5:05 pm
that lies ahead and making my case. important to come to you and absolutely deny any link with the tory mps have just finished a vote events described in relation to the allegations of match fixing. to other made another candidate in the race to be our prime minister. u nfortu nately all allegations of match fixing. unfortunately all tennis players are sajid javid could be for the chop, public figures and i will do so could rory stewart, who is convinced keeping the current brexit deal, somehow persuading parliament to back it, is the only show in town. everything in my power to defend all these other people somehow myself against any such false believe that by shouting and saying accusations. he plays with andy i'm going to take britain out, that they have some magic way to do it. murray weather permitting tomorrow. there hasn't been much plight to die it is like some man stuck on a zip wire. because of the weather. they are just getting going again —— play you can wave the unionjack all you want, but you are not going anywhere. no prizes for guessing today. don evans is 5—3 down against who that was a pop at. but this morning, borisjohnson won more support, this sta n today. don evans is 5—3 down against stan wawrinka but they are taking time from the brexiteer candidate eliminated yesterday. i am throwing my weight the covers of and are just ready to behind borisjohnson. i think he's the one get going again in west london. you who is the most credible to get us out of the eu by can keep the cross that on the the end of october. website. i will be back at 6:30pm, many of dominic raab‘s supporters will follow suit. but none of the candidates can say live to queens and france as well exactly how they will deliver their ahead of those women's world cup brexit vision. matches involving england and
5:06 pm
rory stewart cannot say how exactly scotland. half past six on bbc news. how he would persuade parliament to back a deal it has thank you. the result of the third already rejected three times. the others can't say how they would persuade europe to reopen negotiations, something brussels has round of the conservative leadership election is expected in the next repeatedly said they just won't do. half an hour or so so let's return that was one of the key unanswered to our chief political correspondent questions from last night's bbc vicki young who is in the central debate. lobby at pollard. it is a nervous lots of pledges to get out, not so much on how. time for all the teams, even those october slst is eminently feasible. that is not a guarantee. who feel they are not in any danger of dropping out, they still want to but there was this show they are making progress at pledge, to hold an getting new people behind them and investigation into allegations of islamophobia in the tory party. their mantle is up to speak to someone from the team of michael guys, shall we have an external investigation in the conservative gove, guy opperman. just to look party into islamophobia? so they all agree? excellent, they agree. back at the debate. there was some some say that promise criticism that people want very clear about their brexit policy has taken too long. about how unearth they will get a it has been a long, lonely and different kind of deal than they wa nt to bruising battle. this has been going different kind of deal than they want to may got given the eu saying on forfour years now the withdrawal agreement is not up bruising battle. this has been going on for four years now but eyes take for renegotiation. there were certainly some criticism of boris johnson and the idea that he could the small gains that are on offer and progress has been made, even if magic a policy that will satisfy the my parliamentary colleagues have erg and the softer elements of the come to the issue late, i'm relieved conservative party stopped i relish
5:07 pm
they finally have. the fact thatjohnson was being held action, though, is now being promised. to account for the first time, he we need to be absolutely resolute in tackling came out to face the music and the racism and prejudice of all kinds and, absolutely, bbc and the questioners. i thought there are people in the conservative party who we need to make sure appreciate michael put forward a very the consequences of their actions. compelling argument that this has to there are people who be rebooted and we have to try need to be rooted out of the party. again. the idea that rory is we have been very vociferous propagating that we will merely do in calling out jeremy corbyn and anti—semitism as you and i have seen happening and if we are going to over the last year and rehash the do that, and i think we are right to do that, prime minister's withdrawal then we have to be whiter agreement in the hope that we can than white ourselves. persuade the house of commons when for now, there are five people left we have failed three times to get that agreement through is just not in the race to be pm. right stop we have to try something different and we have to change our the member has called muslim women approach. i believe michael gove is the man who has the plan to do that. are the member has called muslim women a re letter the member has called muslim women are letter boxes, described african what is going on here, you are part people as having watermelon smiles and another disgusting slur that i of this campaign, mps being wooed, would never repeat. if that is not presumably the second someone drops racist, mr speaker, i do not know out of the race, are you straight what is. boris johnson has onto the people who supported him trying to win them round? colleagues apologised for any offence he caused are receiving a large amount of phone calls as they are encouraged in the past but racist is not a term to support a different candidate. we
5:08 pm
to use lightly in here. for now, all have day jobs to support a different candidate. we there are five people left in the all have dayjobs and we are all race to be prime minister. continuing to represent our by tomorrow evening, it will be two and they constituents and be ministers but will have to persuade conservative there are as a team supporting members they can tackle the tories‘ michael who was on the phone making problems and deliver our eu departure. the case. there have been a variety nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. of meetings today and we have been voting this afternoon. there is a an imam who questioned the tory leadership candidates during last night's bbc television debate has much more concentrated voting been suspended from his procedure. when you want i go to the polls in a normal general election mosque in gloucester, and from his role as a deputy head or local election it is seven in the morning until ten at night. we have at a primary school. the bbc defended its vetting process after it emerged a two hour slot, very short, try to imam abdullah patel had shared allegedly anti—semitic tweets. the broadcaster said that if it been get your people and reported on aware of the views he expressed various things this afternoon to the he would not have been selected. polling station which is here in the mr patel says his criticism house of commons on this rare was aimed at israeli policy, situation, it is very difficult. so not the jewish community. far no one has missed a vote, they area far no one has missed a vote, they are a very compelled electorate but it is not easy to get everyone there. are you confident michael so, counting is underway is in the third round of gove is gaining more support from the conservative leadership contest — one candidate will be knocked out when the result is announced just mps? absolutely 10096 confident of after six this evening. let's return to our chief political that. do you think you could finish correspondent vicki young, who is in central lobby. second? i think it is tight. lots of speculation here as there that. do you think you could finish has been all day. i think one thing second? ithink it is tight. it depends where people want to go and
5:09 pm
what messages they want to give a eve ryo ne has been all day. i think one thing everyone is has been all day. i think one thing everyone is sure has been all day. i think one thing everyone is sure of is borisjohnson will come top in this round and but there is no doubt that the race for second place is narrowing all probably in the rounds tomorrow as the time. i thinkjeremy hunt would well. his team team to show he still very much like to be making more of has momentum, he is still building support and let speak to one of the inroads than he has done. i don't like making predictions until we people supporting him, which is michael fallon. do you think you have the result. personally i believe michael will do considerably better than he did yesterday.“ could be lending votes to other believe michael will do considerably better than he did yesterday. is he people? there are people saying feeling confident? he is waiting for the result is like all of us but there are people who would like to tomorrow is when the real action sta rts tomorrow is when the real action starts because my belief is it will go there are people who would like to 9° up there are people who would like to go up against and one is not rory be either sajid javid or rory will stewart. we want to add to his total, we have won again today, we fall out today and then there is quite a shift at that stage because wa nt total, we have won again today, we want to keep building up his total. there is a large number of votes, 30 we had dominic raab endorsing him today so we are hopeful of adding a last night and there will be another few more votes to his total, and we 30—something tonight. there are a are not encouraging people to vote lot of votes in the melting pot. i for anyone else, we want them to vote for boris. are you convinced suspect most of those votes will probably go to the second, third or you know what boris johnson's fourth candidates. thank you. this vote for boris. are you convinced you know what borisjohnson‘s plan is for brexit? there was not an awful lot of clarity last night is just fourth candidates. thank you. this isjust a warm up so far apart from wanting to leave by the fourth candidates. thank you. this is just a warm up so far this week, tomorrow is where the real action is end of october. how does he think he going to be. thank you. counting can reopen the withdrawal agreement
5:10 pm
and get another deal when the eu said they will not? the date is on legislation, that is when we have to should be well under way. do it. what boris brings is a lot of the candidate who comes optimism about his ability to get last will be eliminated. we'll get the result just after six o'clock, europe to think again. there will be and will bring that to you live. three months after the new prime minister takes office before the end tomorrow there'll be further ballots of october and that is time to look to whittle down the candidates, until we get to the final two. again at the arrangements for the irish border, to look again at bits at that point the first hustings with conservative of the withdrawal agreement that members will get underway. parliament clearly did not like and around 160,000 conservative members will then vote — and the winner of the contest to assemble a better withdrawal arrangement that can command the and our next prime minister will be announced in the week confidence of parliament. other of the 22nd ofjuly. candidates are saying it is all one person who is across the mindset hopeless and far too difficult, of those tory voters maybe we might need an extension and is tim montgomerie — conservative commentator so maybe we might need an extension and so on. and founder of the grassroots maybe we might need an extension and so on. boris is starting from the website conservative home. approach that a fresh idea here is to get this agreement renegotiated. good to have you in and to get your perspective. we just heard it sounds a bit like let's cross our good to have you in and to get your perspective. wejust heard guy opperman saying that he has been fingers, he has a bigger personality confident michael gove is his man than theresa may and let's be and the man he is backing that it optimistic, which will get it over will be sajid javid, who i think you the line. you will bring a fresh are backing, and robbie stewart who
5:11 pm
approach and a fresh team as well. will perhaps be the really nervous clearly they are aware of what the ones tonight. does that sound fair? biz that my differences were in i think that is fair. yesterday i parliament but mps have been aware think before the debate that took since the european elections of the place on bbc one it looked like rory stark reality that this country voted to the three years ago and we stewart was storming forward. he still have not got round to leaving. increased his number of mp backers i think that, too, will combine the from 19 to 37 almost doubling his new prime minister which i hope will support. i don't think he had a be borisjohnson new prime minister which i hope will be boris johnson and we new prime minister which i hope will be borisjohnson and we can get this brilliant debate. some of the social thing done by the end of october and move on. are you worried about the media means mocking some of the way he positioned himself on those questions he is facing? the leader shares won't have done him any good. of the snp accusing him of being a racist because of things he said but i think he looks a bit too about women wearing veils looking like letterboxes and other comments confrontational, a little bit to he has made. that is quite a big pugilistic particularly with boris charge to put to someone, isn't it? johnson and i think tory members there will be more of it if he wa nt johnson and i think tory members want a real contest but they don't becomes prime minister. wa nt want a real contest but they don't want conservatives knocking spots there will be more of it if he becomes prime ministerlj off each other. they want a bit of there will be more of it if he becomes prime minister. i thought it was disgraceful the way the charge decorum. i think probably rory went was disgraceful the way the charge was brought. boris johnson was disgraceful the way the charge over the line a little bit. at blue was brought. borisjohnson is a journalism... that does excuse the on blue that boris was talking about. i am just wondering about language. know, and he has jeremy hunt. is there a consensus apologised if anyone is offended by
5:12 pm
his articles but he is being perhaps coalescing around the idea, given the vociferous nature of a scrutinised, the claim as he was in the hiding and no one could ask him questions. boris is taking a lot of large section of the conservative fla k questions. boris is taking a lot of flak now, he is being scrutinised party membership about brexit, we here at westminster by his are getting out of to 31st, that you colleagues in one—to—one meetings, doing hoss things all week with the have to have two brexiteers and that mps and he was scrutinised last it probably has to beat michael gove night in the television debate. —— who challenges borisjohnson and not he has taken husting all week. necessarilyjeremy who challenges borisjohnson and not necessarily jeremy hunt.” who challenges borisjohnson and not necessarily jeremy hunt. i think there are mixed views. if you are night in the television debate. —— he has taken husting all weekm there a change in the public face he indie borisjohnson there are mixed views. if you are indie boris johnson campaign there are mixed views. if you are indie borisjohnson campaign you would probably like jeremy hunt indie borisjohnson campaign you would probably likejeremy hunt to is putting forward? he is more be your opponent because then it really is pretty much a done deal serious, fewerjokes. i hope that is anyway, i think borisjohnson will not a criticism as well. this is a be the next tory leader and prime minister, but it will be much easier more seriousjob. he is fully aware for boris to carry the contest if it of that. thank you very much indeed. is againstjeremy hunt. personally i i think that team are particularly am closer to the politics of michael confident but there will be nerves gove but i worry a little about the growing for others. i suspect so, thank you. with me is will tanner — psychodrama that a boris versus gove former special adviser to theresa may. contest might represent. talk about blue on blue. yes and we all know let's pick up on one of the big what happened three years ago when
5:13 pm
talking points, there have been many michael gove essentially pressed the after last night's debate but the trap door button under borisjohnson suggestion that, certainly from borisjohnson suggestion that, certainly from in the campaign to become prime boris johnson and a suggestion that, certainly from borisjohnson and a couple of the others, that we will be leaving on minister after the eu referendum was october 31 of all that is an com pletely minister after the eu referendum was completely aborted, and i worry it could get a bit nasty if that is the ambition. we heard michael fallon now he is backing borisjohnson final round and the last thing the saying we have to leave by the end country needs is more divisiveness at this stage. borisjohnson will be of october because that is the law. is there any way that parliament can the next prime minister. it is a stop that happening, which is rory case of whether he is the next prime minister after a relatively stewart was my argument?” collegiate fight or after a bloody stop that happening, which is rory stewart was my argument? i think fight and both the speaker and many members of collegiate fight or after a bloody fightandi collegiate fight or after a bloody fight and i would like to avoid the the conservative backbench have said latter. is there a sense that they will not come to a no deal and michael gove has blotted his copy they will not come to a no deal and they have been clear about that. book? he seems to have written out the whole cocaine thing and got over barring any significant change, i think it is very difficult for that and fit does cause problems anyone to force through a no deal initially but i wonder with the debate last night is there a sense before the 31st of october. right, that him not being as firm as boris but of the cork is just running down because the legislation is clear, we johnson was although he wasn't will leave on october 31st. —— if com pletely johnson was although he wasn't completely firm about leaving on the clock is running down. if a october the 31st, sajid javid interestingly came across as being candidate runs down the clock, how pretty declarative on that point. i candidate runs down the clock, how can parliament, according to rory
5:14 pm
stewart, stopped the clock being run wonder if michael gove is seen as down? we have an activist speaker slightly wobbly on that because he who said he is willing to bend the said, well, if you have extra time rules, which he has done before, and and you know you're going to get the interpreter erskine may in many goal in football match then it is different ways to make that happen. many candidates have said they would worth that extra bit of delight, do you think that might cause people a bit of concern? as far as far as i'm provoke parliament, close down the concerned this extra time step as debate, there are risks to our far as brussels is concerned as well. the final whistle for me democracy and parliamentary integrity with that but —— like they should have gone on the 29th of would prorogued parliament. buti march. this extra six months is plenty extra time for me and i don't think we are going to have to go for wa nt plenty extra time for me and i don't wantan plenty extra time for me and i don't want an even longer period that we are all exhausted by this long a deal unless it is an electoral mandate for no deal which is a extension. michael gove has two different question. could be then see a vote of no confidence?” problems, one arguing potentially for more extra time but lots of tory different question. could be then see a vote of no confidence? i think a number of members of parliament, at least three or four, have said on members are also sceptical of anyone who served in theresa may's cabinets the record they would vote to bring down their own government in a vote during this process, so yes he was of no confidence, is clearly the leader of the vote leave campaign, labour party would take great relish that took on his brexit credentials and bring forward such a vote if they had an opportunity and thought should be impeccable, but what you it could wind, so i think there is a have identified and the service of chance of that threat at least being
5:15 pm
theresa may's cabinet which is not made ina chance of that threat at least being made in a realistic way which would force whoever winds this leadership popular with the average tory means he isa popular with the average tory means he is a little bit dodgy in the contest to think quite hard about minds of some tory members. unfairly what their options are, whether or not they should pursue a no deal or in my view but that is some members' find an alternative course of view. it is clear boris johnson is action. that is ultimately the choice theresa may has come up again way out in front. one wonders though several times. they would risk both if it is because, it is a the democratic and parliamentary combination of reasons obviously, a consequences, and economic complicated issue, he is seen as the consequences, and economic consequences of no deal. there seems to bea consequences of no deal. there seems to be a consensus building man who can beatjeremy corbyn, he suggesting that certainly we cannot is seen as the man who can put nigel open you withdrawal agreement farage back in his box, the man who illegally, that is locked down and the european union has said it will can wina farage back in his box, the man who can win a general election, also not open that but the political seen as the man who can deliver declaration around it, wiggle room brexit. one wonders beyond all that, within that, do you see that as a positive double —— as a possible way the whole of the rest of the country, what is the appeal?” out of this? well, things can change, the european union has been the whole of the rest of the country, what is the appeal? i think open to changes previously. there is something of a brexit derangement syndrome that has happened in our country at the moment. we have seen a binding commitment not to reopen it before the 31st of october so it is difficult to revisit but changes people as brexit or remain. boris as
5:16 pm
mayor of london was supportive of to the declaration are possible. we 93v mayor of london was supportive of gay marriage, he had a very need discussion to see any change ethnically diverse team at city anyway. it would not be october 31, hall, he was quite committed to would it? yell at timescales are action on climate change, he was in incredibly tight and i think anyone many ways a progressive force and thatis who suggests it is eminently many ways a progressive force and that is why london voted for him. i think a lot of remainers think that possible is being slightly boris has died. i don't think it has disingenuous. there is not very much died, along that brexit is still the time or parliamentary european council sitting time before now and the 31st of october so that does same boris johnson and died, along that brexit is still the same borisjohnson and if he plays suggest an extension. but would it it right that combination of brexit and social progressivism if i have satisfy all wings of the said that correctly can still reunite the country and that is what conservative party? there are some people are now dead set on no deal, the merits of that put aside, the i think is why they conservative party will gamble and it is a gamble argument within the conservative for all sorts of reasons and we are party is now fundamental about two different types of brexit and there all familiar with but it is a gamble they will take and will choose him are serious questions about whether asa they will take and will choose him as a next leader at. fascinating, or not that can be resolved. boris, good to have your perspective, tim his supporters say, mrjohnson is montgomerie. let's go back to vicki charming, he can sell a used car to a person who already has one, he can young at westminster. i was just
5:17 pm
do it. would it be possible for a talking to tim montgomerie who knows the tory party very well indeed, the general feeling seems to be it is nixon to china moment? boris johnson probably sajid javid or robbie stewart who will probably be packing up stewart who will probably be packing manages to get some kind of tweak to up and going home tonight. that is obviously based on the fact that the political declaration and, because he led the league campaign they were the next two after dominic and because he is who he is, he raab yesterday so you think that manages to sell that to enough would be the case. then the next people to get that 45 or 50 mps to person, the next round is tomorrow morning so there isn't much time to get through theresa may's original try and get those extra votes on deal. that probably is boris's side, but it is interesting what tim was saying about borisjohnson, that strategy and an attempt to revisit is the debate lots of tory mps have the deal, he wants to make changes been having about which kind of to it. the big question is how much borisjohnson been having about which kind of you try to change. if he comes back boris johnson might you been having about which kind of borisjohnson might you get, those with something looking very similar who are more centrist in the party to theresa may's deal, i think it is are looking at the borisjohnson they see as a one nation conservative so called and they hope very unlikely that different members thatis conservative so called and they hope that is the one they are going to of the er g will actually back that get but there are others of course deal. they've been very clear they in the european research group we wa nt to are not just deal. they've been very clear they want to throw it completely out of in the european research group we are notjust pro brexit but a lot of them a lot in the same place as the bath, not just. .. borisjohnson when it comes to want to throw it completely out of the bath, notjust... the baby with the bath, notjust... the baby with the bath, notjust... the baby with the bath water as it were, and they social policy, so there will be a have been very clear they want a wto lot of interesting things there and with a hung parliament which person
5:18 pm
term is brexit. it is hard to ta kes with a hung parliament which person takes over as leader and they will reconcile that with other backers have to bring this party together, are borrowers who want something. bring them together and try and get them disciplined back because that has changed. if you think about the will be on the ballot with boris johnson? i will not predict, last two years, lea ks from will be on the ballot with boris johnson? iwill not predict, ithink has changed. if you think about the last two years, leaks from cabinet, the way that tory mps talk about it is all to play for. interesting, we will leave it there. thank you each other publicly the arguments for joining we will leave it there. thank you they have had, and new leader will forjoining us. have to change a of that and try and we will move on and bring you the bring some discipline back into the result later in the programme at 6pm party as well as delivering brexit, it isa when we find out who is out of the party as well as delivering brexit, it is a very tall order. indeed. thank you. let's give you an idea of running to be tory leader and prime minister. let's move on. we will move to other news... the characters that they are. let's dutch investigators have accused talk with —— start with boris four men of murder for their role in the shooting down johnson. former foreign secretary of a malaysian airlines passenger plane over eastern ukraine and mayor of london. that two term five years ago. flight mh17 was on its way from amsterdam to kuala lumpur when it was hit with a missle, speuin and mayor of london. that two term spell in city hall, seen as a killing all 298 people on board. international arrest warrants have defining moment for boris johnson now been issued for three spell in city hall, seen as a defining moment for borisjohnson in russians and a ukrainian — public service and a period of time the trial is set to start he talks a lot about in terms of his in the netherlands next year. richard galpin reports. record. course is way out in front five years ago, the wreckage of the
5:19 pm
malaysia airlines plane lay strewn across these fields in the leadership campaign, he won the first round with 214 votes and of eastern ukraine. also amongst them, the bodies increased that to 126 in the second of 298 people, of whom 80 were children. round. —— 114. jeremy hunt the foreign secretary finished second in locals here described seeing bodies the first round, 43 votes, falling from the sky. second—round 46 votes, a remainer the passenger plane, parts and some are saying that perhaps it needs to be to brexiteers to go down of which were later meticulously to the hustings for the leadership. reconstructed, had been hit by a sophisticated anti—aircraft missile, which peppered the front of the of course a former health secretary. aircraft with shrapnel. michael gove the environment this missile launcher, secretary is running jeremy hunt believed to have been used in the attack, was spotted at close for that second position on the time in territory controlled by pro—russian separatists. the ballot, environment secretary, their conflict with finished third in the previous ukrainian government forces was at its peak. ballot, first round 37 votes, increased that to 41 in the second round. the man a lot of people have today, finally, the international team been talking about rory stewart the which has been investigating what happened has announced it is international development secretary bringing murder charges against four according to the daily telegraph key people it accuses of being responsible for the deaths possibly a former mi6 spy. he can't comment but of course but he moved of so many civilians.
5:20 pm
ahead of sajid javid in the last the first is igor girkin, who is russian and a former ballot, and the first round he only senior intelligence officer. got 19 votes, 37 in the second. but he is described as being the commander on there are some pointing to his the ground in eastern ukraine on the day performance in the debate last night the malaysia airlines plane was and he himself has made it clear he brought down. didn't think he did as well as he sergey dubinskiy, who is also could. then finally the home russian, was one of girkin's deputies and, like girkin, was in regular contact secretary sajid javid, he got the with moscow. threshold just about to stay in the another russian, oleg pulatov, race yesterday of 33 votes, in the a former russian special forces soldier, was dubinskiy‘s number two. first round he got 23 votes so he did improve by ten. he is seen as a the final suspect is the ukrainian leonid kharchenko. candidate who could perhaps with his translation: together, they formed a chain, linking the self—proclaimed donetsk people republic heritage and background reach out to with the russian federation. those parts of the country that perhaps some of the others might not it was through this be able to in terms of their chain the suspects were able to get heavy military backgrounds as well. a few pen equipment from russia portraits there of the candidates who are vying for the top job. to the battlefield in eastern with me now is the former tory spin ukraine and in doctorjoanne nadler, this way, the buk mission and the former head of strategy of the 53rd brigade could be transported to the field in pervomaiskiy for theresa may chris wilkins. and its missile could be fired, with terrible consequences. good to see both and thank you being with us. first of all, do you feel
5:21 pm
but in all likelihood, the killing of so many people will not lead that it with us. first of all, do you feel thatitis with us. first of all, do you feel to that it is rory stewart who will be the suspects being sent to the trial losing? i think there could well be in the netherlands, which is due to start in march next year, because russia does not allow suspects to be extradited. a measure of tactical voting because and that means for all those killed and for their families, i think there will be a desire justice is unlikely to be done. amongst some mps to really hold richard galpin, bbc news. boris's feet to the fire as it were during the final round. evidently he is the candidate who was most determined to do that. the counter a united nations investigator says there's credible evidence to that of course is that to have the crown prince of saudi arabia the two of them go through to the was behind the murder of final vote would create such a lot the journalist jamal khashoggi. of potential blue on blue as it is the journalist, a critic known activity that people might of the prince, was last seen at the saudi consulate in istanbul rather nervous about, but he in october where it's believed he was murdered and his body dismembered. our diplomatic correspondent certainly has had a lot of momentum. his campaign whatever you think about it has really caught james landale reports. attention. i think he may stay in jamal khashoggi was a columnist for the washington post this round. i am more concerned and a prominent critic of the saudi leadership. about sajid javid. if you could hang on october the 2nd last year, he entered the saudi consulate
5:22 pm
on for a couple of seconds, joanne, in istanbul to get some papers he needed to get married. chris we will get to you as well, we he was never seen again. the un special rapporteur concluded have to go back to vicki young and he was the victim of a deliberate, central lobby at parliament with a premeditated execution guest. a few minutes to go and for by the saudi state. some of the candidates i think probably a little bit nerve—racking, but speak to gillian kagan who was supporting rory stewart. a lot of people predicting he might be the end of the dream for robbie stewart. the 100—page report, it wouldn't just be based on interviews, end of the dream for robbie stewart. it wouldn'tjust be rather read that it would be ending, i think it would recordings and cctv footage, sets out in grim detail how bea it would be ending, i think it would be a lot of people, he has captured officials at the saudi consulate the imagination and the public as planned and carried out the murder. from the initial struggle, to the sound of the body well, he has had an amazing turnout being dismembered. at events and tens of thousands of people live streaming what he does. the report names many of the saudi this is a conservative leadership election and she just wouldn't individuals who flew into istanbul expect that. i think many people and are suspected of involvement. would be disappointed. if he doesn't but crucially, it also says mohammed bin salman, get through today's round i think the crown prince and de facto ruler the contest will be quite a lot less of saudi arabia, should interesting actually. if he doesn't also be investigated, saying every expert they consulted get through to the final two, he has agreed it was inconceivable he was not aware of the operation. said he wouldst find it hard to the special rapporteur has serve in a cabinet under any of the
5:23 pm
determined that there is credible evidence, warranting further investigation candidates because of the brexit of high—level saudi officials' individual liability, including the crown prince's. policy so he hasn't gone in this to get a cabinetjob, he could end himself doing out himself out of the independent investigator also this. it is very hard, i am the said the crown prince should be kinda person but if i didn't believe what somebody is doing logical or subject to targeted sanctions by un member states until evidence reasonable or was an honest assessment of the situation i couldn't blindly follow them off the is produced proving edge of a cliff and i think he feels he has no responsibility. saudi investigators have long denied the same. he has an assessment which the crown prince was involved and 11 is we don't think the problem is suspects are facing a secret trial inside the country. brexit, we don't think the problem but the report said the saudi investigation into the death isa brexit, we don't think the problem is a bentley withdrawal agreement, of mr khashoggi had failed to meet it isa international standards is a bentley withdrawal agreement, it is a logical sensible approach. and the trial should be suspended. the problem is a hung parliament and trying to unblock that parliament. that is what he is trying to shine the spotlight on. some of his collea g u es the spotlight on. some of his colleagues think he has been a bit a woman in her eighties is in a serious condition too aggressive on his attacks on other consulates including boris in hospital after a road accident johnson, do you think that has been involving the duke and duchess a problem? i have difficulty seeing of cambridge's police escort. boris as a victim. obviously this prince william and kate blue on blue, you have to get the were travelling from london to windsor when the woman
5:24 pm
was injured on monday. line right because we are colleagues sarah campbell is in east sheen together, but i think it is a where the accident happened reasonable question. these are and has more details. extraordinary times for our country and you have to be straight and i think what rory has shown in the the duke and duchess of cambridge we re the duke and duchess of cambridge were travelling in that direction to public is that they have an appetite go to the ceremony in winds all and for some honesty. it has been different things from different the incident happened on this road. politicians and different agendas and it really doesn't know what the right thing needs to do and it is —— in windsor. two motorcycle riders confusing, is no dealer problem or not, ask anybody in the streets and they will come out with a different answer. do you any the wiser after had come out of the convoy and they we re had come out of the convoy and they were clearing a path for the convoy the debates? i worked for 30 years between this collision happened before coming here in international business so i felt i was a bit wiser between this collision happened between the convoy and a pedestrian. a nyway business so i felt i was a bit wiser anyway because i have worked in the areas most affected by brexit and i the airambulance between the convoy and a pedestrian. the air ambulance was called, a paramedic treated her here and she understand these agreements so i have read all the material, so for was taken off to hospital and it was mei described as being a serious but have read all the material, so for me i have a bit more of an understanding of what people hope to sta ble described as being a serious but stable condition. our understanding is the duke and duchess did not see be true, like every negotiation on the incident, they were aware and the upper and that is brilliant, if that isn't we get a new negotiation,
5:25 pm
sent flowers to the family, there is that isn't we get a new negotiation, that would be brilliant, but i think the real question of leadership is now an independent office for police what are you going to do if it is not available, what will you do if conduct conducting an investigation into what happened. british gas are the eu and what they are saying very consistently over time which is we are not reopening the withdrawal agreement, we will put something on the political declaration and give more comfort on the backstop and said to seejob into what happened. british gas are said to see job cuts. 4000 jobs are hopefully they'll deal with the said to see job cuts. 4000 jobs are problem some of the irish parties said to see job cuts. 4000 jobs are said to go by 2020 following a big have but they will not change their fall in operating profits. it is withdrawal agreement. if that is true what is left of many of these other plans i think it's still a said to be a terrible blow for the good question. thank you. i know you workforce. wa nt to good question. thank you. i know you want to listen to the result in the the bbc has learnt that the uk's biggest betting firms room so we will go very shortly who are offering the government the remaining candidates r. thank a significant increase in the amount you. let's just take of money they contribute towards tackling problem gambling. the industry has faced criticism about the high stakes it the remaining candidates r. thank you. let'sjust take it the remaining candidates r. thank you. let's just take it to a think allowed on fixed—odds betting it is committee room 14, where the terminals — until they were limited by the regulator earlier this year. 1922 committee will shortly make the announcement in hopefully three donald trump has officially minutes' time unless there is a launched his bid for re—election delight. they have been on time as president in 2020. pretty much right through the previous rounds so that is where we at a rally in orlando, will be getting the decision on the florida, he told his 20,000 third ballot of the leadership race.
5:26 pm
supporters that the american economy was the envy of the world — let's return to joanne and repeated attacks on hilary clinton, illegal immigrants and what he calls third ballot of the leadership race. let's return tojoanne nadlerformer tory spin doctor, and chris wilkins the "fake news" media. former head of strategy to theresa the government has been may. we just heard accused of not doing enough to protect major public venues former head of strategy to theresa from the threat may. wejust heard one former head of strategy to theresa may. we just heard one mp talking about rory stewart and how he has of terrorist attacks. electrified the campaign and brought nick aldworth — a former national it to life in the ayes of many, if counter terrorism co—ordinator — he loses out tonight where to his is calling for legislation to enforce improved security checks. votes go ? the campaign for better security was started he loses out tonight where to his votes go? i think naturally you in memory of martyn hett, would think that some of his votes who died in the manchester arena attack — asjudith moritz reports. would think that some of his votes would go towards michael gove. what will probably happen if rory does lose out tonight, i suspect sajid security screening has become part of modern life, most people do not javid might also consider dropping give such as a second thought when out and backing borisjohnson and they dive at a venue. memories fresh then you get a straight fight from the attacks in 2017. people between michael gove and jeremy hunt tomorrow. i think rory‘s votes would died on my watch. that is a bird and i have to carry. this man was naturally go more towards michael thanjeremy naturally go more towards michael than jeremy but naturally go more towards michael thanjeremy but ultimately i think responsible for keeping the uk it is true to say boris would rather secure from terrorism, now he is facejeremy it is true to say boris would rather face jeremy hunt in it is true to say boris would rather warning new legislation is needed to facejeremy hunt in the final two make sure venues are safe and says and he has enough votes that he can
5:27 pm
the voluntary nature of the government's current strategy is to almost engineer it and lend votes to relax. i do not think they are being jeremy hunt in the final round to make sure that is what happens. fast enough or being innovative and currently i think the odds are off in what needs to be done. probably in favour of a boris anything less than new legislation johnsonjeremy probably in favour of a boris johnson jeremy hunt ran probably in favour of a boris johnsonjeremy hunt ran off but it isa anything less than new legislation is unpredictable and nothing is is a compromise. we have the potential for places to be attacked certain. what exactly is the clear blue water between the two of them, and for the consequence of those attacks, should they happen, to be joanne, in terms of brexit? between far worse than they needed to be. borisjohnson joanne, in terms of brexit? between boris johnson and jeremy hunt. that isa after the spate of attacks in 2017, boris johnson and jeremy hunt. that is a good question because last night's debate i thought was the government gave the police more money to increase the number of absolutely revelatory because boris johnson on the one thing that he and vehicle barriers, like this one. but his team are stressing is the those pushing for a new legislation say security should not just be absolute core of his approach, which those pushing for a new legislation say security should notjust be the responsibility of public bodies but is that we would leave the eu on also venue operators in the private sector. martin hett was one of 22 halloween hook or by crook as it were, he seemed to be slightly people killed in the explosion at ambivalent about that it strikes me. manchester arena. the element before martin died, i would not have had a if you built in and ambivalence from clue about any of this. it was not borisjohnson quite if you built in and ambivalence from boris johnson quite frankly it is
5:28 pm
on my radar. his mother has been quite difficult to see what the differences between him and jeremy campaigning fora hunt. so, when it comes to that on my radar. his mother has been campaigning for a law in his name to make every venue have to plan for the threaten of an attack. do you debate in the country if it is indeed there was two, that is the think we have to become barrio thing they will both have to hone britain, have a security check in front of every venue? absolutely because they will be asked about it all the time at every hustings that they attend even if it is nominally not. when i think people like martin who enjoy these events without about something other than brexit.” having to go through loads of security, we are talking about suppose, chris, some might say it is common sense here, it could just be not really going to matter whoever people being trained in recognising borisjohnson gets because he has got the party, a bit like donald suspicious behaviour. even as basic trump with the republicans in the as that. the support of some venues united states, he has got it locked down, hasn't he? boris had won is already there for people who say they do not see extra legislation is before he had even started in my view. i think the shame of it is and a problem. i look at it as a business opportunity and say if we i disagree with joanna view. i think the shame of it is and i disagree withjoanna and what tim can demonstrate we are putting the said earlier, the final two, we had appropriate measures in place to a chance to have a interesting ensure the security of the visitors, debate about the future of the party the venue, the employees, then that has got to be a good thing. wife and the country and that would have maggie government said it is been good to have rory stewart
5:29 pm
considering further legislation and because they are the extremes, i is keen to discuss the security think that would have been healthy issue with those campaigning for to ta ke think that would have been healthy to take the opportunity to have the martin's law. discussion about what kind of party do we want to be and what kind of future do we want for the country , the government said it is and afinal considering further legislation and future do we want for the country and a final two that is boris is keen to discuss the security johnson and jeremy hunt, there isn't issue with those campaigning for much difference between them and it martin's law. the ballots are being counted in is almost i think ultimately round three of the race for the slightly futile because i do think conservative leadership and subsequent new prime minister. time for a look at the weather. borisjohnson will win so i am not today has been a pretty showery day really. still the potential for a few big ones across east anglia and south—east england where the air is quite humid at the moment but it's not the only place that has seen some showers, with plenty across the north west and scotland, northern ireland as well. through this evening and overnight, any storms across east anglia and south—east england will clear away, showers will then tend to become confined to western scotland with the weather largely becoming dry elsewhere. temperatures between 8—12dc overnight with clear spells.
5:30 pm
tomorrow, weather—wise, another day of sunshine and showers, and close to an area —— and in areas of scotland, we will see that pressure coming in quickly. showers will develop, england and wales, for most areas, dry morning. some sunshine. showers will develop as we had through the afternoon. some of which could become heavy but still some gaps between no showers, so still some sunshine to look forward to. temperatures between 15—19dc and feeling significantly fresher across england compared to today's weather. 00:30:32,006 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 that your latest forecast.
