have spoken to one of the mps michael gove also tweeted to say he backing sajid javid and he said his was delighted to come second. "if i phone has not stopped. he has been make the final two i look forward to in television studios, his phone is ringing saying jeremy hunt, then having a civilised debate about the future of our country." the next few borisjohnson, michael gove. ringing saying jeremy hunt, then boris johnson, michael gove. i ringing saying jeremy hunt, then borisjohnson, michael gove. iasked him what their pitch is. team jeremy hunt said that a run—off between borisjohnson hunt said that a run—off between boris johnson and michael gove hours will be quite lively. yes, hunt said that a run—off between borisjohnson and michael gove would be too divisive because of what happened in the past. hilariously, someone hours will be quite lively. yes, someone making the point the spoilt ballot papers could have made it a as we were standing there, he said draw, which i don't think anybody people are literally jumping would want. let's speak to two tory as we were standing there, he said people are literallyjumping out from behind pillars to try to twist mps, starting with chris fraser. you his arm. as we stood there, someone who supported borisjohnson said i are supporting sajid javid, what do need to speak to you, took him by you make of the campaign he ran?|j the arm and dragged him off into a am very proud. it was energetic and cafeteria. that is what's going on for the 34 people whose votes are up optimistic, he communicated really well through the debates and for the 34 people whose votes are up for grabs. the teams are still out hustings, and i think he set an there making their case and this was incredible example for the country penny mordaunt talking aboutjeremy

showing what a unifying force he could be and showing he has been living the british dream. you can hunt. i think he has been steady on start anywhere in life as he did as the son of immigrants who arrived in the son of immigrants who arrived in the country with nothing to their name and with hard work and ability a variety of issues the public he has risen to home secretary and really care about. we have seen a lot of tactical voting in previous has nearly become prime minister so rounds but now, just as the first that sets a fantastic example. i rounds but now, just as the first round was, now you will see people know that sajid javid has a huge telling the truth in their votes. future ahead of him in public life but most of all i am proud to be there has been speculation about able to have helped his campaign, whether people are voting tactically so if you are a supporter of boris johnson you know he has loads of andl able to have helped his campaign, and i hope as i say it has been... votes, he will get through, he will the story is a beacon of hope for be fine. might you use your vote to people who come from his sort of get your preferred opponent into the background and his roots across the final round? there has been denial country. who will you support? lucy from team johnson they are has been doing her level best to get organising that but they cannot stop me into borisjohnson's column but mps from acting individually to do the truth is i haven't decided. i so. this was a supporter of michael gove making the case for his man. have been preoccupied supporting sajid javid until the result came out so now i have thinking to do two committed brexiteers, i don't

over the next couple of hours to think it is enough to have someone make my mind up so i haven't decided. lucy, do your worst, try to who says they respect the result, we had that in theresa may and it persuade him. i suppose boris johnson doesn't really need these didn't work. boris johnson had that in theresa may and it didn't work. borisjohnson is votes. i think every vote matters. i had that in theresa may and it didn't work. boris johnson is a had that in theresa may and it didn't work. borisjohnson is a big character but does less on detail and michael gove who is a detail man have been supporting borisjohnson with a track record of delivery. the for two reasons. the first is the most critical thing facing our striking thing about borisjohnson's country at the moment, our deal with the eu. we tried to have a deal and campaign is the level of organisation. i was speaking to some people earlier who spoke about the failed so we need to change the detailed work they have done over the last couple of months to bring approach in europe and the person to do that and the person who brings a people in who were on the other side of the argument, the remain side. different type of approach is boris johnson. after we have dealt with the eu, we need to think about the they have been tracking mps, getting supporters, sending them out to try domestic challenges that face us for to persuade others. it has been a example improving living standards very tough and well—organised and education. boris johnson example improving living standards and education. borisjohnson has not campaign and it seems to have paid only talked about those things but off with boris johnson at the delivered on them when he was london moment, with more than half the tory mayor. how important is it to try to mps backing him. i spoke to one bring the party back together? it earlier, lucy fraser. has been an incredibly divisive

time. the issue of brexit is one that divides the country, divides parliament and there have been the first is the most critical thing facing our country at the moment, our deal with the eu. we tried to have a deal and failed divisions in the party as well. all so we need to change the of the candidates at this last stage approach in europe and have said they will unite behind the person to do that and the person who brings a different type of approach whichever leader emerges from this process and that is important for is borisjohnson. the sake of the country as well. lots of speculation about sajid there is a huge job to do, it javid, i think most people think he probably does a —— require a will get behind boris johnson. javid, i think most people think he will get behind borisjohnson. there is also a lot of talk about whether different approach as lucy says, he could end up being the chancellor then we need to move forward on the at the end of this. anyway his team domestic agenda afterwards. there is proud of the campaign he has run. good news with record low this is chris phil. unemployment, wages rising, and that good news tends to get lost under the brexit debate so we need to make sure that message comes through. are you concerned that some people supporting boris johnson want you concerned that some people supporting borisjohnson want one thing when it comes to brexit, others want something else. the evening standard saying that paper with hard work and ability he has

is supporting boris johnson, risen to home secretary and evening standard saying that paper is supporting borisjohnson, looking at the candidate most likely to has nearly become prime minister so that sets a fantastic example. bring forward a reversion to a deal i know that sajid javid has a huge future ahead of him in public life that theresa may had, or a second but most of all i am proud to be referendum. i think most people want able to have helped his campaign. how come they were spoiled ballots? to have a deal, most people would the speculation is it could have like us to leave the eu with a deal been rory stewart fans who are that works for the country and chris unhappy he has been knocked out. they feel they have been dirty is right to identify how we are doing at the moment. since we had tricks so maybe they are to blame. the vote in the eu, in fact we have somebody suggested it could have had the strongest growing economy been the prime minister. she gave within europe and we have had her vote as a proxy today, because significant foreign investment which continues to grow so we can continue many mps have other things to do so to grow beyond brexit but we just need to get that deal done, which i they are trusting others with their vote. i'm going to go around think everybody would like us to achieve. do you think boris johnson watching people being bombarded with 01’ achieve. do you think boris johnson others trying to persuade them to or do you from his camp care who he has to fight in the last round?|j vote for their person. thank you, vicki young. think has to fight in the last round?” think what this contest has shown is the 28 eu heads of government are that we have some fantastic meeting in brussels today. brexit candidates in the conservative

has only been allotted a five minute party, all with different strengths and weaknesses. i have told you why discussion tomorrow morning. the dutch prime minister has told the iam and weaknesses. i have told you why i am supporting borisjohnson but i think boris is a good campaigner and willing to take on anyone who comes bbc‘s europe editor that leaving the in second place and i wish whoever eu will leave the uk a diminished they are the best of luck. player in the world stage. when the new prime minister comes in and asks lots of thinking for all of those foran new prime minister comes in and asks for an extension we have to learn mps backing sajid javid and that what his plan will be in terms of ballot will get under way soon. the elections, the referendum, making changes to red lines. if an exciting afternoon for us both, i will talk to you later. the defence secretary penny mordaunt nothing is happening, it would mean spoke to my colleague after the 31st of october again can andrew neil shortly after the vote. she's supporting jeremy hunt, we make changes, no we can't, then who was pushed into third there is no point in having an place and gave her extension. so you would be prepared reaction to the result. i'm sorry we had some spoilt ballot to have a no—deal brexit on the 31st papers in there, but he has reached of october? no, i hate brexit from this stage and we are glad he is still in the race and i think it is every angle, i hate no—deal brexit important we focus on which from every angle. we have to work candidates will make the best final towards a negotiated brexit and i and that doesn't necessarily mean hope it is possible by the 31st of entertainment for journalists, and that doesn't necessarily mean october. again, with brexit, be it

entertainment forjournalists, it means people that will focus on the issues, the policies, and set out a vision and direction for the party. ha rd october. again, with brexit, be it hard or not, the impact on the uk i'm supporting jeremy hunt because i think he is the guy to do that. why economy and society, everything, is huge. it is so much bigger than so is there no momentum behind his many people anticipate and that is campaign? indeed he has fallen back. my worry about the uk. therefore i am so sad that you are doing this i think he has been steady, he has because the impact is huge and many set out a clear division notjust on how he intends to get brexit done people have underestimated it. you and done well for the country but will have a diminished role on the also on a whole variety of other world stage and it will have an issues that the public care about. impact on society. the populist we have seen a lot of tactical eurosceptic threat for those who voting in previous rounds but now, believe in the eu hasn't gone away, has it? not completely. just as the first round was, now you will see people telling the truth in their votes. you will see people voting for the people they want to see in the final. that's what i hope will happen and we should put the it's something you deal with here that you have had to face again brexit remain debate behind us and in your recent general election. pick the candidates who will make how does the eu navigate its way through? the best prime ministers. it is not surely we are in a period

of new politics. about our party, it is about the the paradox is this, and i had this discussion many next prime minister too.” times with david cameron. the direction the united kingdom wanted the eu to take, we took. so, from, let's say, 2012, 2013 onwards, this whole idea of an ever closer union, the unavoidability of history, about our party, it is about the next prime minister too. i have been of this unavoidable march to a sort joined by two local association of european superstate, is all gone. nobody in a senior position in the european union is any longer pleading for that. chairman. greg, perhaps i can start john worboys, the so—called black—cab rapist who was almost with you. in your region you have freed from jail last year, has pleaded guilty to four more not got a tory mp for the first time offences in which he drugged women in order to sexually assault them. since 2018 so what will your worboys, who now calls himselfjohn radford, was originallyjailed for assaults on 12 women, though it's thought priorities be for whoever takes over? i think there are two things he may have attacked more than 100. the parole board recommended him that need to happen next. the first for early release from jail last year, but that was overturned after an appeal by is that as the mps see through the some of his victims. danny shaw is at the old bailey. final stage, they need to make sure the candidates who will go into the these convictions prove his offending went further back final two have a fair wind behind than he had previously admitted. them. i run a political intelligence agency and we get briefed by the eu today at the old bailey via 27 and they are willing to make

videolink, he pleaded guilty to four either a deal or no deal work. the second thing is once it comes offences against women dating through to the next stage and it back from 2000 to 2008. comes to us in the membership, the he's the serial sex offender who came close to being one thing the members really want to released from prison. john worboys was jailed in 2009 see is an exit by the end of for attacks on 12 women. october. that is their paramount he picked the victims up in his black taxi and then offered demand of this contest. we will be them drinks laced with sedatives so he could sexually looking to see who has the best plan assault or rape them. is to be able to do that. if we get worboys denied the offences for almost a decade until he had the prospect of release. toa is to be able to do that. if we get to a situation where labour won't deliver brexit and the conservatives he convinced the parole board he'd taken responsibility for these cannot, i would fear that in the crimes and the board ruled general election we will see some it was safe to let him out. in the row that followed, dramatic changes. here in canterbury nick hardwick, the parole we we re dramatic changes. here in canterbury we were split pretty evenly but in board chairman, resigned and the high court overturned the european elections that have the release decision. gone past the brexit party smashed it, even within this constituency. the court said that the parole panel should have taken account of worboys‘ wider alleged they got 17,000 votes, more than pattern of offending. police believe he attacked over 100 women. twice as many as labour and the some came forward after the coverage last year, and today worboys admitted drugging four of them. conservatives combined so we need to make sure we leave the european union at the end of october. denise, the lawyer who represented two

i should point outjeremy hunt is your local mp but in terms of the of his victims in the high court issues you want answers to, is it hearing last year said mostly about brexit? it is about the conviction today entirely undermined the explanations he had brexit and who can deliver that and who is best poised to do so. in given to the parole board. terms of negotiating with the eu, we the crown prosecution service described john worboys as a sexual should be asking if we want a predator who had left journalist or a business person to countless victims traumatised. be doing those negotiations. if we as for the sentence that will be imposed, we won't know end up this afternoon with michael that until september. gove and boris johnson we will have the choice of twojournalists the judge has ordered john worboys gove and boris johnson we will have the choice of two journalists and gove and boris johnson we will have the choice of twojournalists and i think that would be a big mistake to come to the old bailey in person for that sentencing hearing and one for the party. we need someone who of the options available has the respect of the leaders of to the judge is to give him a life sentence. the country, and he's tough negotiations so that's what i will be looking for and i would like to you're watching afternoon live, see answers on how boris particular these are our headlines: sajid javid will negotiate with leaders of the is eliminated from the tory leadership race; michael gove european union. that is fair to overtakes jeremy hunt for second place. borisjohnson again tops suggest that ifjeremy hunt takes the poll with a big lead. the second slot against boris borisjohnson tweeted moments after the announcement that he was delighted johnson, you will supportjeremy hunt whatever they say to you in the to have the support of over half

of all conservative mps coming weeks. that who would say but there was much more work to do. a royal split — prince harry and meghan leave the royal foundation, that? you will always be on the side the charity he set up as a joint ofjeremy hunt. one must be venture with the duke and duchess of cambridge ten years ago. impartial but personally i cannot help it. i have known him for 17 years and he has a high level of integrity, he is incredibly smart in sport, scotland's boss bemoans and a tough negotiator so that is refereeing decisions after their who i would want to be battling to dramatic exit at the women's world deliver brexit. notjust cup. david warner hits an astonishing 166 who i would want to be battling to deliver brexit. not just talk, who i would want to be battling to deliver brexit. notjust talk, this is not about style, it's about as australia set bangladesh 382 for substance. greig, this is going to victory at the cricket world cup. british number one kyle edmund is come down to your constituency if beaten in the first round at queens you like, a battle between boris by the top seed, as defending johnson and who? is there anyone you champion marin cilic also loses. i think could give him a run for his will be back with more on those money? i wouldn't take for granted stories just after half past. what the final outcome will be. it is worth bearing in mind last time the members took part in a leadership election david davis was the runaway favourite but the the duke and duchess of sussex

are to formally split conservative party membership went from theirjoint charity for david cameron because they saw with the duke and duchess of cambridge and set him asa up their own foundation. for david cameron because they saw him as a more electorally attractive harry and meghan are to break away person to lead the party and the from the royal foundation. william and kate will remain country. i cannot stress how with the original charity which was created in 2009 as a vehicle for the princes important grassroots members take to carry out charitable work. their responsibility in picking the the duchesses of cambridge next prime minister. it is someone and sussex both joined the foundation as patrons to lead the country through what when they married. will be a challenging phase. i have a high degree of confidence in any our royal correspondent nicholas one of these three candidates being witchell spoke to me earlier. able to deliver brexit and more importantly what happens next, as what we are invited to believe... long as they are very committed and the changes are best designed to complement the work and clear on getting us out at the end responsibilities of their royal highnesses as they prepare for their future roles. of october. from the grassroots which they have been doing since birth, frankly. perspective it's important we get to yes, it's not as if see the whites of their eyes during their future roles, this stage of the election. once the and the divergence between decision has been made, everyone rallies behind the winner whoever it the man who will be king is. denise, when it comes to the negotiations, how much will it be about character? can ijust make a point about the 31st of october who will not has been known about. because i don't think any of these the first thing you see on the website is a mission statement

three candidates are now saying that that says, "when people come will be a red line, that we will together they can achieve great things." that was the message very much leave on a cliff edge. boris has in february last year but clearly things have changed since then. backed down from that, he was harry is with meghan challenged in the debate. he was and they clearly wish ambiguous. people don't want ambiguity, they want to know what will be delivered. if asjeremy has to pursue their own charitable objectives, though it is said on the 31st of october we are important to stress there will be some objectives that will be common within inches of a new deal, that to both families. would be folly to put farmers and mental health, conservation. and they will continue to work together but have separate charitable vehicles. fishermen end business is at risk when we are close to a deal so that on the front page of the website, as we see, there is speaking the truth. that is is a picture of william ambiguous as well though, isn't it? and harry, all smiles. there have been rumours for a long time about the not necessarily, why? saying if we relationship between the duchesses but what is going on behind—the—scenes? are not quite there we will give it i think there is little doubt that william and harry are not quite there we will give it a bit more time. you can only firmly have, to an extent, grown apart make a decision about something like and i think there was a particularly that when you are there. the project difficult period between them some months ago, which in advance what the world will look we are told was all patched up. like in october the 31st is naive and not speaking the truth to the they got togetherjust before easter, i think it was, and membership. greig, how important

smoothed over those difficulties. will trust be? it is essential. by i'm sure that will have been difficult for the time we come to the autumn we both of them, given the proximity will be about three years past the of the brotherly relationship to both of them and i'm sure harry has looked referendum date. everybody knows to william extensively over recent yea rs, where the chess pieces are. we did a but he is now married, he is with meghan. straw poll of 500 members recently he has their son so there and about 65% of them supported are new priorities. boris and well over 90% insisted they have moved their base away from that the next prime minister must be able to get us out by the end of kensington palace down to windsor and the households have separated. october so that is what i would like to see them do. greig baker and is that not inevitable? denise le gal, thank you very much to an extent, i'm sure for coming in. it was but i also think there is a little bit more to it than that. there has been, you know, a clash of personalities... there is bound to be. there are in john worboys, the so—called all families. black—cab rapist who was almost freed with the degree of attention paid from jail last year, to them, every little has pleaded guilty to four more offences in stress and strain will be magnified. one must suppose that meghan which he drugged women in order to sexually assault them. worboys, who now calls and kate, two different people with himselfjohn radford, was originallyjailed for assaults different backgrounds and agendas, on 12 women, though it's thought he may have attacked more than 100. different objectives and the parole board recommended him for early release from jail last

different personalities, so it year, but that was overturned after an appeal by some of his victims. danny shaw is at the old bailey. would be surprising if there weren't a divergence and this is part that divergence. these convictions prove his nicholas witchell. offending went further back than he had previously admitted. today at harvey proctor who is 72 has been the old bailey via video link he giving evidence at the trial of kyle pleaded guilty to four offences beach who has been lying to police against women back to 2000. atan beach who has been lying to police at an alleged vip paedophile rape. he's the serial sex offender fiona trott has been following the case and can bring us this. who came close to being released from prison. john worboys was jailed in 2009 the last few minutes the former tory for attacks on 12 women. he picked the victims up mp responded directly to the in his black taxi and then offered allegations of murder and child them drinks laced with sedatives so he could sexually abuse that kyle beach made against assault or rape them. worboys denied the offences him. asked about the claim he had for almost a decade until he had the prospect of release. strangled and stabbed the boy to death, he said the allegation is he convinced the parole board he'd taken responsibility for these false, inseminated from a polluted crimes and the board ruled it was safe to let him out. imagination, he told the court. he was questioned about an alleged in the row that followed, third murder in which he was accused nick hardwick, the parole of beating a third boy to death with

board chairman, resigned the former head of m15 and he said and the high court overturned the release decision. the court said that the parole panel these are more ravings of a should have taken account fantasist. there was another of worboys‘ wider alleged allegation that harvey proctor pattern of offending. threatened to cut part of carl police believe he attacked over 100 women. beech's body and he said he never some came forward after the coverage attempted to do that, either in a last year, and today worboys admitted drugging four of them. town house or a tent in the desert. it is another absurdity, he told the court. he also said, i have never met nick. that was the name given to the lawyer who represented two of his victims in the high court carl beech' when this first came to hearing last year said the conviction today entirely undermined light, and he said there is no the explanations he had given to the westminster vip paedophile ring. he also told the court about the pa role the explanations he had given to the parole board. the crown prosecution service described john worboys as a metropolitan police investigation, he said he believed it is going at a sexual predator who had left snails pace. he said it took three cou ntless sexual predator who had left countless victims traumatised. as for the sentence that will be and a half months to find out what the allegations were against him and imposed, we won't know that until the allegations were against him and thejurors the allegations were against him and the jurors heard he the allegations were against him and thejurors heard he held a press september. thejudge conference the day after the second imposed, we won't know that until september. the judge has imposed, we won't know that until september. thejudge has ordered john worboys to come to the old interview because he said he bailey in person for that sentencing couldn't wait. "i wanted to declare hearing and one of the options available to the judge is to give

my innocence from the rooftops" he him a life sentence. the duke and duchess of sussex are to formally split said. earlier harvey proctor broke from theirjoint charity down in tears when he was speaking with the duke and duchess of cambridge and set about the police raid on his home, up their own foundation. which took about 11 hours he said harry and meghan are to break away from the royal foundation. william and kate will remain they were therefore. he said he left with the original charity which was created in 2009 they were therefore. he said he left the tv running and the next morning, as a vehicle for the princes to carry out charitable work. the duchesses of cambridge "i looked up to see my face looking and sussex both joined the foundation as patrons back at me, the story i was when they married. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell is with me now. connected with historic child what exactly have they announced? murders." the hearing has finished they have announced that the for today. carl beech denies all allegations against him and the trial continues tomorrow. fiona trott, thank you very much. sussexes are leaving the royal britain's first hydrogen train has foundation. they previously sat been unveiled today in warwickshire. around and said they are committed the hydroflex produces no harmful emissions, just water. to it, but it is perhaps not it's been developed by birmingham university and the train maker porterbrook, unexpected that two married couples and the long—term aim is to remove with families have to an extent, diesel trains from the network. the train will go through trials but drifted apart. is that what has could be operating within two years. here's our transport happened? who can tell, really? what

correspondent, tom burridge. we are invited to believe... the changes are best designed to it's the first of its kind. complement the work and a british train powered by hydrogen. responsibilities of their royal highnesses as they prepare for their future roles. which they have been so what's the technology on board? this is about as green as a train gets. doing since birth, frankly. yes, the hydrogen is stored in those it's not as if their future roles, tanks at high pressure. it's then piped through this myriad and the divergence between that it of piping here into the fuel cell, where it's mixed with oxygen will be king and the one who will from the air to create electricity. that in turn, you can see all the wiring here, can drive the motors underneath the train, not... the first thing you see on and can be stored in this the website is a mission statement that says, "when people come giant battery back here, together they can achieve great things." that was the message very because when there's not a source for electricity overhead, much in february last year but the battery can power the train. clearly things have changed since then. harry is with meghan and they what we're trying to do is make a transport system clearly wish to pursue their own that's low emission, and the only thing that's emitted charitable objectives, though it is from here is pure water. important to stress there will be the train will be used some objectives that will be common to test the technology,

to both families. mental health, and the hope is that the hydrogen conservation, and they will continue trains will be carrying to work together but have separate passengers in two years' time. charitable vehicles. on the front page of the website as we see there the next challenge is to get this isa page of the website as we see there is a picture of william and harry, train ready to go out on the mainline network, so it's going to run all smiles. there have been rumours for a long time about the on your regular train lines out passing through stations. relationship between the duchesses and we're going to do that, to test the train in a normal but what is going on working environment. behind—the—scenes?” but what is going on behind-the-scenes? i think there is little doubt that william and harry have to an extent grown apart and i so we've got to get the equipment fitted underneath the train working think there was a particularly to a good standard so these trains difficult period between them some will be ready to go out for public use in two or three years' time. months ago which we are told was all so why does britain need hydrogen trains? a quarter of britain's trains run patched up. they got togetherjust solely off diesel, like this one. before easter i think it was and the government wants them all phased out over the next 20 years, smoothed over those difficulties. but the majority of the rail network i'm sure that will have been around the country doesn't have electric cabling overhead, and that's where hydrogen difficult for both of them given the trains come in. proximity of the brotherly relationship to both of them and i'm sure harry has looked to william extensively over recent years, but he is now married, he is with there are only two hydrogen trains in service in the entire world. meghan. he has their sons so there they‘ re in germany. more are being built there. are new priorities. they have

making rail travel cleaner in britain is a priority, and it will only be possible with hydrogen trains like this one. separated their households. is that there's thousands of miles not inevitable to an extent? i'm of railway that will never be electrified, and for those sub—75 sure it was but i also think there isa mph journeys, if we want to sure it was but i also think there is a little bit more to it than eliminate diesel traction by 2040, that. there has been, you know, a as the government wants to do, batteries aren't going to be clash of personalities... there is the whole answer, and this is. bound to be. there are in all the challenge now is moving the tanks, batteries and fuel cell from inside the carriage and fitting families. with the degree of it underneath the train, attention paid to them, every little freeing up vital space for seats and passengers. stress and strain will be magnified. tom burridge, bbc news, one must suppose that meghan and in long marston, warwickshire. kate, two different people with different backgrounds and agendas, different backgrounds and agendas, different objectives and personalities, so it would be now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willets. surprising if there weren't divergences. this is part that divergence. if those eyebrows could you are here with your map, and what tell a story! that i think is an does it mean? i haven't changed the weather since we talked last time. accurate account, which isn't some people have joined weather since we talked last time. some people havejoined since then.

delving into the sort of gossip column end of it. that is what we they have. i haven't changed the know, and clearly no smoke without maps since yesterday either. fire but this is formalising the tomorrow with high pressure coming charitable work end of it and it will mean they have more control, in... if you are sitting on the harry and meghan, though it is train in warwickshire you won't care denied this is being done so that if it is raining. but anyway, if you they have complete control over are sitting on the train the sun should be shining, something we their own affairs. ok, one might ta ke their own affairs. ok, one might take that with a pinch of salt. nicholas witchell, thank you very haven't seen throughout june. what, the sun? no, high pressure. come on, much. let's get more on the main story. the conservative leadership race. vicki young is in the central we have seen the sun. this chart lobby, itching to get back on air. shows, as you pointed out earlier for those who have justjoined we have been speaking to all of the shows, as you pointed out earlier for those who havejustjoined us, we have low teams, so let's speak now to team gove. the battle for second place is hotting up, why do you think it should be michael gove who challenges boris johnson?” should be michael gove who challenges boris johnson? i have always felt the next prime minister should be someone who supported leave in the referendum campaign and

michael has got a very good track re cord michael has got a very good track record in government. the one thing you often hear about michael is how constructive he has been in cabinet. i think it is important we have somebody who has supported the leave campaign, but actually look at what he has done in education, in the ministry ofjustice, and importantly more recently what he has been doing in defra. particularly the line he has taken on plastics. he is well placed to challenge boris johnson andl placed to challenge boris johnson and i don't think this will be a coronation for boris johnson. everyone looks at the polling that has been done of conservative grassroots, they have the final say, and he looks so popular that some are suggesting don't even bother with having a ballot about that because he will win. i don't think thatis because he will win. i don't think that is the case at all. if i look at my own membership there is a

variety of views but this is not given. i frequently hear the press saying it is obviously going to be him, is not at all, and i think what people will look at and what the conservative party membership will look at is the track record of people when they have been in government, and as i say michael government, and as i say michael gove has a superb track record. critically now, climate change and all michael is doing on plastics, those sorts of things will be important because this isn'tjust about being leader of the conservative party, it's about being prime minister and winning general elections. there are some who are saying actually a michael gove, borisjohnson saying actually a michael gove, boris johnson run—off would saying actually a michael gove, borisjohnson run—off would be divisive for the party because of the previous history, last time round michael gove pulling his support from boris johnson at round michael gove pulling his support from borisjohnson at the last minute saying borisjohnson wasn't capable of being prime minister. team hunt are saying we

cannot have a repeat of that psychodrama. we haven't got a repeat of that. they are all in this race and they are all in it to win. i think michael has run a good campaign, he has talked about things that matter to him, and his track re cord that matter to him, and his track record in government is superb. both michael gove and jeremy hunt are neighbours of mine, so two excellent candidates but it is not in the back for borisjohnson. candidates but it is not in the back for boris johnson. are you worried about people voting tactically? anyone who does that would be making a huge mistake. it would be important for the next prime minister to be someone on the leave campaign. you can try all sorts of tactics and there are rumours about people doing well in my view would be quite despicable things. this should be a proper campaign with

people voting for the person they think is best able to lead this country because this goes wider than the conservative party. this is about the future of this country. thank you very much indeed. a nail—biting couple of hours ahead for the remaining candidates. and indeed for all of us. i will talk to you later, thank you. now it is time to look at the weather with helen. that doesn't look so good behind you, that low pressure. before we started june, we needed the rain. it is midsummer tomorrow and, on cue, high—pressure for midsummer. so that is good news? summer is now here. yes, it is good news, summer is here briefly. the low pressure behind me does not look too good. not only dry weather but something warmer. not as

hot as it has been across many of the other countries in europe but we will start to import some of the south easterly air, which means our humidity and temperatures will increase at least across southern and eastern areas. just slipping away across into the north sea, allowing low pressure to come in so the age—old battle of high versus low and which will win. we have seen difficult weather in other parts of europe. our thing settling down? i was looking at the satellite and radar and lightning display. we had lightning on wednesday and thursday. it is lighting up across eastern europe with massive thunderstorms, which is what you get at this time of year. the way the world is warming, we have more energy. temperatures are higher than 100 yea rs temperatures are higher than 100 years ago and you will get more of these big storms but it is typical this time of year across many parts of europe with the heat, you get storms.

so anybody asking how the weekend is looking? it is ok for many, the first part, the second half is giving us a problem and the other problem, seeing more sunshine, the pollen levels are going up. this naval factor. is levels are going up. this navalfactor. is that levels are going up. this naval factor. is that an official term? this this naval factor. is that an official term ? this neville this naval factor. is that an official term? this neville factor? —— snivel factor! and here we go, the sunshine police, as i am known upstairs. very strong, the highest sun in the sky tomorrow, as strong as it gets in the next few days, very strong sunshine as well. today we have showers packing eastwards but we have some wonderful pictures being sent in. a particular favourite of mine. and this is the cloud building. the shower is not as

heavy as recent days and there is not much risk of thunder. it does not much risk of thunder. it does not feel as warm as yesterday because we lost the humidity. and thatis because we lost the humidity. and that is the nice thing about the high pressure. we have showers. we might geta high pressure. we have showers. we might get a shower at queens. but they ease away overnight for all but they ease away overnight for all but the north and west. it becomes a co mforta ble, the north and west. it becomes a comfortable, even fresh night. the high pressure is to blame for the colder weather but it will warm up, of course. fewer showers tomorrow and saturday but looming large, we need to watch the low pressure in the atlantic. there is uncertainty about it. tomorrow there will be showers particularly in the highlands and islands of scotland. possibly cumbria and the dales. but it is largely dry. it will feel warmer because the wind is lighter tomorrow. a nice day. another cool

start on saturday morning but then the cloud tends to bubble up. enough momentum to give the odd shower but very isolated. it will feel warmer. the wind is light. as the day progresses that switches to the south—east and on sunday, south—easterly wind —— winters will affect the pressure. it is the western side of the uk seeing rain on sunday. warm further east but with the heat building there is the potential sunday night to monday for big showers, forming further east in areas where we have seen a lot of rain the past two months. that could lead to flash flooding. with another 20-40 lead to flash flooding. with another 20—40 millimetres rain forecast and already there is a warning to make us aware already there is a warning to make us aware that although it is getting

drier, the potential is for something nasty to be triggered later that weekend, early next week. but temperatures will continue to rise next week. we could get into the mid—, high 20s. and humidity in between and showers and thunderstorms. plenty going on. the latest headlines. sajid javid is

eliminated from the tory leadership race of michael gove overtakes jeremy hunt in second place with borisjohnson topping the poll. jeremy hunt in second place with boris johnson topping the poll. the following candidates are eligible to continue to the next ballot, which will take place this afternoon at 3:30pm in committee room 14. michael gove, jeremy hunt, and boris johnson. boris johnson tweeted he was delighted to have the support of more than half of conservative mps but that there was more work to do. prince harry and meghan markle leave the royal foundation, the prince harry and meghan markle leave the royalfoundation, the charity prince harry and meghan markle leave the royal foundation, the charity he set up as a joint venture with the duke of cambridge. and new images revealed the dramatic melting of ice in the himalayas. and now the sport. we talk about the world cup and if you are in scotland, do not mention

var. scotland, a win would have likely seen them qualify for the knockout stages and they were leading by three goals with 15 minutes to play but it seems nerve setting. argentina reducing things to 3-2 setting. argentina reducing things to 3—2 before the video assistant referee awarded argentina a penalty in the final minute of regular time. the first penalty saved by lee alexander only to be called back by var again after it was judged she stepped off the line too early. that meant scotland missed out. in real time it looked very harsh. since the first ofjune it's caused some confusion so let's clear it up — since the first ofjune keepers must keep one foot on or in line the goal line, they must not be moving, touching the crossbar, or stood behind the line. that will only really favour the attacking side it means goalkeepers will find it difficult to save any penalties. we spoke to england's beth mead about the situation earlier today.

there are pros and cons. everybody is up and down with it. you have to trust the system that has been put in place. some of the rules, you think they are annoying, as players, but they are a reason and the keepers have been told. it is frustrating because it is a natural movement for the keeper to move forward for a penalty but u nfortu nately forward for a penalty but unfortunately that is the rule and we have to go by them. she is an attacker, so that means there was not much sympathy! much better news for england they beat japan two—zero to make it three wins from three. another world cup going on and the winner is the weather. we have seen more days lost to whether at any —— that any cricket world cup. they havejust whether at any —— that any cricket world cup. they have just gone whether at any —— that any cricket world cup. they havejust gone back out. australia playing bangladesh. a

great start for australia. david warner is really in the form. his second century of the tournament so farand he hit second century of the tournament so far and he hit an exquisite 166. australia, in the final over. 368—5. australia, in the final over. 368—5. awin australia, in the final over. 368—5. a win would put them top of the standings. england have been getting ready for their sixth game of the tournament against sri lanka. against afghanistan, they broke the od! record for most sixes in an innings but is there competition for who hits the biggest maximum. not really, but we talk about it. we talk about who hits the biggest sixes. i think mine was probably the biggest of the day. laughter. we do have some banter about it and i beat myself up a little bit.

kyle edmund has been knocked out of queen's in the first round by the top seed greek top seed stefanos tsitsipas. trailing by a set when bad weather ended play yesterday, edmund was unable to turn the match around when it resumed. he did save six match points before finally losing the second set seven—five. four uncapped players included in the training squad ahead of the rugby world cup. danny kerr included. bangladesh have been set a target of 382 to beat australia in the cricket world cup. you can see highlights on the bb —— bbc website.

campaigners have won a legal challenge over the british government's decision to allow arms sales to saudi arabia. since the bombing of yemen began four years ago, the uk has licensed almost £5 billion of exports to saudi arabia including fighter jets and precision guided bombs. campaigners argued this might violate international humanitarian law. naomi grimley is outside the court of appeal where what does this mean? the judges say the british government did not properly look back at possible violations happening in yemen with the saudi air strikes. there have been documented cases of air strikes hitting things like hospitals, factories, even school buses in some cases, and respected ngos and the un have raised concerns about whether they are violations of international humanitarian law. the judges said

today that the british government should be properly assessing whether there had been a pattern in the past and whether it would mean there would be a clear risk of violations in the future. because they say the government did not do that, they declared the policy is unlawful.m is potentially a blow for the british arms industry with more than 40% destined for saudi arabia. britain is saudi's second biggest arms supplier after the us, about 23% of arms imported by saudi are from britain. it is a multi—billion dollar industry. as to what this ruling means, liam fox has told the house of commons there will not be any new licences issued while they sought the question of the process out. it does not mean there will be an automatic suspension of all shipments because those existing licences will have to be reviewed, but they can continue now. britain's

first hydrogen chain has been revealed today. the ‘hydroflex' produces no harmful emissions, just water. it's been developed by birmingham university and the train maker porterbrook, and the long—term aim is to remove diesel trains from the network. the train will go through trials but could be operating within two years. here's our transport correspondent, tom burridge. it's the first of its kind. a british train powered by hydrogen. so what's the technology on board? this is about as green as a train gets. the hydrogen is stored in those tanks at high pressure. it's then piped through this myriad of piping here into the fuel cell, where it's mixed with oxygen from the air to create electricity. that in turn, you can see all the wiring here, can drive the motors underneath the train, and can be stored in this giant battery back here,

because when there's not a source for electricity overhead, the battery can power the train. what we're trying to do is make a transport system that's low emission, and the only thing that's emitted from here is pure water. the train will be used to test the technology, and the hope is that the hydrogen trains will be carrying passengers in two years' time. the next challenge is to get this train ready to go out on the mainline network, so it's going to run on your regular train lines out passing through stations. and we're going to do that, to test the train in a normal working environment. so we've got to get the equipment fitted underneath the train working to a good standard so these trains will be ready to go out for public use in two or three years' time. so why does britain need hydrogen trains? a quarter of britain's trains run solely off diesel, like this one.

the government wants them all phased out over the next 20 years, but the majority of the rail network around the country doesn't have electric cabling overhead, and that's where hydrogen trains come in. there are only two hydrogen trains in service in the entire world. they‘ re in germany. more are being built there. making rail travel cleaner in britain is a priority, and it will only be possible with hydrogen trains like this one. there's thousands of miles of railway that will never be electrified, and for those sub—75 mph journeys, if we want to eliminate diesel traction by 2040, as the government wants to do, batteries aren't going to be the whole answer, and this is. the challenge now is moving the tanks, batteries and fuel cell from inside the carriage and fitting it underneath the train, freeing up vital space for seats and passengers. tom burridge, bbc news,

in long marston, warwickshire. back to the tory leadership contest now, and just three candidates remain after the announcement a short while ago that sajid javid has been eliminated. who received the support of half the party in the final two, michael gove orjeremy hunt? joining us now is conservative commetator and founder of the grassroots website, conservative home tim montgomerie. sajid javid, a good campaign? he has been a friend of 30 years, so i am biased, but i thought he ran a good campaign and ideally a boris versus sajid would have been one that would ta ke sajid would have been one that would take the conservative party into new territory. will he have a say over mps who voted for him as to where they go now? i think mps make decisions for themselves and they are probably split three ways, i

would gather. i do not think it will fundamentally change the race that will now be unfolding. that race for second position is tight. two spoiled ballot papers and that would have made a difference. a michael gove orjeremy hunt number two to borisjohnson, what gove orjeremy hunt number two to boris johnson, what is gove orjeremy hunt number two to borisjohnson, what is the sense?” do not know what will happen. i would not dare predict. i worry about a boris johnson versus would not dare predict. i worry about a borisjohnson versus michael gove contest. three years ago michael gove essentially torpedoed boris's campaign with direct attacks on him. it would make for a lively campaign. good for you in the media to have a boris versus michael gove contest but i would like the party to mend some of its internal tensions over this contest. and a borisjohnson tensions over this contest. and a boris johnson versus jeremy hunt contest would be more collegiate, which is what it should be. and so i

hope, but do not predict, jeremy hunt will be the person who challenges borisjohnson. the question should be asked. of someone aspiring to the highest office in the land should be asked tough questions but not in a way that damages the party. is there a chance, after the second vote today, they might say we have no chance, let's say we are backing boris, we need to unite, and avoid that problem? if it is michael gove you avoid it by saying i am backing boris and we are a team. does that send a good message at?” boris and we are a team. does that send a good message at? i do not think that will happen and i did not think that will happen and i did not think it should. three years ago effectively had a coronation when andrea leadsom pulled out. i did not think if we had had the contest, theresa may would not have become prime minister, but i think we would have been more aware of her weaknesses. we would have seen the somewhat wooden performances should

put in the general election earlier. we know all the problems were boris johnson already? we may know some of the problems and some of his strengths. i would like the 16 hustings due to take place. the debates on tv have been dominated by brexit. why not one on the northern powerhouse. we have just heard two conservative chairmen who has said it is about brexit and what happens in october. of course brexit is important and if the party does not deliver it by the end of october, i think the conservative party is over. but if the conservative party is to win the next election, it has to talk to people about issues such as long—term care and how we prepare the next generation of workers for the next generation of workers for the technological age. having themed debates that are notjust the technological age. having themed debates that are not just about brexit would be more interesting and also it means the conservative party can reach out to a nation that is

increasingly turning its back on the mainstream parties. we have a busy afternoon. we will leave it to there. glaciers in the himalayas are melting faster than they used to, and that could have an impact on hundreds of millions of people in asia who depend on them for water supplies. the latest evidence comes from images taken by cold war spy satellites which show the amount the glaciers have melted has doubled over the last 40 years. our science correspondent, rebecca morelle has more: covert images snapped from space. these were taken by us spy satellites in the 1970s. recently declassified, they reveal how the himalayas once looked. now, scientists have compared them with modern satellite images and they've been able to see how the himalayan glaciers have changed. since 2000, the height of the glaciers has shrunk by an average of half a metre every year. that means they are losing eight billion tonnes of water annually. scientists say that climate change is the main cause of this rapid melt. temperatures have risen by one

celsius compared with the end of the last century, leaving the area dramatically altered, and this could have a major impact on the people who live there. there are hundreds of millions of people that depend in some way on the water that runs off these himalayan glaciers, and they can depend on that water in terms of just their freshwater needs for drinking, for agriculture, for energy production, and although the changes are complex, how that melts, are complex, how that melt, that loss of ice actually translates to discharge, we do expect freshwater challenges for those hundreds of millions of people. researchers are continuing to track the vanishing ice, but they warn, if the climate continues to warm, the melt will be hard to stop. rebecca morelle, bbc news. in a moment, business news. first a look at the headlines on afternoon live. sajid javid is eliminated from the

leadership race and michael gove overta kes leadership race and michael gove overtakes jeremy hunt in leadership race and michael gove overtakesjeremy hunt in second place and boris johnson overtakesjeremy hunt in second place and borisjohnson tops the poll. he said he was delighted to have the support of more than half of conservative mps. a royal split. prince harry and meghan leave the royal foundation, set up as a joint venture with the duke and duchess of cambridge ten yea rs duke and duchess of cambridge ten years ago. the headlines in business. carphone warehouse profits down more than 20% as it admits the mobile phone market was changing more quickly than expected. it is the second profits warning since alex baldockjoined the company as chief executive just over a year ago. may saw the biggest drop in british retail sales this year. cold weather is to blame with shoppers putting off buying summer clothes. sales in department stores were particularly weak. but to put it in context the sector has not grown since september of last year. as expected, uk interest rates

have been held at 0.75%. all nine members of the bank of england's monetary policy committee voted to keep them unchanged. slack is floating on the us stock market. what on earth is it? it isa market. what on earth is it? it is a messaging service that works within companies and it is well tailored. the description on the website says a single place for messaging tools and files to help people save time and collaborate. but it is worth around £12.5 billion, or at least if it manages to float on the new york stock exchange. there are interesting things about it. it has not ever made a profit. and it does not say at the moment it is going to. we talk to someone from business

insider. . it is growing very quickly and what it might be able to say to investors is it is too difficult once we are inside an organisation, once a culture has built up and people of rely on us for work, like microsoft's windows, it is difficult for an organisation to move away from our software so we will be here for years to come. permanency it promises rather than future growth. does it make a profit? it doesn't. another internet company that does not make money! one ofa company that does not make money! one of a fleet of companies that has gone public in the us and does not make money. but growth is part of the promise. i'm looking at the picture of some —— samira.

the promise. i'm looking at the picture of some -- samira. it is all about slack, which is going to be trading on the floor of the new york stock exchange asjb mentioned. there is excitement. it is all happening around me, hence why you cannot get a clear view of me but what is interesting about slack is the fact it is doing what we call a direct listing. traditionally, when a company becomes a publicly traded company they do a road show and garner interest of investors. slack has decided to go directly to the stock exchange. it is foregoing the other kind of road show stuff. a lot of people here are watching slack to see how successful it may be because, if it is, we can see that more companies may take this route.

because it allows them more flexibility and it allows them to get away from some of the fees that comes with using banks as underwriters. it will not be popular with the banks because that is where they get a lot of fees from. one thing to keep in mind is that before a company goes public, it already has a lot of private investors. one of the things that happens is when these companies go public, they sell these companies go public, they sell the shares and it dilutes the value of the shares that were held by people beforehand. what people here have been telling me is look, we are seeing biggs ipos. those people already holding the shares privately, because the value of the shares are getting deleted —— big ipos. we will wait and see what

happens. good to see you in the end! i look at the markets. the dow is looking very strong. that is because of what the fed has been telling us that chances are interest rates will be coming down, possibly by the middle of next month. and the ftse is up nicely on the back of the doubt. and they all prices up because of tensions in the middle east and the pound a little bit stronger against the dollar. thank you. the weather, midsummer's day tomorrow. explain what it is tomorrow. it is the summer solstice, the longest day of the summer and then the days will get shorter and nights will get longer. so the shortest

night, as well, tomorrow night. it is also when the sun is highest in the sky. beautiful sunshine tomorrow i think. we have had good spells today. this is cornwall earlier and cloud gathering in scarborough. there are showers around. we have cloud giving showers and there could be some across the south and east, north and west, but in between, spells of sunshine. not feeling as warm as yesterday because we have lost humidity but it is pleasant outside the showers and westerly breeze. that will ease overnight as will the showers away from the north and west. quite cool inland for june. temperatures will get back into single figures in most areas. the reason? high pressure coming in, the first this june, just the reason? high pressure coming in, the first thisjune, just in time for midsummer's day in the summer

solstice and then we have low pressure later in the weekend but tomorrow looks like a promising day. it has been wet thisjune i am sure you will not mind the odd shower in the north and western scotland. for the north and western scotland. for the majority, dry and bright. and it will feel warmer in the strong sunshine. overnight, a cold night. we start saturday, a fresh start, plenty of sunshine. the cloud will bubble up. it will probably be bright rather than sunny for most in the afternoon. but the sun just as strong, even with the potential sea breeze cooling it. sunday still looks for the majority fine and dry but there is a massive rain approaching on the west of the country and it looks like it will turn wet later in the day. the warmth building further east. the

humidity will start to increase and thatis humidity will start to increase and that is what the change is next week, how quickly it breaks down, to allow low pressure and heat combining to give big thunderstorms again. that means already there is a warning from the met office for thunderstorms on sunday into monday. 00:59:19,929 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 more for you later.
