leadsom, who was herself a contender. she hasn't yet, letters come out since i been sitting here, declared who she will be voting for. there is everything still to play for. we have just there is everything still to play for. we havejust heard in the hustings for journalists that are taking place right now that rory stewart believes he has the number

of people to take him into the next round. so it will be quite interesting to see who has yet to show their hand. then obviously talking about the next round, there is quite an important tv debate tomorrow night at which boris johnson will take part. a lot of people say this is borisjohnson's to lose at this point. what are the key risks that he faces to himself? as we just heard norman say, one of the reasonings behind boris staying out of the debate last night was it was kind of playing it safe, no opportunity to mess up and let the others scrap amongst themselves. but, yes, tomorrow night he will be answering questions. to put it

mildly, there are a choice of things to attack him with from the past. what will be interesting as well is he has managed to kind of maintain a strategic vagueness so far in the campaign, in orderto strategic vagueness so far in the campaign, in order to kind of keep his supporters on board. it will be interesting to see whether he is able to maintain that vagueness when he has to answer direct questions tomorrow. we shall see. thank you for joining tomorrow. we shall see. thank you forjoining us. every new teacher in england will be trained to spot the early warning signs of mental illness. the plans have been unveiled by theresa may. other measures she's announced include extra support for social workers, local authorities and healthcare services. i'm joined now by dr helen gilburt — a fellow in health policy for mental health,

at the kings fund think tank. thank you forjoining us. do you welcome this? yes, of course. the announcements today pick up on several ongoing areas of policy development. seeing these taken forward is welcome. particularly around picking up the recommendations from the mental health act at the commitment to a white paper by the end of the year. some of the aspects of the green paper early in the year forjordan and young people, so that is what has been announced today. on children and young people, what many people are saying is that it is all well for teachers to spot the signs of mental illness, but if the services are not there to help those children were young people, then what next? absolutely. we have the same concerns at the kings fund. lots of the announcements today are individual components, little policy moves forward. what we need to have isa moves forward. what we need to have is a joint approach across

government. i'm sure many schoolteachers will welcome additional support in how to support young people who are experiencing issues,. notably today, there were issues,. notably today, there were issues around self—harm. there is pa rt issues around self—harm. there is part of a long—term plan to provide access to specialist care and support for those young people who need it. do you believe those will be available? it is difficult at the moment. we believe in the commitment, but the nhs is facing considerable workforce challenges and the ability to expand services is limited at the moment. there is a real need and commitment to continue to look at joined—up real need and commitment to continue to look atjoined—up approaches and also to be able to hold government to account and track how those commitments are moving forward into actual service provision for people out there. for people who care about this and work on it day in day out

in the mental health services, is there a level look at a systems when you see politicians announced... reza may has been prime ministerfor several years, and just a few days before leaving office we see this. do you feel that is a legitimate one for a legacy issue? or are you more cynical about it? everybody in the mental health world welcomes any support to move forward the agenda to support people living with mental health problems and to support people that we prevent people developing mental health problems. it remains to be seen with the changes in government and leadership, and importantly the spending review, about how far that commitment will be taken forward. thank you forjoining us. more on today's main stories coming up on newsroom live here on the bbc news channel. but now we say goodbye

to viewers on bbc two. the hong kong student leader, joshua wong, who was the face of democracy protests in 201a, has been released from prison. speaking to reporters outside jail, he backed the mass protests against the controversial extradition bill and said hong kong's leader, carrie lam, should resign. joshua wong's release comes a day after a huge demonstration that organisers say brought nearly two million people onto the streets. stephen mcdonell reports from beijjing. they marched through the night, calling on the government of carrie lam to abandon the controversial extradition bill rather than post about it. as the hours passed, the knobs were dwindling.

edge the numbers were dwindling. enterjoshua wong, who in a spectacularly so timing was released from prison after serving a sentence for unlawful assembly in the failed 201a umbrella movement democracy push. the hong kong people will not keep silent under the suppression of president xi and carrie lam. she must stand down. what will you do next? what we asked for is for the withdrawal of the extradition law amendment. i hope that people are aware that is now a new fight. he was soon aware that is now a new fight. he was soon with demonstrators, preparing to march on carrie lam's office. hong kong's leader has apologised for her government's handling of this proposal to allow for extradition to mainland chinese courts, where opposition groups say afair courts, where opposition groups say a fair trial isn't possible. the

apology hasn't quelled animosity. every time this movement seems to be running out of energy, something else comes along and reinvigorated. the problem for the government in hong kong and beijing is they are now speaking about broader concerns, they are calling for democracy again and ways in which freedom boy generally should be defended in hong kong. however, their immediate target is hong kong leader carrie lam.|j however, their immediate target is hong kong leader carrie lam. i don't think she will be stepping down immediately. but we think that maybe several months or one year later.“ doesn't matter how long it takes, weeks or months? whatever it takes, yeah. these protests may taper off for a yeah. these protests may taper off fora time, yeah. these protests may taper off for a time, but there is no easy way for a time, but there is no easy way for tensions to dissipate. steven

macdonald, bbc news, hong kong. let's speak to our reporter martin yip in hong kong. let's talk about the hong kong government and the police. they are now ina government and the police. they are now in a difficult position, aren't they? but much so. what you will have seen from the past 12 hours or so, the police have virtually gone, they're are police have virtually gone, they're a re protesters police have virtually gone, they're are protesters occupying one particular area, which might be familiarfrom particular area, which might be familiar from 201a when the brother movement occupied that stretch of road for 79 days. there were other clashes with right police to clear out the place was not they are all gone, they moved in with more gentle police officers, telling people to move on. we ended up with an odd scene of protesters giving way, moving out of the highway. everyone

is trying to give some sort of respect to each other, a bit of a concession to each other, but not really a ny concession to each other, but not really any position of healing. the head of the police is yet to talk to people again, just like carrie lam. there arose a call for them to calm down what they call the riots. the protesters want them to stand down on the claim of them being riots. the policing narrative is very much in question now because, as you say, the protesters have demonstrated that they can do things peacefully, so that they can do things peacefully, so why was it called a riot last wednesday? that is a problem for the authorities was not a deeper problem is that they don't want to do with the extradition bill and with the

place they are in, which is a difficult place between the protesters in hong kong and the political masters in beijing. that's right. carrie lam has been saying so far that they are suspending the bill, and the protesters are calling for a withdrawal of it. so for this morning, we have seen spokespeople speaking to the press, as well as local groups meeting the chief executive herself and then saying that the government has been saying that the government has been saying that the government has been saying that the suspension they are doing is literally a withdrawal. they really don't know if they can come out and say for sure that they will withdraw the bill. this is the demand for the protesters, they say that it demand for the protesters, they say thatitis demand for the protesters, they say that it is the case by saying that the suspension means a withdrawal. the protesters a re the suspension means a withdrawal. the protesters are not listening to this. thank you.

time to catch up with all of the sport. that afternoon. we are just into it. the west indies are taking on banker i the west indies are taking on banker ——, neither side can afford to lose today. bangladesh won the toss. they have steadied the ship little since then. 122—2 in the 2ath over. some other news to bring you from the tournament, england will be without jason roy for their next two world cup matches was top he suffered a hamstring tear during the eight winning kit win over the west indies last friday. eoin morgan could be fit to face afghanistan tomorrow after suffering a back spasm. in the early hours of the morning, gary woodland won gold's third major title of the year. he finished three shots clear of the defending champion, with the englishmanjustin rose fading in his final round. he was just one shot behind going into

the last day, but the former world number one counted five bogeys. he has not won a major for six years. you look at it and you have got to reflect a nd you look at it and you have got to reflect and say, how can i get better? there is no point letting it hurt too much. it hurts if you lose at the death and you make a mistake. the way it happened to me today, it's like i'm of the fact i gave my self a chance. duggan tweaked a thigh training a day after the lionesses arrived in france and missed their opening two matches. she is excited to play againstjapan, matches. she is excited to play against japan, with both matches. she is excited to play againstjapan, with both sides guaranteed a place in the last 16. you wait for years for another world cup to come around and then you go through all the training and wanted to get picked and then you get on the plane and on your first day of training you get injured. it's really frustrating. but i'm really

proud of the girls and the team, that i can come back now, we are through to the last 16, which is positive. hopefully i can help the tea m positive. hopefully i can help the team in anyway that i can. there are four matches in the women's world cup today. more for you after the 1pm news. iran says it has quadrupled production of enriched uranium and in ten days' time will surpass the level permitted under the international agreement curbing its nuclear programme. an iranian spokesman said european nations should act to relieve sanctions imposed by the us, which pulled out of the deal last year. it comes after two oil tankers were attacked in the gulf of oman on thursday — the iranians have denied any involvement. iranian nuclear energy spokesman behrouz kamalvandi spoke about the nuclear deal

at a press conference earlier. translation: in tendai is time, we will pass the limit. —— in ten days' time. our diplomatic correspondent jonathan marcus has the latest on the consequences of iran breaking the agreed nuclear deal. it looks as though the trajectory is set for iran. they say they will actually physically be in breach of one element of the agreement. since early may, the context has changed dramatically. we have had two sets of attacks on oil tankers, both of those have been a trivet it by washington and some of its allies very squarely at the door of iran. there are people who genuinely feared some kind of military clash between washington and tehran, and with this subtext of the gradual moving away from the nuclear deal going on beneath it, it adds a new element of danger to what is a very

shaky situation. downing street have said that all options will be examined if iran reaches the terms of the copper has a plan of action. that is a nuclear deal under discussion. it could face diplomatic or economic sanctions if it does indeed breach that, as it has now warned, in the next ten days was not well, let's return to the conservative leadership contest, after last night's heated television debate with the hopeful contenders. our assistant political editor is at westminster with conservative mp david gauke, who is backing rory stewart in the leadership contest. thank you. so far it seems to me that most of the leadership contenders have been just that most of the leadership contenders have beenjust taking it fairly carefully with boris johnson, none of them really taking the gloves off. mind you, david gauke did take the gloves of this morning

ina did take the gloves of this morning in a tweet, suggesting that every time mauricejohnson wrote his telegraph article it cost the treasury billions and basically good luck to whoever took over as chancellor. he joins me luck to whoever took over as chancellor. hejoins me now. why luck to whoever took over as chancellor. he joins me now. why did you say that? ijust chancellor. he joins me now. why did you say that? i just think that every monday, when boris writes his column, he makes another pledge for a lot of money, either a tax cut or a lot of money, either a tax cut or a spending pledge. the question that all politicians have to answer is where the money is coming from. particularly if you have a policy of leaving without a deal that may have a very dutch mental impact on public finances. even if you don't, there are limited resources and, as conservatives, we believe in the careful use of public monies. we should bring the debt down. the chancellor issued a challenge to all candidates, will you bring debt down every year? so far, only one candidate, rory stewart, has agreed to do that. i think conservatives

should believe in careful housekeeping, that we pass on as lower debt as possible to future generations was not that is the basis on which we fought the 2010 and 2015 elections was at the moment, that is not being taken seriously by the other candidates was not why other candidates treating boris johnson was not why other candidates treating borisjohnson with kid gloves ? treating borisjohnson with kid gloves? i'm not sure that is the case with rory stewart. it is important that this is a robust contest, that people argue the case, that we build our future unity on the basis of honesty, and this is the basis of honesty, and this is the time in which we should be making the case in honest and straightforward terms was top rory stewart is doing that. he is not looking at this contest as a means of getting a cabinetjob from boris johnson. some of the others? rory stewart is fighting this campaign

with everything to win. he is not looking to become the next chancellor or the next foreign secretary under boris johnson, chancellor or the next foreign secretary under borisjohnson, that is not what he is about. in the interests of plain speaking, what sort of prime minister do you think borisjohnson would sort of prime minister do you think boris johnson would be? sort of prime minister do you think borisjohnson would be? a good one? it depends which borisjohnson it ends up being, is it the one that was a successful mayor of london, or asa was a successful mayor of london, or as a borisjohnson that has had less success subsequently? the main point i would make that there are stronger candidates in this race, there is one outstanding candidate in rory stewart, but their arsenal candidates when it comes to competence —— there are stronger candidates when it comes to competence, and i hope that in the end we will choose one of those. do you think boris johnson end we will choose one of those. do you think borisjohnson will be able to stick to his commitment to take britain out of the eu by october 31? will we see a climb—down or a u—turn? will we see a climb—down or a u-turn? will he be able to stick to that commitment? no, the position is

that commitment? no, the position is that he will not be able to renegotiate a new deal by the 31st of october, that is obvious. the house of commons will oppose leaving the european union on the 31st of october without a deal. unless he's going to prorogue parliament, unless he will shut up parliament and not let m ps he will shut up parliament and not let mps into debate these matters, andi let mps into debate these matters, and i hope he won't do that, but assuming that he doesn't do that, then he won't be able to deliver that. that is one of the biggest problems with his case. in these to be put under scrutiny. so far, he didn't attend the channel a debate yesterday, he didn't attend the lobby hustings that has happened this morning. i think he has done one broadcast interview where he turned up at the studio with ten minutes notice. we are entitled to ensure that every candidate is scrutinised was not borisjohnson has not done that. i hope that as the campaign goes on we will have

that opportunity for scrutiny. thank you for your time. we will get that tomorrow evening borisjohnson will be taking part in that bbc debate. the first one he will have taken pa rt the first one he will have taken part in, when he will inevitably face questions about how he will withdraw the uk from the eu by the 3ist withdraw the uk from the eu by the 31st october, the kosovo we have had no details was not thank you. well, do you have any questions for the next prime minister? tomorrow, bbc one will be hosting a live election hustings, with all the candidates left standing for conservative leader, one of whom of course, will be moving to number 10. that debate will be shaped by your questions, and we're asking you to submit them in advance. email haveyoursay@bbc.co.uk with your question, and do include your name and contact number if you're interested in asking it live from your local bbc studio. and you can watch the full coverage of the debate on the bbc news channel

tomorrow at 8pm. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. it can't really be dressed up, it is another rather cool week for the time of year. unsettled as well, more rain to come for some of us. showers today in scotland and northern ireland, some heavy and thundery. this thick cloud for northern england, wales and the midlands producing some patchy rain. south—east of that, mainly dry. windy in scotland, up to 50 mph across central and southern parts was not mainly dry for a time tonight with another area of rain heading into north—west scotland. misty and murky for parts of wales and south—west england. some spots dipping into single figures. into tomorrow, showers pushing southward through scotland into northern ireland and a zone of heavy and thundery downpours beginning to develop across parts of invent and wales, particular central and southern areas wales, particular central and southern areas was

wales, particular central and southern areas was up the potential for seeing quite a lot of rain again as we go through tuesday night into wednesday. we will keep an ion that. beyond that, further showers. goodbye.

hello this is bbc newsroom live. the headlines: after missing last night's tv debate, borisjohnson receives a boost in the conservative party leader contest as health secretary, matt hancock, says he's the best candidate to unite the country. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, urges his party to make a strong case for staying in the eu. iran announces that it will soon

breach the limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium, that was capped under the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. after being released from prison, the democracy activist joshua wong says he's ready to join the protests, and calls on hong kong's chief executive to resign. police are conducting a stop and search operation stabbing of a man in his a0s. the man was attacked in stratford in the early hours of this morning. the killing is the fourth to take place in london (pres)the mayor of london, sadiq khan, says the met‘s violent the mayor of london, sadiq khan, says the met‘s violent crime task force has been working flat out across the weekend. it's heartbreaking. you can't sugar—coat it — the last four days have been awful. i shall be meeting the bereaved families over the next few weeks, i often meet bereaved families and it's a tragedy, it's heartbreaking. it's important to realise that these families will never be the same again. i've been in contact

with the deputy commissioner this weekend and other members of the met police service. they've been working incredibly hard. we've had the violent crime task force, funded by city hall, working this entire weekend. our under—resourced and overstretched police have been working incredibly hard, and it's really important that we londoners help the police keep us safe. if, for example, anybody watching this has any information at all, not just about the four homicides over the past few days but if somebody they know carries a knife, has a gun, is a member of a criminal gang, please contact the police. an investigation by the bbc‘s beyond today podcast has found evidence that youngsters on merseyside are being offered hundreds of pounds to stab each other by older gang leaders. the claims have been directly linked to at least one recent stabbing. joining me now in the studio is host of the beyond today podcast, matthew price. this is very grave. i think after

that story you are seeing there, so many stories come out of london, but other cities are also seeing a rise. what we did is to bring together a few teenagers who either directly had experience of knife crime, or knew those who did, and there was a story thread that started to stand out as our team spoke to them, and what was particularly shocking is when this young lad, about 13 or 1a yea rs when this young lad, about 13 or 1a years old, talked about his best friend getting stabbed, this is an incident which the police know about, it is a police that —— an incident that ended with the victim having to go to hospital for treatment, but the shocking thing he said is that a large group set this person, and two of them had divided a bounty of £1000 between because they went on and stabbed him. there we re they went on and stabbed him. there were 15 kids who did it, and two

kids bet eight. what would have happened if you'd said no? they would pick someone else. well, it's very worrying. where do you start, what is the police saying? merseyside police have not directly commented on the claims here from that lad. they have said that they do know that organised crime and serious crime adults have taken vulnerable and young people and push them into dealing drugs, or into using knives. we have done quite extensive work with both the youth worker that you heard from there, that we will hear a bit more from in a moment, alan walsh, and others in the area, who have talked to their contacts across the city. this is being set up by other youngsters out on the streets. it is also being stood up by gang members. so we know that there is something going on. stood up by gang members. so we know that there is something going onlj mean, it almost feels like

initiation, and enmeshed in young people in such a degree that they can't escape. yes, but there's also something legal going on here. if you're an adult, you will get put away in prison, but if you are young, you will not get put in prison. let's just young, you will not get put in prison. let'sjust listen young, you will not get put in prison. let's just listen to alan walsh. you are right about initiation. he is trying to educate children about the dangers of knife crime. this was his reaction to what he had in that interview. never been so he had in that interview. never been so shocked in all my life. i am still gobsmacked. at that tender e, still gobsmacked. at that tender age, putting a bounty on another kid's head. i mean, it'sjust terrifying, isn't it? it is. you can hearin terrifying, isn't it? it is. you can hear in his voice. he has been doing this for 30 years. he was in trouble himself and he was younger. he has been doing this for that he has, and

he has never had anything like this before. we went to great lengths to try to make sure that this is not just a couple of kids who aren't mouthing off and sing what they think the microphones might want to hear. in fact, think the microphones might want to hear. infact, it think the microphones might want to hear. in fact, it took a long time to try and get them in front of microphones, but as i say, ireland and others have checked this out. they know this is happening elsewhere. and it is terrifying. we have got the stories of how allen got theirs, and also our great producer, who also got this story. it will be at 5pm this evening. every new teacher in england will be trained to spot the early warning signs of mental illness. the plans have been unveiled by theresa may. other measures she's announced include extra support for social workers, local authorities and healthcare services. chloe bellerby is a mental health campaigner, who struggled with her own mental health whilst she as at school.

chloe, i think you are in a particularly good position, and we are very particularly good position, and we are very grateful to you to coming on, to explain to us whether you think what is being in ads to today isa think what is being in ads to today is a positive. i think it is a big positive. when i was 11 years old, i didn't think that any of my teachers understood, or knew about mental health, and to some extent, i think there is still a lack of knowledge about it. so i think it is a really good thing if it does happen. so, i don't know if you mind, i don't want to put you, make you feel something that you don't feel comfortable with, but it might be helpful to other young people, and indeed did their parents, if you can tell us your journey, their parents, if you can tell us yourjourney, in terms of the mental health problems that she had at school, how bad it got, who helped you out of that, and why you... and link that back today's announcements. i was 11 years old when i first started struggling. i had no idea what mental health

problems were. i had never been taught about it. i had no idea why i was feeling like that. that was the first time i self harmed, as well. soi first time i self harmed, as well. so i went to my whole high school life not telling anyone how i was feeling, i just had life not telling anyone how i was feeling, ijust had this dark cloud above me, and it didn't seem to go. i got to the age of 16, and that was when things took a turn to for the worst. from my collarbone down to my ankle, i was covered in cuts, and it got to the point when i tried taking my life in 2016, because i thought i was better off dead than alive. it was better off dead than alive. it was in the summer holidays, i came back, and my pe teacher, he took me into a classroom, and he said i know what's happened over the summer, and iam going what's happened over the summer, and i am going to be there for you whether you like it or not, and he is actually the person who ended up saving my life, and i think teachers have a massive impact, and i don't think they necessarily know how much ofan impact think they necessarily know how much of an impact they have on young

people, and i think it is really important that people get educated on the sort of thing. so, what do you think are the signs that teachers need to be able to spot, and thank you so much for being brave enough to talk to us about your problem. no worries at all. noticing a change of behaviour, must be the main thing. i am a bubbly person, and i was known for that as well. i went from being a class clown to sitting in silence. if you know that young person is usually outgoing and bubbly, then you should probably realise that there is something going on if they are suddenly sat quiet in a classroom. i was wearing long sleeves all the time. i didn't really want to speak to anyone, i was not participating in classrooms, i was hardly there really, and i think that was probably the main thing for me. and iam probably the main thing for me. and i am surprised that people didn't realise, but like i said, my school was very realise, but like i said, my school was very good, and they were the people who helped me through

probably the hardest time in my life. and you are now a mental health campaigner yourself, and obviously the government is trying to get behind this. i suppose one of the things that we have been talking about this morning is the help that is available once the problem has been spotted, so say a teacher spot is that something tarmac someone has got very withdrawn like you're describing, or that they are wearing long sleeves, and they might find out that they are self harming, i suppose the next thing, a lot of people are staying with us, a lot of people are staying with us, a lot of people are staying with us, a lot of people are saying that the thing is to get the services in place to help thereafter. well, yes. obviously camhs are very underfunded. i went for a month of counselling there, andi for a month of counselling there, and i was discharged after that month, probably because of all the people who need the services. i think if they services were available in schools, it would take the pressure of mental health services, and it would kind of give the opportunity for young people to

reach out within a school environment, which is where they spend most of their time anyway. i think it is really important that thatis think it is really important that that is in place. and chloe, just as you have been there yourself, and even fairly recently, you are only 19 now, he went through this terrible experience at the age of 16, do you have a word of advice for anyone, for young people, who might be watching? well i would just say, don't be afraid to ask for help. i think that was my biggest thing. i was scared to ask for help, because i thought people would think that i was crazy, or something like that, and actually the response i had was incredible. and like i said, talking about it saved my life, so... well, thank you for talking to us about it. we wish you all the very best. thank you very much. if you have been affected by the issues that we

are talking about, please do ask for help. there are a range of resources . help. there are a range of resources. you can find them on the address above. the founder of the chinese technology giant, huawei, has said that his company will slash production by £30 billion over the next two years as it struggles with us—imposed sanctions. the new laws have banned us companies and firms using american technology from doing business with huawei. the company's boss has likened huawei to a badly damaged airplane. our china correspondent robin brant told us earlier that the sanctions have had a dramatic effect on the company. yes, a complete reversal of the trend. huawei had a very good 2018, they had a record-breaking revenues

of $108 billion, much of that was because of really healthy growth in the smartphone market, huawei is now the world's number two smartphone manufacturer. but this warning, at an event at their headquarters huawei had a very good 2018, they had a record-breaking revenues of $108 billion, much of that was because of really healthy growth in the smartphone market, huawei is now the world's number two smartphone manufacturer. but this warning, at an event at their headquarters in the south of china, that the us restrictions are really going to bite any two years he has forecast a drop of about $30 billion. if you do the kind of back of the envelope calculations, that is maybe 10—15%, as a fall in terms of what they were forecasting, but he says, come 2021, two years down the line, he thinks there will be a rejuvenation. the headlines on bbc news... after missing last night's tv debate, borisjohnson receives a boost in the conservative party leader contest as health secretary, matt hancock, says he's the best candidate to unite the country. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, urges his party to make a strong case for staying in the eu. iran announces that it will soon breach the limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium, that was capped under the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

the boss of ethiopian airlines has hit back at claims that his company's pilots were partly to blame for a crash which killed 157 people in march. speaking to the bbc he said that american senators who criticised the pilots' training were misinformed. boeing has now grounded all of its 737—max planes, worldwide. simon browning reports from ethiopia. parked and hidden away. four boeing jets, not seen since they were confined to this spot at the end of the runway here in addis ababa. the fifth jet, the fleet‘s sister aircraft, was lost in a devastating crashjust six minutes after taking off back in march. around the world, the boeing 737 max is now grounded. we are in a village about 125 kilometres south of addis ababa. just over my shoulder here,

behind that wooden fence, is where ethiopian airlines flight 302 came down just about three months ago, with the loss of 157 lives. no police or security are here. but, with debris still strewn across the area, the investigation into who was responsible for what happened is becoming an international dispute. one leading american politician is one of many voices in the united states blaming the pilots. pilots trained in the united states would have successfully been able to handle the situation. but the boss of ethiopian airlines disagrees. the senator seems to be seriously misinformed, or he doesn't have the facts at hand when he says that. why else would they have grounded 380 planes all over the world? simple, right? the facts speak for themselves. a sense of shock still exists at the airline's huge flight school, where leading pilots strongly defended their colleagues' actions.

i think our pilots have done whatever they could, whatever was recommended by boeing as well, to save the aircraft, but they couldn't. boeing is working on changes to the flight control system that the pilots wrestled with before crashing. but, for now, these jets are sealed, covered and going nowhere soon as the battle over who is to blame continues. simon browning, bbc news, in addis ababa. our international business correspondent theo leggett is at the paris air show where boeing is being discussed... this is normally a great opportunity for the aerospace giants to put on a show, to announce new orders and say how well they are doing, but at this show, or the emphasis is on boeing, and the 737 max, when will it fly again? that aircraft has been grounded since the ethiopian airlines crash in march. there is no sign of it flying anytime soon.

boeing's chief executive said yesterday that it might fly before the end of the year, and that's about it. as the blame around, report into both accidents have suggested very strongly that the problem started at least with a flight control system, a piece of software that activated at the wrong time, and forced the aircraft into a dive, when they were supposed to be climbing. now, american politicians, who perhaps you could call them friends of boeing have been trying to cast the blame around a little bit. boeing itself says the act the actions of the pilot and software failure were all part of a chain of events, but you can see with questions of liability hanging over boeing, and questions of reputation, hanging over the us regulator, as well as boeing, and hanging over ethiopian airlines, there is now a blame game going on. you can read more about boeing, and the ‘battle over

blame' by heading to bbc.co.uk/news. last week the prime minister theresa may announced that the uk is aiming to be carbon neutral by 2050 and it's thought this could mean big changes to how we live our lives. but some people are already making radical choices to lower the amount of carbon dioxide they produce, with some households doing what's known as going off—grid. reporter mike cowan went along to meet the watkinson family who gave up their dayjobs to live a simpler life in wales. we are in pembrokeshire in the far west of wales, to meet the watkinson family. they have lived completely off grid for two years now. matthew and wife carys both used to be vets, until they gave it all up to live here, along with daughter elsa, and son billy. it's basically junk.

so the first thing we have got up here is the horse lorry. an old horse lorry. we also have a little camper van, which is up against it. that's our bedroom. with the family going, we got two great big huge trailers, and slid them behind, and then built a little cabin on top. wales has one of the most progressive policies in the uk when it comes to living off grid. thanks to the decade—old one planet development scheme. in a nutshell, it allows you to build on agricultural land, if you can make enough money to live off it, whilst living within your ecological means. so a bio digester essentially means that you are creating gas from your food waste. exactly. so these are our solar panels. i don't think we reduced our electricity use that much. we charge our phones, we've got the laptop,

we've got the tv, we have the fridge and the freezer. if britain is to be carbon neutral by 2050, the way we power our homes will be key to achieving it. i went to the centre for alternative technology, to meet tim brewer, an expert in living off grid. so in our cities, where the majority of the population lives, how can we realistically work towards a carbon neutral future? ok, so two major technologies that are appropriate for households generally, solar electrics or pv, and solar water heating panels. both of those technologies are really mature, and they are really applicable for most households in the uk. but in reality, we need national government policies, we need to be generating large amounts of renewable energy from our renewable resources that we have in our country, wind, solar, wave. how long do you think before way more people like you start doing this? the planning process is such a barrier, that i don't know how many people will end up doing it in time to make a big difference. the united nations say that we have

as little as 11 years to stop a climate catastrophe. to halt it will take difficult government decisions, choices from business, and a willingness from us as individuals. and if we are to halt a catastrophe, it is a way of life that us as a society will have to adopt sooner rather than later. sir andy murray makes his return to the tennis court this week at queens club in the doubles event. just six months ago the two—time wimbledon champion broke down in tears in front of the world's media when he revealed he may never play competitive tennis again after a serious hip injury. but following surgery he says he's pain free and enjoying playing again. he's been speaking to sally nugent. what is life like now pain—free? it is significantly better. i am doing lots of things that i certainly

would not have been doing six months ago, playing golf, escape rooms, spending more time with friends. you seem surprised by that? escape rooms? they sound like my worst nightmare. i love them. so you get locked in a room? locked in a room... i have been doing this with friends and family, locked in a room and you try to escape within an allotted time. is it about strategy? i would never have done anything like that a few days before a tournament before because my hip would hurt and when i finished practising i would just want to sit with my feet up and rest. now i can do all that stuff. it is nice. at the worst point, how tricky was life for you? people who have had arthritic hips will know how difficult it can be. i probably did not realise it at the time but how unhappy it can

make you as well and how long and tiring some of the days can feel. did you think it would ever affect your mental health? yes. definitely. at the time, i probably didn't realise it properly, because that became the norm. i wasn't living life as i wanted to, because i would finish practising, i don't want to have my feet up. —— i would want to have my feet up. —— i would want to have my feet up. —— i would want to have my feet up for the rest of the day. let's talk about queen's club. you are paired with feliciano lopez. how is that dynamic working? i know you love him. i like him a lot. we got on well since i first came on the tour. we practice together quite a bit. we never play doubles with each other before but i want to enjoy time on the court. he is a good grass court player.

when we spoke to my team, we thought playing some doubles would be a good way of preparing for singles, and testing my hip in a situation where there is not that much movement. do you feel the love? yes, i do, and especially when i play, you know, when i play at home. support‘s always been brilliant here. and hopefully, when we get out on the court, it will be the same again. in a moment it's time for the one o'clock news but first it's time for a look at the weather. hello. whilst there will be dry moments this week, some sunshine occasionally, it will be a cool week for this time of year. unsettled low pressure weather, there bouts north and north—west of the uk. another area of low pressure has a go of us from the south, but the potential of some very from the south, but the potential of some very thundery downpours coming our way, later tuesday night into wednesday. we will get to that, in a moment, but this is how the

afternoon is looking. showers around scotla nd afternoon is looking. showers around scotland and northern ireland, some heavy and possibly thundery. area of thick clouds in northern england, wales, the midlands and to the south—west, producing a bit of showery rain and places. north of that, there are brighter skies the further north you are in england, and some spots into the low 20s. fairly windy by the way, because parts of scotland, in particular, central and southern scotland, will be one or two wind gusts. most bases drive a be one or two wind gusts. most bases drivea time, be one or two wind gusts. most bases drive a time, low cloud and mist us around parts of wales, south—west england going into tomorrow morning. another area of rain pushing into north—west scotland. into tomorrow, this is going to push further south, through scotland and northern ireland, taking at least further showers, and then some of this can be quite heavy. holding up some spanish spells —— our sunny spells. central and eastern areas, some of those later in the day could be in the form of torrential thundery

downpours. that is why the met office has a yellow warning across this area here. 15—30 millimetres, fairly widely as possible, but may be up to 50 millimetres in the most torrential downpours. these are areas that have already had flooding and disruption. they don't need much more rain, so that situation has to be monitored closely on through tuesday night and into wednesday. just to give you an idea, what could transpire as we go through into wednesday morning, with these heavy downpours, and then even on wednesday, there will be a few more of these developing across parts of england and wales, but italy through central and eastern areas, but parts of northern wales and the south—west that to brighten up wednesday. another disturbance working its way into scotland and northern ireland, further showers, and again, some of these could be quite heavy, temperatures for the most part around the med to the high teens, just a few pieces getting into 20.

the health secretary matt hancock announces he is backing borisjohnson in the tory leadership race. he is the seventh cabinet minister to back mrjohnson — but the prime minister is refusing to be drawn. iam not i am not backing a particular candidate. i haven't endorsed a particular candidate. i haven't told anybody, i did vote last thursday, i haven't told anybody who i voted for and i'm not going to. we'll bring you all the latest on the contest from our correspondents in westminster. also this lunchtime — the opposition deputy leader tom watson breaks from party policy and says labour should back britain remaining in the eu. european is who we are and who we have always been. our members are remain. demonstrations in hong kong continue — with more calls
